Previously known as Strøk, Anders Gjennestad is a Norwegian stencil artist whose photorealistic pieces defy gravity in their dynamic movement across the walls he paints. The figures in his work are based on photographs Gjennestad takes himself before hand-cutting layers of stencils for each figure to achieve a sense of depth and dimensionality.
Long dark silhouettes trail behind the figures in this piece from the 2014 edition of Nuart, captivating viewers with Strøk’s radically altered sense of perspective.
