We are pleased to announce that the Multipl project is expanding with the addition of Sad Emojis!
Telegraph continues the Multipl concept of offering limited edition works by contemporary artists created for art lovers who want to admire artwork outside of the gallery. Following the success of the previous series, we present sculptor and artist Tomáš Roubal and his Sad Emojis series.
Tomáš Roubal (*1982) graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava and has been interested in the relationship between humans and the digital world for a long time. He works with various art techniques - sculpture, painting, drawing and author's books. In his works he often deals with themes such as burnout, digital fatigue and false identities on social networks. He uses a special 3D metal hand printing technique that is time consuming and deliberately contrasts with the fast pace of modern life.
Roubal is one of the important young Czech artists who combine traditional craftsmanship with modern themes. His work is characterised by an industrial visual style that naturally combines the rawness of the material with contemporary themes. His work could be seen at the Telegraph three years ago in a pop-up exhibition Tomáš Roubal: 5G, which reflected the individual's move into the digital world. His work has been presented not only in the Czech Republic but also in international exhibitions, establishing a firm position on the contemporary art scene.
The Sad Emojis series was created especially for the Telegraph. In this edition we can see the sad smiley emoji, a symbol of the weariness and emotions of today's digital age. He transformed this simple symbol into handmade three-dimensional steel reliefs. Each piece is unique and reflects not only the look, but also the thoughts associated with life online.
This limited edition print is available in the Telegraph and offers a unique chance to acquire a collectible work that combines classical sculpture with digital-age themes.
A little sad in the face, but it looks good on the wall.
