BLABLA
LA-based French visual artist and director Pol Kurucz explores human eccentricity by challenging social, gender, and aesthetic norms. To evade the stiff mold of contemporary trends and discourses and to invoke childlike wonder, he combines highly stylized worlds, reimagined archetypes, and retro-surreal narratives.
After years working in theatre direction, production design, and photography in France, Hungary, and Brazil (where he spent half his adult life), Pol transitioned to film directing in Los Angeles in 2025. Charlie Is Not a Boy - premiering at Slamdance, 2026 - is his first live-action project, written, directed, designed, and narrated by him.
His photographs have been featured in more than a hundred publications, including Vogue, ELLE, Glamour, Marie Claire, Paper, Out, Pride, Gay Times, Rolling Stone, The Guardian, Dazed, Flaunt, The Hollywood Reporter, and Beautiful Bizarre.
His fine-art work has been exhibited at major international venues including Art Basel Miami, ArtExpo New York, LA Art Show, Red Dot Miami, Lincoln Center New York, Somerset House London, and Mana Contemporary Miami.
Pol also collaborates on celebrity-driven projects with Janelle Monáe, Pabllo Vittar, Paris Hilton, Saweetie, H.E.R., GloRilla, Nikita Dragun, Anitta, Bella Poarch, Rico Nasty, Todrick and Gottmik.
He is a frequent speaker and has given talks at FIT New York, CEU Vienna, and Pixel Show South America.
