Saïd Kinos is fascinated by the different ways in which people communicate through language, symbols and changing technologies. The high speed in which information is presented to us, and with it the transience of our modern forms of communication, is a common denominator in his work. Meanwhile, subjective associations and differing contexts can alter the reception of words and messages. In this, Saïd finds an element of abstraction which he explores through high-contrast, vibrant color combinations and fragmented typography.
“I specifically chose this quote for STRAAT. It is a running quote, a shared passion of mine and curator David Roos. At the same time, it is a beautiful metaphor for life in general. From a technical point of view, this is a somewhat new way of working for me. I deliberately chose brushes to achieve a more loose end result. For a very long time, I worked with spray cans and tape for a super-tight end result, but now I enjoy making the brush work tangible.” / Saïd Kinos
