STEN & LEX INTERVIEW

Terrific and insightful interview from Nuart friends and family Sten & Lex.

Pioneers of "stencil graffiti" in Italy and self-taught street artists. All the work of Sten & Lex results from an individual path that developed far from art academies and design institutes. Their activity starts in Rome in 2001. They were the first artists in the world to introduce the half shade technique that they have nicknamed "Hole School" in stencil. In their last book, Sten & Lex: Stencil Poster (Drago, 2010) they describe the evolution of their style and their new technique, the "Stencil poster," that they illustrate in detail in this interview.

STEN & LEX & GAIA

Nuart friends and family Sten & Lex are joined by NYC's Gaia at Brooklynite Gallery next week for what's shaping up to be an outstanding show.

Their recent show at Rome's CO2 gallery sneaked under most people's radar, here's hoping that Brooklynite and their online fraternity can give this the attention it deserves.

S & L's meticulous and unique approach to stencil art is truly something to behold, it pushes the boundaries of an artform renowned and developed for its *"quick hitness" into a new & more reflective territory. Contemporary ? yes ! But also a touch of the ancient and eternal.

* yes, we're inventing the vocabulary as we go. Sorry about that, it's still early.
