U by Kano one7two Mixed media on paper.
Kano started sneaking out of his bedroom window at night to draw on bus stops more than twenty years ago. Moved by the grand subway cars and New York graffiti scene of the late 70s and early 80s, he continued to decorate the walls around local train lines and other surfaces that lent themselves to his art form.
In the late 80s Kano moved from Adelaide to Melbourne to pursue his passion for painting and graphic design even further.
Kano is still exploring the art of letter transformation, which he discovered through in his formative years of graffiti writing, but now takes the process a step further; deconstructing letters and manipulating them beyond recognition, until the only forms left are purely decorative patterns.
