About the Artwork: The character is seen reflecting on silhouettes of birds, or 'missings' as the artist usually calls them.
The use of empty spaces in the artists work is very common, used as a sign of longing and alongside the other images in the reoccurring iconography, examines the various things we do to cope with longing in its various forms.
About the Artist:
For
the past 7 years, Know Hope has been showing his work in galleries
and exhibitions worldwide, but mainly on the streets, in their
natural urban settings. Know Hope deals with the ephemeral aspect of
not only the genre itself, but also as a subject - the need of
momentary connections in the everyday reality, and the common
denominator that is the human struggle.
Through
site specific installations, murals and paste-ups, Know Hope attempts
to create situations that happen in real time, and are accessible to
the public on a day-to-day basis, with intentions of creating some
sort of a dialogue.
Know
Hope has garnered much attention over the past year with his street
works as well as successful exhibitions in the UK, LA, Norway, New
York, and Rome and is now preparing for solo exhibitions in LA, Tel
Aviv, and London in 2012/2013.
