NUG, "i am just trying to be nice", 2013.

31x22 cm, book, first edition, with unique sprayed cover, ed 750.

"The graffiti Nug represents is not one that would be nice and accommodating if it were allowed into art schools and amateur galleries. It does not want to enter the heat, but rather stay out in the cold and what one in graffiti circles experiences as a pure, uncompromising way of life. The graffiti painter as the holy madman of art.", writes Per Andersson about Nug, 2009, for SVT. Andersson thereby approaches how Nug in his artworks transgresses the tension fields, transforms a kind of inherent aggressiveness and reduces letters to undulating lines.
