Elisabeth Arkhipoff designs JAPANTHER "Rock and Roll Ice Cream" due FEB 16th, 10

Elisabeth Arkhipoff is an artist and designer who lives and works in Paris and New York. She was born in Ivory Coast in 1973 to a Russian father and an Armenian mother. Graduating Paris X university with a BA in Contemporary Literature and Philosophy, she started her artistic career in 2000 at the Paris Museum of Modern Art with an experimental free-lending library. Her practice embraces music, painting, sculpture, photography, video, installation and drawing which explores the functioning and selectivity of memory and its building of identity. Among collaborations with designers like Laurent Fétis, she creates designs for musicians (such as DJ Hell and Tahiti 80), fashion designers (such as Anna Sui, Eley Kishimoto and Diesel) and directs videos and films (for M83, Japanther among others). Her works have been reproduced in several catalogues and magazines including: Frieze, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Creative Review, IDEA, ZOO, Vogue, Ryuko Tsushin, +81, Self Service, Dazed & Confused, Studio Voice and SHOWstudio.com.
