Nychos Austrian, b. 1982

Nychos is undoubtedly one of the most active artists in the street art world. Originally from a graf ti background, he has been painting in his city of Vienna and throughout the world for more than fteen years. In 2013, he reached a major turning point in his career on an American tour that took him to paint and exhibit at galleries in Detroit, New York and San Francisco. From the second half of the 2010's, Nychos has distinguished himself by painting walls and canvases with images of animals in motion whose bodies are dissected, skinned and cut into anatomical sections. An off-kilter heavy metal aesthetic prevails throughout. His surgically drawn mural works can today be seen from Miami to Istanbul through Hawaii, Sao Paulo, Singapore, etc.

Having founded several collectives in Vienna (The Lords, The Weird crew), Nychos has united a whole artistic scene around him, in particular through the gallery he opened in 2012, the Rabbit Eye Movement Artspace. In 2017 he settled in Oakland, California. Today he is considered as a major artist on the international scene, appreciated by lovers of illustration and graphics as well as art-lovers. His work is supported by several galleries in the United States, Asia and Europe.
