① Artwork:
A Touch of Detroit
These artworks by Nils Jendri build upon his unique explorations of space. Using lacquer, oil, and acrylic, Jendri layers each canvas in abstract patterns, often utilizing spray paint as the final layer. The work hearkens back to his graffiti past yet arrives decidedly fresh.
Nils Jendri sees the act of painting as a deceleration against the so-called digital age. His choice of working tools directly interacts with digitally staged surfaces. Through the use of spray paint, Jendri reappropriates or "brings back" urban spaces, billboards, or posters into the private space of easel painting.
