If you say you design things then the level of ambiguity and intuitiveness fine artists enjoy doesn’t apply to you, right? In the case of Daniel Kent, aka Ikhoor, you’d be wrong. Embarrassingly so, and I can prove it. Aside from some well-conceived, content-led graphic design full of high cultural stuff, just rest your eyeballs on his abstract graphic poster-like illustrations which play with elemental forms and graphic gestures in an intriguing, somehow tribal way, and ask yourself: What is a designer? Joke, don’t do that – just look at more of this Pennsylvania-based creatives work which relies on the “importance of process, art and reason,” it’s great.
