Honorroller X Nicklas Hultman - Mankovsky Gallery

Honorroller X Nicklas Hultman

by Jonatan Erlandsson

Chris ”Honorroller” Chan. A Brooklyn- based artist with a multidisciplinary practice that combines sculpture, illustration, and graphic design to explore social constructs, branding, popular culture, and the transition from youth to adulthood. Often rendered primarily in wood, his geometric sculptures use abstract visual language to depict contemporary fashion and footwear. With these principles at the forefront of his work, Chan retains the organic element of the material to represent a mass-produced consumer good. Although they emulate iconic footwear, the rigid forms themselves are created to host and support live plants flowers.

Honorroller creates exclusive commission works for major brand concepts and clients from around the world which makes the three sculptures represented by us something truly unique to showcase to our base of collectors.

Nicklas Hultman is a Swedish multidisciplinary artist and designer. He worked and lived five years in Shanghai doing art and advertising. There he started doing his #baroqueikebana project which brought him to Japanese TV. He has been in several publications all over the world; Gestalten, Rakesprogress, 摄影之友 and METAL Magazine to name a few.

Flowers have always been a part of Nicklas's expression. From bursting buds to withering petals.

We at Mankovsky are thrilled to showcase a visual journey by two amazingly skilled artists. We placed Brooklyn based wood sculptor Honorrollers three blocky sneaker sculptures into the hands of Gothenburgs most creative floral designer Nicklas Hultman.

The Atlantic Ocean separates them but their creative outputs came together in our studio.
