Altered magazine covers by Christopher Coppers.



Talking about a love-hate relationship with fashion: destructive creator Christopher Coppers certainly has one, by violently carving in fashion or beauty magazines, changing their function and appearance.



Christopher Coppers is a Brussels-based artist whose preferred medium is magazines. For the most part, his work consists of interventions, either with, within or on magazines. Combining his love for printed matter with an obvious urge for creative destruction, Christopher revisits magazines in a way that somehow gives them a second purpose.



Construction and deconstruction are important key elements in his work. He dramatically reinterprets the original covers of magazines such as Elle, Vogue, Playboy, View Magazine and many others, by intricately carving them and therefore transforming them into sculptures.



Written for BLEND.
