Catalogue Note

Quik uses acrylic paint and canvas as easily as he uses spray paint and a torch light. He paints the blues in which he discusses the injustices of white society as opposed to minorities, larded with a sense of humour and self-mockery. Every square millimetre is covered with detailed cartoon figures in bright colours, dancing across typographical tours de force.
