How and Nosm at Jacob Lewis, by dreadnatty on Jan 24, 2015 16:01:37 GMT 1, Jacob Lewis Gallery is pleased to present A Different Language, an exhibition of new works on canvas by identical twins Raoul and Davide Perrรฉ, better known by the moniker How and Nosm. This is the artistsโ inaugural exhibition with Jacob Lewis Gallery, on view from February 20โApril 4, 2015, with an opening reception February 19, 6-8pm.
Intuition drives How and Nosmโs creative process, allowing their imagery to unfurl in a free and uninhibited way. Following the surrealist idea of blending the boundaries of dream and reality, the artists investigate the fantastical landscape of the unconscious in their work. Each piece creates a subtle story line as the figures contract and expand, revealing their own codes of meaning. โEach artist speaks his own language, a different language than his fellow artists, but one that can be learned,โ says Davide Perrรฉ.
How and Nosmโs tessellating imagery osculates within impossible constructs of space, at once creating illusions of infinite depth then cut by moments of contradicting flatness. By restricting their tonal range, the artists are able to focus more intensely on the possibilities of the imagery. Collected from the twinsโ many travels and cultural influences, the vivid imagery creates immersive layers of figures collapsing in on themselves, reminiscent of avant-garde cubist forms. This alien world of overwhelming detailed becomes calming and familiar as overlapping contorted figures, faces, and animals are untangled. As put by Raoul Perrรฉ, โOnce they learn our language they won't feel foreign anymore. The viewer becomes a part of our world.โ
How and Nosm were born in the Basque Country of San Sebastiรกn, Spain and grew up in Dusseldorf, Germany. The pair began experimenting with aerosol spray paint and tagging as teenagers. Upon moving to New York in 1999 they developed their signature style and a unique reputation for bold and highly detailed murals. Since then, the artists have been invited to execute large scale murals all over the world, including New York, NY; Lisbon, Portugal; Los Angeles, CA; Detroit, MI; Prague, Czech Republic; Stavanger, Norway, and Miami, FL. Their work is recognizable for its signature limited color palette and distinct visual language. The artists work together collaboratively on each piece using a combination of Cel-Vinyl paint, India ink, and aerosol spray paint.

How and Nosm at Jacob Lewis, by freezy on Feb 20, 2015 18:33:22 GMT 1, This show was amazing. These two are my favorite artists hands down. Really great guys as well. Their 3D backgrounds are getting truly mind blowing.
David said they were thinking a lot about travel and Japanese motifs for these works. The previous show focused more on how people interact and their vices.
Good to see Martha Cooper there too. Nicest woman ever? Probably.

How and Nosm at Jacob Lewis, by Poly Mindset on Feb 20, 2015 20:56:18 GMT 1, They said 3 sold before the opening. The smallest and the largest and one other. It's no wonder. These guys make super freakin' great art. They have a style that no other artist could even come close to, it's just wild. I think they will keep being recognized as one of the best of our generation and eventually as one of the all time greats. What fascinates me is that they don't release many prints at all. It's pretty much original or nothing. I kind of like that.

How and Nosm at Jacob Lewis, by turnsintoashes on Feb 20, 2015 21:26:05 GMT 1, Wow, I didn't expect them to sell this quickly. After I got the PDF I determined that I'm officially priced out on canvases, forever. There are still some monoprints available through Pace, if anyone was looking.

How and Nosm at Jacob Lewis, by freezy on Feb 20, 2015 21:49:33 GMT 1, I have one of the mono prints. It's my favorite piece of art. They are originals. And there is a ton of hand painting in them. I have had it for a while now and I still notice new images hidden in the details. The one thing I would say about the paintings in the current show is that they are MUCH brighter than the mono prints.
Incidentally... If you ever get the chance...go in the back rooms at Pace Prints. They are full of Keith Haring, Ryan Mcginness and lots of other really cool things I can not afford.

How and Nosm at Jacob Lewis, by sin on Feb 20, 2015 21:52:06 GMT 1, Yeah, I count my lucky stars that I picked up a canvas before the Pace relationship. I knew once that happened that it would be beyond my reach soon. So happy for them, they deserve the shine.

How and Nosm at Jacob Lewis, by maddoghoek100 on Feb 22, 2015 6:21:43 GMT 1, will be interesting to see how the assault arrest in oct will impact them, especially if Davide gets some jail time for it. some gallerists might get nervous.

How and Nosm at Jacob Lewis, by maddoghoek100 on Feb 22, 2015 6:34:03 GMT 1, yeah, vandalism is one thing, hitting a guy in the face with a beer mug in a bar fight is probably a bit different. one gives you street cred, and the other seems like it might make a gallery owner a bit nervous about repping you. Perhaps not because of the event, but the possibility of a next event.
Retna seems to be brushing off the domestic abuse shadows, but it just seems hard to think there would be no impact.

Difference here is Retna was beating his girlfriend and Davide was defending his wife and Raoul's girlfriend from a drunk heckler.
