SNIK SOLO SHOW - NOCTURNAL , by delamain on Oct 19, 2011 9:45:29 GMT 1, This November Delamain Arts is proud to present the first solo show of contemporay urban artist Snik entitled NOCTURNAL, a collection of work exploring the essence of the night.
The exhibition witnesses the merging of textures and materials, a fusion of techniques and a study of the beauty that can be seen once the darkness falls. Created with painstaking attention to detail, the artist uses graffiti spray and stencils to transform canvases into a fluid motion of colours and greyscale
Working with delicate techniques of textures and layering, Snikโs compositions are regarded as fine art with urban roots. Each piece is classically framed and consists of an intense build of eight to nine layers of spray with darkness being the prevailing theme of the collection.
Seamlessly transitioning from urban streets to a gallery space, Nocturnal is a celebration of the night, drawing the viewer into a dark and captivating world. The exhibition will see eighteen one-off pieces of varying sizes, a release of 4 mixed media giclee prints, installations and a very special set of collaboration canvases with Danish graffiti artist Morten Andersen.
Snik experiments with varying techniques and mediums, merging the aesthetic of the stencil with fine art. โIโve tried to create sparks of beauty in otherwise dull and mundane spaces. For me itโs about pushing the boundaries of stencil, constantly exploring the full extent of what can be achieved with different materials, layers, spray & technique, whilst staying true to the cutting.โ
Snik has exhibited globally in Melbourne, London, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Paris and Berlin, as well as being one of the few commissioned artists to paint at the Royal Albert hall. Nocturnal will be his debut solo show in London with Delamain Arts.
