Hi-Fructose recently caught up with Philadelphia-based artist Nosego as he prepares for his upcoming solo show at Thinkspace Gallery. The exhibition, entitled “Open Channels,” opens July 19 and will feature several new paintings as well as mixed media sculpture.
Manifested through imagery of fierce animals breaking through bizarre contraptions, the artist explains that his latest series expands upon the theme of focusing one’s inner strength to overcome life’s hurdles and evolve through past experiences. An accomplished street artist and videogame designer, Nosego’s fine art paintings feature an amalgamation of his interests as elements such as graffiti characters and cartoons are infused into brightly colored, fanciful scenes. By juxtaposing these familiar images with abstract compositions, each painting creates a bizarre yet beautiful realm where the commonplace intermingles with the subconscious.

Inside a run-down building off Berlin’s Nollendorfplatz, an area known historically for both its gay culture and punk community, 12 artists from eight countries (Fernando Chamarelli, João Ruas, Alexis Diaz (La Pandilla), NoseGo, Word to Mother, Curiot, Low Bros, Andrew Schoultz, Glenn Barr, C215, Dabs Myla, and JBAK) worked for two days to create original artworks for the facades and windows of the currently unused site (exciting news about the future of this space to come).
