+ OVERVIEW

The artwork by NKSIN portrays one of his most admired artists, Pablo Picasso. His artworks are compelling in using spray paint as a creative medium to create simple, powerful lines and layers on a color gradient. NKSIN demonstrates a unique art style that fully integrates classical connotations with trendy street fashion.
The artist creates an ingenious balance between characters and objects by applying contemporary items to ancient characters, creating a coexistence between the past and present. In this way, the real collides with unreal to produce unimaginable effects. Having been influenced by the American street art and animation design from the 80’s and 90’s, this unique style sets out to examine modern social issues from a provocative yet humorous perspective.
