How & Nosm, the twins from Brooklyn, are tackling Detroit in two ways this week. First they are painting a massive mural downtown, and second they will be showing a new body of work at Library Street Collective called “In Between.” From the gallery, “Often referencing themes of dichotomy and duality, twin brothers Raoul (How) and Davide (Nosm) Perre will examine the struggle for balance in this exhibition of intricate works on canvas and paper, taking their exploration of opposites to places of mediation.”
In addition to 12 paintings on canvas, ‘In Between’ will include for the first time more than 30 pencil drawings, which the artists created as process for their many murals and paintings. This collection of works on paper is divided into two categories, ‘Born’ and ‘Unborn’, referencing whether the drawing was used to fulfill the larger projects (‘Born’) or remained unrealized (‘Unborn’).
Coinciding with the exhibition, Library Street Collective has partnered with Bedrock Detroit and Meridian Health to present a mural by How & Nosm at One Campus Martius, their tallest mural to date, which will inhabit the space next to the world-renowned work by Shepard Fairey completed in May 2015. The 184’ by 60’ mural, titled ’Balancing Act’, references a traditional family tree and considers it on a societal scale, taking the form of a totem pole. Balanced on one foot and dangerously close to collapse, the precariousness of the totem signifies the delicate nature of family and community, reminding us to strive for harmony as individuals and parts of the whole.
