Finok

[saL]

I was lucky enough to see one of the works by Finok when visiting Ruttkowski68 gallery in Cologne, Germany few days ago, and I must say I was impressed by the quality of his work. Finok is Brazilian graffiti artist, and a member of the same crew that Os Gemeos are part of (I believe I got that right). His style has some connections with the famous twins (bright colors, patterns, Brazilian tradition), but is clearly different and very distinctive and recognizable. Here are some poor iPhone snaps I took:







Finok had a solo show @ Ruttkowski68 few months ago, and it pretty much sold out. Only one canvas, and few sketches were unsold, and after seeing this one piece, I can understand why. Check out 12OzProphet for some higher quality pics of the works and the show opening, and Wertical for interview with the artist.

Im pretty sure that Ruttkowski68 from Cologne, Germany is representing him.. he had a sold out show with them (few bits were still left few months ago), so maybe try and contact them?!..
