NKSIN presents a brooding snapshot with a colourful twist.

MY DAVID X takes inspiration from old and new artistic traditions. While the smoking subject is influenced by ‘90s American cartoons and graffiti culture, NKSIN draws on traditional sfumato painting techniques to seamlessly blend one shade into the next. Pioneered by Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci and translating to mean evaporates, this use of hazy blending enables NKSIN to explore tonal variation – giving his work a distinct softness. Acid yellow headphones introduce a stark visual contrast. Together with a pale grey hoodie, both layered on top of the composition as hand-collaged elements, they ground their wearer within a specifically modern context.
