Snik: Shadow Aspect

StolenSpace are proud to present the first UK solo show from art duo Snik. With over a decades experience painting walls inside and out worldwide, Snik have successfully established themselves as one of the most interesting and progressive stencil artists in the UK. All stencils are intricately hand cut sometimes up to as many as 9 layers.

Through an exhibition of new and classic works, Shadow Aspect explores the effects of light on a subject or moment through the medium of stencil and spray paint. Over the last 10 years, Snik have developed an intense and bold aesthetic which has come to define their style. Portraits are shown emerging from darkness in a gradient of vivid colours. The intensity is created by the composition, often portraying frozen moments of dynamic action, the engaging stare of the subject, or a theatrical play of light. It is this almost Caravaggesque contrast of light and dark, which is the focus of this new exhibition; Shadow Aspect.
