Alex Mapar
Alex is a New York based commercial director, illustrator and animator.
He's recognized for his multidisciplinary, semiotics driven work, which has been unnecessarily and overly explained as "colorful and bold, sometimes surreal, always graphic and with a sense of subversive humor at its middle."
In his personal work he loves to get weird with characters, odd shapes and graphic psychedelia, all in the effort of telling stories that provoke thought, discussion and laughter.
He’s worked with everyone from Coke to Malibu, NBC to MTV, IBM to Google, Shopify to Warby Parker and Buck to Psyop. He also shaped and continues to teach the final thesis class for the Mograph Mentor school, producing videos for charities in need while mentoring young artists. He is also a Thesis Advisor at SVA and has given talks at SVA, NYU and for the ADC.
