Skareone (b. 1995), "Hype Rain," 2021

Biography
Born in 1995 in Sverodonetsk, where he found a place to develop creativity and unlimited freedom of self-expression. He began his career as a graffiti artist in 2010, and in a short period of time developed an aggressive, catchy style, which is characterized by the expressive form of letters connected by lines that can be basic for several letters at once. In 2013 he moved to Warsaw to study and here he met local representatives of the street art and graffiti scene. Since late 2015, Skare has been experimenting with abstraction and optical art, which is reflected in the evolution of his style called "Neurowild" - where the font suggests a whimsical, mutating form with references to the nature of neural networks and brain activity. A huge influence on the final formation of his style was his participation in the 2016 Roskilde Festival, which brought together the best graffiti artists from around the world. Member of international graffiti teams - FX, NID, UPC. His paintings focus primarily on letters and their transformations. Works based on the developed style "Neurowild" are presented as one living organic form, inspired by brain activity. Mutations, diseases, hallucinations resonate and are presented in graffiti works as optical art elements, glitch elements, cloning letters and placing them inside other letters. The result is an entirely new form of letters that does not lose its hierarchy or essence as a separate font unit. With this style Skare wants to show the variety of unlimited possibilities of working with graffiti fonts, which can reflect mental and emotional states. This is the moment when letters become a tool for expressing inner feelings.
