Jendri's paintings confront the viewer with dynamic spray-painted compositions on canvas that highlight his fluency with the sprayed medium. These beautifully crafted compositions bring to mind blurred architectural drawings with their elegant use of lines, patterns and blocks. Combined with his instinctual use of colour - Nils creates new arrangements in painting with his own signature style.

"When I paint I'm highly focused. I like the traditional idea that all what surrounds an artist is concentrated and present in that special moment of painting. The spraycan is the tool I can discover new ways in painting without using traditional painting tools. Cuts, drips, blurred lines and that special asthetic only spraypaint can create, is what pushes me and keeps me on fire".
