APEXER "Nozzle"

About the Exhibition:   

noz·zle

/ˈnäzəl/

Noun

 nozzle is a device designed to control the direction or characteristics of a fluid flow (especially to increase velocity) as it exits (or enters) an enclosed chamber or pipe.

 Apexer will be exhibiting a new body of work compromised of various handstyle takes with an Apexer spin. All over print hip hop lyric canvases, modern minimalist canvases and some new ideas out of the lab. The artist takes inspiration in the Spraycan and particularly the Nozzle part of the Spraycan. As a traditional painter might use a brush or pen, Apexers medium has always been the spray can so it’s fitting that he focuses this exhibition not only aesthetically but also conceptually on this medium.
