Zyko78
Zyko78 (*1979) has been artistically active in urban space since the mid-1990s.
His works incorporate techniques and materials from both graffiti and ink painting.
After a long station in Berlin, a stay of several years in Beijing (China) brings him into contact with Asian painting. Especially the Chinese calligraphy and ink painting, whose essence lies in the spontaneous expressive painting style have taken the artist.
In his ceramic paintings, Zyko78 breaks away from the classic painting canvas and seeks a new material aesthetic. Through the alternating application and renewed removal of layers of paint, peculiar optical effects are created. Informel and its gestural, chance-influenced aesthetic are the inspiration here.
Zyko78 was a participant in various urban art projects, including Walllords Shanghai, 40Grad Urbanart Festival Düsseldorf, Hafendampf Essen, Urban Nature Hannover.
