NEVERCREW

Christian Rebecchi & Pablo Togni

NEVERCREW is a swiss based street-artists duo, composed by Christian Rebecchi & Pablo Togni. Since 1996 they do paintings, sculptures, installations and other projects.

NEVERCREW's work focuses on the relationship between mankind and nature and on the relationship between mankind and the system, in particular on the effects of human attitudes on the environment, on social injustices and on the relationship between the concept and the forms of "systems" and an essential, natural, human and animal truth.

The style of NEVERCREW is visually and technically hybrid: they combine a simple graphic structure with hyperrealistic and formally complex elements, two-dimensional compositions and sculptural installations, ideally breaking down the different spatial planes and highlighting the physical dimensions. When they intervene in a place, their approach is not to create an image, but rather to place the elements within the space in relation to the context, with the aim of generating a direct comparison inside and outside the work. The idea of ​​"construction" and "composition" is therefore the one that best defines their work, and it is present in their process at different levels: there are both a definite graphic composition, which structures the skeleton of the intervention, and a composition-selection of elements which, when confronted and combined, in turn form new parts. In these structures, natural and artificial elements are related in a declaredly forced equilibrium: living elements and inanimate elements, mechanical and biological, material and animal elements.
