Michel Majerus (1967 – 2002) was a Luxembourg artist whose work combined painting with digital media. Painting was Majerus’s preferred medium of expression, but his creative horizon extended to many aspects of popular culture, from computer games, digital imagery, film, television, and pop music to trademarks, corporate logos and other pop-culture sources. The casting of Studio Machine (Mark Klaverstijn & Paul du Bois-Reymond) for the design of the poster for his exhibition in the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (‘WHAT LOOKS Good TODAY MAY NOT LOOK GOOD TOMORROW’ in 2005) was perfect: the expressive typography communicates in exactly the right tone of voice.
