Homelessness

Fine artists and Iranian brothers, ICY & SOT have elevated the urban art scene over the years with their social, political and ecologically focused artworks, scattered across the globe. Currently based in Brooklyn, New York, the artists are in constant pursuit of the mediums that will give their ideas the greatest resonance – whether it be chain link fences, barbed wire, old rusty shovels, or oil cans. Through their unique visual language and powerful, often site-specific works, ICY & SOT’s work discusses global issues including equal rights, imprisonment, the plights of migrants and refugees, climate change and the pitfalls of capitalism. The artists have received international recognition with their ability to transform difficult conversations and global affairs into highly engaging visual work.

Here the duo amplify the often ignored social issue of homelessness in Stavanger and beyond. Using hand cut boards which take the form of the people affected by this crisis, ICY & SOT hold a mirror up to society.
