Askew One

This piece of original artwork is cradled and ready to hang.

"This piece was painted using acrylic, cel-vinyl and waterborne glaze. This piece was created as part of the Onefifty show with Gary Silipa and Elliot Francis Stewart last year. We initially made 50 works each, $150.00 each and only allowed 150 people into the show. The show was quite fun. We sold quite a few and had to top up to 50 each again for our online edition which also went pretty good. These works are the remaining ones and are a combination of works from both shows.." - Askew

Askew is a multi-disciplinary artist mostly renowned for his graffiti art paintings. Widely regarded as one of the New Zealand graffiti scene’s driving forces, he has managed to remain at the forefront of the movement (both in New Zealand and throughout the world) whilst working tirelessly behind the scenes in a diverse array of projects.

Askew’s indoor canvas works are influenced by double exposure photography, bold illustrative lines reflective of comic books and the graphic power of the letter. This is also seen in his public mural works in which his attraction to ‘bigger is better’ is highly precedent.

With an abundance of achievements and experiences almost 20 years in the graffiti scene which include a guest artist invite to Primary Flight - Art Basel Miami and taking out two consecutive ‘Write 4 Gold’ world titles as part of TMD crew (who remain undefeated), Askew is also versed in graphic design, illustration, photography, publishing, music and moving image. A self-taught, self-sufficient one-man army with no formal art qualifications behind him, Askew is an artist schooled by life itself.
