HOW & NOSM.


"Generations"
by
HOW & NOSM


 
How & Nosm are twin graffiti artists from Spain.  They gained stateside notoriety through meeting and working with world renowned graffiti crew TATS.  While possessing the ability to do complex graffiti pieces, they are best known for their minimalist use of black, white, and red in their compositions.  Astonishing detail along with esoteric narratives make for paintings that have you staring for a while before you recognize the first character.  Amidst the surreal demeanor of each concept lies something that connects you with the characters; as if you're being compelled to empathize with their situation.  I'm curious to see what their influence has on the next generation of painters.
