Nicolas Tschanz

i was born on july 29th 1975, i am married and have two children. i am a freelance graphic designer and artist painter. i live and work in lausanne, switzerland.

i am the creator of the nikkogrammes. nikkogrammes are abstract graphic signs which are hand drawn one after the other in an
intuitive or researched manner. the possibility to work them as a texture, like a letter, offers endless possibilities. in the begining,
i worked only in black and white on various supports such as china (porcelain), paper and canvas, using ink, acrylic and fountain pen technique (rotring). my artistical work is in constant evolution. recently, i have started to use acrylic and ink laid down with a paint roller as well as newspaper scraps collages. for a different perspective i have introduced colors as well as plaster strips. for the time being i work on different canvas sizes.
