Igor "Aqualoopa" Cholda is an illustrator, designer, animator and street artist. Graduate of Warsaw University, faculty of philosophy, and Łódź Film School.
Aqualoopa is known primarily as a mural artist. In his latest exhibition "Testosterror", Aqualoopa explores the meaning of masculinity: Male energy is associated with the action, the thrust forward momentum to success, competition and strength. The men in the world today is evaluated in terms of strong-weak. However, energy is not exclusively male domain. It can also be seen in the world of feminist and equally applies to the ladies. The same energy is neither good nor bad. Is an experience for everybody. In the medical world corresponds to the hormone testosterone. Nowadays, the male energy concept it’s been distorted. In addition, it has become a target of criticism and shame.
The poster and the social network communication for the "Testosterror" exhibition took the main idea of the project and used the male symbol and a chili (as phallic representation of a penis) to wrap the graphics and give a glimpse of what the visitor would see in the gallery.
