About
The comic strip art of Cavaliere Blu
The drawings and writings of Cavaliere Blu, alias Adrian Peter, oscillate between comics and manga. Between dreams, madness and Surrealism. Between wickedness, heresy and wit. What emerges from this are comic strips for adults, a disturbed world evoking an apocalyptic, bizarre, kaleidoscopic panopticon of human absurdities. Animals, humans, chimeras and machines act in the same universe. Earth, fire, air and water merge. Everything unfolds in the here and now. Top becomes bottom and black becomes colour. Immanence and transcendence in their purest form. Horst Janssen, Mickey Mouse, Eric Stanton, Donald Duck and Fritz the Cat acted as models. The prophet Enoch, alongside Candido Amantini, Rome’s great exorcist, Till Lindemann, the singer of Rammstein, and the French poet Charles Baudelaire were the inspiration.
Adrian Peter comes from Switzerland and has worked as a journalist, copywriter (also for advertising films) and creative director. He was lecturer in communication at the Business School of the Bern University of Applied Sciences. He is also the author of numerous short stories and an entrepreneur. He has lived in Bern, Zurich, Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Paris, London and Los Angeles. He now lives in the backwoods of the Tuscan Maremma, Italy.
