Donald van schilt
After completing his study in graphic design in Eindhoven, the Dutch designer Donald van Schilt (1972) has worked at several advertising agencies as graphic designer and later as an art director. Since 2005 he is also a co-owner of Frisbi, an advertising/ design agency in Eindhoven.
Architecture, muscle cars, typography, tattoos and icons from the past are Donald’s main sources of inspiration. These elements can be detected in his work, which is a combination of different images and materials that form a semi-abstract composition. Rough coarse textured “urban” charisma characterises his work and the use of materials such as paper, cardboard and wood gives his work its authentic character.
Donald uses the Mac as the foundation for his work. Image materials are digitally combined until the right composition is achieved. For the final version he uses different techniques such as print, graffiti, screen print and acrylic on canvas.
