Meet artist Sergei Sviatchenko
AXEL presents the AXEL Artist Takeover once again.
In celebration of the release of his new book, Sergei Sviatchenko hosted an exhibition and book launch at AXEL Aarhus. We interviewed him, and the result is a video portrait, which you can watch further down in this article.
In 2009, Sviatchenko began working on the project Close Up And Private (CUAP). The website started as an artistic photography project centered around the details of a man’s wardrobe, his personal expression, and style.
“Close Up And Private” brings fashion photography into an artistic framework, offering a more abstract understanding, seeing style and fashion as elements of a new aesthetic.
Close Up And Private has collaborated with brands such as Costume National, Gant Rugger, Dickies, Levis, Mismo, Jack & Jones by Premium, Harris Tweed, AN IVY, and others, creating new artistic interpretations and designs.
According to a poll by the magazine EUROMAN, Sviatchenko has been recognized multiple times as the "Best-Dressed Man in Denmark" in 2010, 2014, and 2019.

Vi var utroligt begejstrede for at invitere til en eksklusiv kunstoplevelse i vores AXEL butik i hjertet af Aarhus!
Fredag d. 13. oktober fra kl. 15.00 til kl. 19.00 var vi vært for en særlig begivenhed med den anerkendte dansk-ukrainske multikunstner, Sergei Sviatchenko. Dette var en enestående mulighed for at opleve hans kunstneriske genialitet og møde manden bag værkerne.
Sergei Sviatchenko er kendt for sin unikke evne til at forene forskellige kunstformer som fotografi, arkitektur og kunst. Hans værker fanger øjeblikke af skønhed og kompleksitet og giver os et indblik i hans dybe kreativitet og hans fortolkning af verden omkring os.
