Zedz

Zedz (1971) is an infamous Dutch graffiti artist, who currently lives and works in Milan, Italy. Originating from the Leiden world of graffiti, Zedz incorporates typographical and lineal techniques learned at this time into his contemporary work, which covers a diverse range of media, from murals and paintings to computer graphics and sculpture. Influenced by the principles and ideology of De Stijl, Zedz plays with the concept of geometry as a tool for self expression, treasuring its abstract experimental nature. His work can thus be seen as a continuation and revival of, as well as a new take on, the techniques employed by artists such as Piet Mondrian.
