SICK OF YOUR STUPID SHIT

A Duo-Exhibition by

NUNO and TUYULOVEME
Back in 2014, NUNO and TUYULOVEME found common ground through their love for vandalism and their similar outlook on the art of life. As Graffiti gives and takes, their team-up is another testament to her universal, cross-cultural might. Graffiti is the language spoken by the few who understand her, yet her presence is violating and all-encompassing, intrusive and without prejudice to her witnesses. Most will never know what goes down on a bombing mission, let alone feel the primal satisfaction of getting away with illegal shit. It's raw and, arguably, the best fucking feeling in the world. 
Graffiti is a demanding mistress, reserved only for those with an unhealthy obsession for her. Many are called, but only a chosen few get to see her in her full spreadeagle glory. NUNO and TUYULOVEME fucks with her. She's tight. This show is dedicated to her and all the times they've had to run and bleed for her. Every night out doing Graffiti is another story for the Great Record-Keeper in the Sky. Worship through the self, not of the self.

In SICK OF YOUR STUPID SHIT, Q.C. grime meets exotic Jogja. NUNO and TUYULOVEME attempt to channel ten-plus years of name writing by creating visual salads of lines, letters, and color combos. Each layer of paint, ink, and paper speaks a page off their books. The culmination of countless bombing hours, concentrated on every cut and stroke they make. While TUYULOVEME is more chill about it, NUNO is being an active hater by calling out all the poser shits trying to act relevant. Come on bluud. Stay salty.
