エレノア・コプカはドイツ出身のアニメーター兼ビジュアルアーティストで、現在はフランスを拠点に活動しています。彼女は特に、質感、模様、そして不気味な変化に興味を持っています。東ドイツの美術学校で木版画とリトグラフに魅了され、それが今日に至るまで彼女の形やコントラストに対する認識に影響を与え続けています。
彼女に影響を与えたものは、ニンテンドー64のグラフィック、妖怪、モート・ガーソン、坂本慎太郎、フライシャー兄弟、日本の陶芸、そしてペストリーコンテストなど、数え切れないほどあります。エレノアは音楽と向き合い、物語性のないビジュアルを制作することに情熱を注いでいます。
Adult Swim、MTV、Pictoplasma、ZEIT、Giphy、Condé Nastといったクライアントのために、画像やアニメーションを制作する栄誉に恵まれました。また、Nintendo Switchで配信されているゲームのアートディレクションとイラストも手掛けています。
Elenor Kopka is an animator and visual artist from Germany, currently based in France. She has a particular interest in textures, patterns, and eerie transformations. At art school in Eastern Germany she developed a love for woodcut and lithography, which continues to influence her perception of shapes and contrasts to this day.
A non-exhaustive list of her influences includes Nintendo 64 graphics, Yokai, Mort Garson, Shintaro Sakamoto, the Fleischer brothers, Japanese ceramics, and pastry-making competitions. Elenor enjoys working with music and creating non-narrative visuals. She has had the honor of producing images and animations for clients such as Adult Swim, MTV, Pictoplasma, ZEIT, Giphy, and Condé Nast. She has also art-directed and illustrated a game that is available on the Nintendo Switch.
In her animated projects, Kopka primarily works digitally in 2D, focusing heavily on frame-by-frame animation. Even though she creates her visuals on the computer, she strives to infuse them with an analogue, tactile quality that echoes pencil drawing, airbrushing, and printmaking. She loves experimenting with textures, patterns, superimpositions, and contrasts. With her initial focus almost exclusively on black and white, driven by a fascination with distilling images to their essence and perfecting shapes. Although she has since incorporated colour into my work, Kopka still holds a particular love for working with light and shadow.
