This solo exhibition will mark two years since his debut as an artist.
Nozography
Nozography, a former bank employee, has spent seven years in Canada since making the transition, building a career as a photo/videographer, model, and painter, leading to an artist with a wide range of expressive styles. 2 years of experience has led to a significant evolution in the artist's style.
His energetic mixed media works (using a variety of materials) with powerful messages draw the viewer in.
What you protect at the cost of losing your identity is not very important. This powerful message, based on the artist's real-life experiences, exudes from his works.
Artist Statement
After traveling to Canada, he began to look at "individuality" in a positive light.
I came to see "individuality" in a positive light and regained my sense of self.
She studied psychology on her own to get up again even when her heart was broken.
Be YOU, Not Them.
Be YOU, Not Them.
She creates works of art that deliver messages by incorporating her own thoughts and events into her artwork.
She aspires to be an artist who encourages others in the same situation.
As a former photographer, his pictures are inspired by the photographs he took himself, and he has given a new hope to photography with Nozography.
2nd Anniversary Solo Exhibition
In the two years that Nozography has been following the words, "Be yourself," it has gained a strong presence in the market and has been well-received by many people. When you take on a new challenge, there is always a sense of anxiety. I am afraid of failure. We want the courage to take action. This artwork may be seen as a way to encourage such feelings.
Please come and see the trajectory of Nozography, a fusion of photography, design, and street art, at the exhibition venue.
