KOHN COMPOUND FEATURED ARTIST
HOW AND NOSM
"Dichos For The Crisis"
"The Art World's Twin Talents" How and Nosm featured their signature painting at The Kohn Compound during Art Basel Miami (Wynwood) in 2010. This infamous Art Wall measures 20 ft. by 110 ft. See this extrodinary piece now on exhibition during Wynwood Art Walk through November 2011.
The twin brothers HOW and NOSM are graffiti artists and professional muralists residing in New York. Born in the Basque country of San Sebastian, Spain, the Perre brothers grew up in Duesseldorf ,Germany practicing the Bronx born art form of graffiti. Their late teenage years were spent spray painting the world, visiting many of the more than 50 countries in which they both left their remarkable artwork on any kind of surface including subway trains.
In an age where lavish color and effects often compensate for style, the Perre Twins aka How and Nosm have taken an opposite approach. In their newest works the brothers have restricted themselves to a sparse color pallet – red, black and white. The absence of color accentuates every line so that the outline jumps to the forefront. The drawings have the aesthetics of Jack’s, Queen’s and King’s pulled from a deck of playing cards. The meticulous lines and intricate patterns presented in such a minimalist fashion makes the brothers’ work instantly recognizable and unique.
