Remio "Nothing lasts forever" Speerstra Gallery Switzerland

A major figure in contemporary graffiti, Remio sees creation as a spontaneous state of grace. On paper, canvas, or ceramics, he gives rise to an instinctive universe where his favorite letter, R, becomes a character, a totem, an icon. The gesture is essential: each spray can, each stroke, each choice of color is the result of an immediate, almost ritualistic intuition. Drawing on the raw energy of tagging, he brings forth a visual poetry nourished by his memories, cartoons, masks, and materials weathered by time.
