NemO's: 'My next goal? Studying Street Art'

In an interview with Artribune, street artist NemO's discusses his practice, his view of street art as indefinable, and his upcoming project: studying what street art actually is. He describes his subjects as attempts to understand the dark instincts of human beings, reflecting on the concept of 'inhuman' as a constant of humanity. He works with paint, brushes, rollers, glue, and recycled paper, improvising his process. He hopes viewers pause to think and discuss his works rather than reach a single conclusion. He sees no universality in art, only the atavistic need to express. He considers perfection a mutable concept and finds it essential to draw naked, old bodies in an era dominated by a certain aesthetic. On social media and street art, he notes that digital reproduction strips the original of fundamental characteristics. The interview was conducted by Alessia Tommasini.
