Nerf

Originally from Korea, Nerf has grown up in Argentina since the age of 7 and has been painting graffiti for 15 years. Though his art is heavily influenced by the New York graffiti styles and hip hop of the 1970’s, Nerf is perhaps best known and admired for his distinctive style of 3D isometric forms.

Whereas many artists use computer software and masking tape to achieve the perfect angles and lines that make this 3D style visually pop off the wall, Nerf has reached a master’s level of skill, and paints completely free-hand. He uses no guides or references to create his complex abstract landscapes, though when asked he remains endearingly humble about his process and skill.

Nerf is just as comfortable creating cohesive murals with street artists as he is sharing walls with other graffiti writers. His abstract 3D style is incredibly versatile, and his futuristic landscapes of mutable shapes and bright colors enable him to blend seamlessly into murals of any artistic style.
