Vincent Schwenk is a 3D-Artist who has expanded his visual skills into multidisciplinary fields, from designing album sleeves, to creating corporate branding projects, as well as conference identities and digital art. After graduating with his BFA in Graphic Design from FH Augsburg he started his freelance career in art and design and acts as a director, motion designer, corporate partner and a teacher.

His work plays with physical irregularities: futuristic, candy-colored constructions, which in their artificiality possess a strong organic energy, expand their bodies through abstract spaces and fuses into fluid sculptures and installations. He is influenced by associative references to the characteristics of his close surroundings. Many of them are imbued with a narrative humour that brings a new perspective to these ordinary objects and situations of everyday life. An example of this is seen in his current series Non fungible trash. Together with Vitaly Grossmann they acted as the directing duo called VVAND where they tried to explore new visual styles. Schwenk’s work deforms pervasive spaces and transforms them into new contexts. This is done by using transformative and performative installations and converting digital sculptures into moving images. He expresses his artistic drive mostly through self initiated projects.

For BAB 2022, Vincent Schwenk will be showing his digital fashion series, When K Hits, which he started in 2021. Dancing has always been an expression of the artist’s inner self. Moving through space and time, has it always been a break-free-moment: releasing energy, giving and sharing moments, feeling the joy of life until we‘re cocooning inwards again.

Within a digital space, ‘garments’ are no longer restricted by the demands of the human body. Instead they are liberated, limitless in the forms that they might take. Schwenk’s digital fashion transcends the body, and in doing so, broadens our limited definition of fashion by abstracting its essential components. Without the human being, fashion becomes an elevated interaction between cloth and motion, form and ideology.
