Vinnie Nylon
WISH LESS gallery is thrilled to announce “Acid Rain” a solo exhibition by British painter Vinnie Nylon, who has developed his own style as a graffiti writer since the 1980s and has influenced many artists, including Banksy.
Characters and words selected at random play with the element of chance, echoes of DaDa but in eye punching neon colours that evoke graffiti and skateboard graphics of the 80s. Vinnie’s versatility and ever evolving approach to creativity is demonstrated in his powerful graffiti, paintings, collages and transformation of found objects such as old books covers and industrial cans. He freely expresses a pop and nostalgic worldview with an overflowing sensitivity and masterful brushwork.
This exhibition marks ten years since Vinnie first exhibited with us in Tokyo and forms a ‘return to the classics’ reintroducing familiar classic characters such as Lenny Crackfix, Machine Head the Boom Box, My-T-Tooth and Soda Pop. The exhibition features a rich variety of works including a selection of brand new artworks on paper, wood and steel.
A riot of colour for the trashy fashy club kids, skaters, taggers, weirdos, punks and beatniks, a boho boogie down on the north side of town.
