ART FOR THE
DOOMPOP IS A YIN AND YANG NEITHER GOOD NOR BAD, BLACK NOR WHITE. IT CLASHES VIBRANT COLOURS WITH DARK MOTIFS, EMBRACING RAW HUMOR AND IMPERFECTION. LEAVE PERFECTION TO THE MACHINES; DOOMPOP PRESERVES THE RAW EMOTION OF HUMAN IMPERFECTION.
ABOUT
I am interested in raw, expressive shapes, hand-drawn imperfections and strong graphic contrasts.
WORK
WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES. NO ONE IS PERFECT. THAT IS WHY IN MY ART, MISTAKES OFTEN STAY BECOMING AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE WORK ITSELF.

aboutÂ
ETIENNE VON CHELLERI (B.1985) IS A SELF-TAUGHT PAINTER AND CURATOR BASED IN IZOLA, SLOVENIA, WORKING UNDER THE MONIKER DOOMPOP!
FUSING RAW PUNK AESTHETICS WITH STREET POP ICONOGRAPHY, HE USES ACRYLICS, SPRAY PAINT, POSCA MARKERS, AND DIGITAL TOOLS TO BUILD BOLD VISUAL DIARIES OF SOCIAL COMMENTARY AND HUMAN EMOTION.
BLENDING IMAGE, TEXT, AND RAW ICONOGRAPHY, VON CHELLERI’S WORK RECALLS THE IMMEDIACY OF UNDERGROUND GIG POSTERS AND PUNK FANZINES, EXPLORING HUMAN EMOTION, EXISTENTIALISM, AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY.
USING A HIGH CONTRAST PALETTE OF NEON HUES AND DENSE BLACKS, DOOMPOP! BALANCES DARK REFLECTION WITH BOLD GRAPHIC HUMOR, INVITING VIEWERS INTO AN UNREFINED VISUAL DIARY.
LIKE DAVID LYNCH SAID: ‘AN IDEA ARRIVES INSTANTLY LIKE A LIGHTNING SPARK.’ IDEAS HAVE A SHELF LIFE. THEY ARE LIVING THINGS. IF YOU DON’T SEIZE THE SPARK IMMEDIATELY, IT EVAPORATES LIKE SMOKE.
