For 35 years, Walter Nomura, a.k.a. Tinho, has walked and explored big cities looking for an intimate relationship between its’ geography, architecture and surface. Whether skateboarding, doing graffiti or just ‘flanneuring’ as Walter Benjamin said.
Graduated in Fine Arts, by the FAAP, this artist contributed towards graffiti being recognized as Art in Brasil and for Brazil to be recognized as one of the most important countries in the World for Graffiti and Urban Art production. This recognition helped him to do a big building painting in Berlin, during the FIFA’s World Cup 2006, and a serie of his own art shows around the world.
At his artistic production he looks to understand and express this relationship between man and artificial environment in the big metropolis and highly urban cities where millions of people live together hiding their individuality and living in another simultaneous worlds, entangled in each other and drawn by their constructors and their chances.
Taking possession of that at the same time is from everybody and nobody, making use of their outlines and surfaces and socializing his thinking as a form of Art, ideology and way of life, he collects papers and real and imaginary images which are registered in his visual diaries between the places where he walks, resulting in collages, drawings, paintings and installation projects.
