'Can' Print Edition December 03 2020

SHOK-1 is pleased to announce the release of ‘Can’, a limited edition print in two colourways. To celebrate his 35th anniversary of spraypaint, the artist turns his X-ray vision on the anatomy of the can itself. This is an essential acquisition for any collector who appreciates the medium.

Spraypaint first became commercially available in the 50’s at around the same time as acrylic paint, yet remains a comparatively maverick choice for art. Nevertheless, some of the best-loved works of our time are rendered in it.

Learning to work freehand in spray is challenging. First teaching himself with crude paints designed for car exteriors in the 80’s, over the decades SHOK has refined techniques of peerless subtlety. His unique X-ray murals exemplify this and also narrate his passion for science and technology. 

‘Can’ speaks to this with delicate organic smoke-like patterns contained within the hard mechanical geometry. Mysterious like clouds, the imagination can find many images within them. Minimalist and elegant yet packed with detail, it is a perfect example of his aesthetic.
