Italian street artist Alessandro ETNIK was recently in Trento, a city in the Trentino–Alto Adige region of northern Italy, invited to take part of the Finestre Urbane event, curated by Luca Pichenstein.
The new mural is characteristic of ETNIK’s graffiti based style where a mix of architecture, graffiti and illustration, where structures and perspectives of a deconstructed urban environment are juxtaposed and resembled again in order to express its essence, a place where geometric and organic shapes meet. Here are a few images of the work provided by the artist.
About the artist
Born in 1972 in Stockholm, Sweden, he currently lives and works in Florence, Italy. ETNIK became part of the graffiti scene in the early 1990s, since then his production has undergone countless evolutions reaching his current aesthetics characterised by the representation of the urban landscape as abstract agglomerations that evolve into 3D representations and peculiar constructions.
In 2009 ETNIK founded with Duke1 the group Bunker108, which currently cooperates with public administrations to organise numerous kinds of artistic events. In 2013 he exhibited his work at the MUBE in Sao Paulo (Brazil), which was followed by shows in Paris, Düsseldorf, Turin, San Francisco, Nice, Chicago, Monaco.
