Christophe Brunnquell (born 1969) is a French art director, and artist. ==Biography== Brunnquell was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, and started working as an art director for ''Encore'' magazine after graduating from high school. After being interviewed by Olivier Zahm and Elein Fleiss for Purple magazine, they hired Brunnquell as art director from Purple’s second issue in 1993. The popularity of Purple helped boosting his own career, and since then he has been working with art direction and design consultancy for, among others, Louis Vuitton, the Venice Biennale, Le Figaro’s fashion guide, Fabien Baron, Colette, Balenciaga, Céline, Cosmic Wonder, and Zucca. In 2004 Brunnquell launched ''Carnaval'' magazine, a publication mainly displaying his own art work.〔Fujimoto, Yasushi; The 10 Influential Creators for Magazine Design; Pie Books, Tokyo 2007; p. 6-29〕 Brunnquell’s engagement in Purple has shifted through the years, and since the Summer 2007 issue the art direction is made by M/M Paris; though he seems to remain a part of the Purple crew – the Summer 2007 issue contained several of his monochrome paintings,〔Purple Fashion Summer 2007; Purple Institute, Paris 2007〕 and Brunnquell’s artist’s book ''Années érotiques'' was attached to the Spring/Summer 2008 issue.〔Purple Fashion Spring/Summer 2008; Purple Institute, Paris 2008〕 In an interview by Yasushi Fujimoto, Brunnquell explained his wish to work more or less full-time as an artist in the near future; and that his motifs are inspired by Japanese ''Yōkai'' (ghosts). The incorporation of typography in his paintings reveals his background as a graphic designer. In 2009 he collaborated with Italian agency Studio Blanco () for Carte Blanche, a capsule collection project designed for Sportmax (Max Mara Group). Brunnquell’s atelier is located in Paris’ 18th arrondissement.〔Fujimoto, Yasushi; The 10 Influential Creators for Magazine Design; Pie Books, Tokyo 2007; p.8-9〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christophe Brunnquell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
