“Striking Simetry” is definitely the right title for this piece presented by MTN Australia on the graffiti artist Sidney Nico. A extended interview helps us comprehend his quite peculiar style. Read it here.
‘Symmetry just works, It’s balance is present everywhere in nature and as humans we are drawn to it. We seek it out. I am interested in patterns and repetition, and also the way that one can use a point of repetition like the center-line to play with an image.‘
‘Graffiti was originally about non-conformity, and personal expression, but here it is often quite the opposite with people trying to subscribe and conform to a particular style. I think variety is what keeps it all interesting.‘
