Saro Contemporary Artist
Biography
Vincent Ackermann was born and raised in your the story of suburbs of
Lausanne. In the middle of the 90’s, Lausanne was the world capital
of inline skating. The best American and European riders come here a
few days a year for the International Roller Contest, the world’s
biggest event in the sport. At that time, SARO discovered and was
seduced by the hip-hop culture and all the graphic universe that goes
with it. The magazine Daily Bread, dedicated entirely to
rollerblading, Cypress Hill, a West Coast rap group, as well as Arlo
Eisenberg, a pioneer of aggressive rollerblading and graphic designer,
are the first sources of inspiration for the young Vincent
Ackermann. A self-taught artist, he tried painting during his
teenage years but it is with a lens that he is most comfortable. In
parallel to his engineering studies, he devoted himself to photography
and digital art. His artworks will be exhibited by the Papa Josette
gallery in the Flon district of Lausanne.
