THE WEIRD
Each member of the international
mural and illustration collective -- CONE, DXTR, FRAU ISA, HERR VON
BIAS, LOW BROS, NYCHOS, LOOK, VIDAM and ROOKIE -- focus their work on
high quality character design created in unique yet recognizable styles.
In addition to street art and graffiti murals, they work as gallery
artists, professors, graphic designers, illustrators and lecturers
throughout Europe.
Showcasing a sharp, vibrant
and aggressive palette with both gallery and street work, the collective
has painted murals throughout the world and have worked for high
profile clients spanning Converse to Red Bull. Their first group show in
Berlin in 2012 was hailed a huge success and the collective has been
featured in publications throughout the US and Europe including
Juxtapoz, Hi-Fructose and Amateur Magazine.
“When we
began working together had known each other for quite a long time, we’re
all kind of comic book based illustrators. The old Tales from the Crypt,
things like that are where we find a lot of symbols and influences and
we pull them into our work in a very modern way,” Vienna based artist Nychos
said of the group. “We have a very wide range from the more graphic and
very clean, to the more painterly and classically trained style of
painting.”
