NUNO HENRIQUES

bring together two distant realities, whether on a more formal level,

public target or even by their practitioners – graffiti and cross-stitch. By transposing graffiti into a

distant material as the cross-stitch, transforming its connotations, he converts public and sitespecific urban art into a mobile and private piece that can be acquired

After graduating from Fine Arts University of Lisbon, Nuno Henriques moved to Berlin where he currently lives and works. Nuno Henriques' works bring together two distant realities, whether on a more formal level, public target or even by their practitioners – materials belonging to the domestic sphere with content generated in contemporary urban settings, namely graffiti and cross-stitch. By transposing graffiti into a distant material as the cross-stitch, he converts public and site specific urban art into a mobile and private piece that can be acquired. His work strikes through the contrast between the medium and the content, as well as between the act of "tagging" and that of "cross-stitching" in terms of time and rhythm.
