They work at the crossroads of printmaking, illustration, publishing and applied arts.Their artistic practice is entangled with silkscreen and has many forms: artists' books, installations, art prints,
paintings and films.
They meet in Berlin in 2011 and discover that they share the same drive and energy toward screen printing. Multiplying projects together, they decide to formalize their partnership in 2013 by creating Palefroi, a framework which embraces all of their practices, the self-publishing of books and prints in particular.
Palefroi is also the name they use to sign all of their pieces as a duo. Tran and Jdanoff constantly go back and forth between their individual and their collective work. Their language as a duo is at the crossroads of their respective worlds. One is formal and abstract, the other narrative and figurative. Over the years, the boundaries between their personal and collective work have become more and more porous.
I was inspired by the movement in Palefroi's animations, they always manage to tell a colour story with their stop-motion. The jumpy, hand-drawn, effect works really well when creating quick gif's to experiment with ideas. The ideas behind Palefroi's animations are often a short story, like "Here Comes the Sun King" and their transitions between colour are really interesting, especially when they invert colours - this creates a really contrasting effect.
