More about the artist
Ivan Chermayeff is a giant in the field of graphic design. The mind behind some of the past century’s most indelible graphics, from NBC’s pared-down rainbow-feathered peacock to Chase Bank’s blue octagon emblem. He is also an artist, whose droll collages and assemblages of found materials have the same modernist sensibility as his logos. His pieces transform the discarded — scrap paper, envelopes, wood, gloves, aluminum cans — into whimsical faces and abstractions with a minimalist bent. “I can’t not do something,” Chermayeff says, explaining why he uses his downtime to make art. That art is currently on view in a solo exhibition at Pavel Zoubok Gallery in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood (through April 9).
