Son of Liberty is an homage to his own artistic liberty, in movement, color, style, imagination and of course interpretation. Furthermore the show reaffirms the artist’s longstanding dedication to graffiti as a form of expression that still continues to occupy the spaces of its roots, especially the metro and the streets. Compressed spray paint cans, enameled metal plates from the metro and city maps are all common instruments in the graffiti culture that NASTY uses as canvases. His unique art pieces are all different in their size and shape, which therefore would enrich every graffiti and street art collection.

“I am a Son of Liberty.”

Nasty, 2016

Nasty found his creativity especially in spraying metro plans and ceramic tiles from Parisian subways. Thus he gave the streets, trains and subways some new calligraphic style and colorful life. His style is characterized by bright colors, as pink, purple or blue, to break the boring gray or white of the public buildings. To interrupt the monotony of urban walls his throw ups diverge from the vertical as well as the horizontal construction dimensions of the walls. Therefore passengers recognizes his distinctive style in his throw ups. Still using the classical materials such as metro maps, signs, tiles and flat pressed spray cans and his notorious calligraphic lettering he keeps the graffiti spirit alive and yet comes up with new as well as unique pieces.
