TiKToY

I like this "out of the clock"- face ;-)) Found it on a wall in Nijmegen.

The artist is TiKToY.

 

If you follow the link, you can read the below text and see more of his work:

Tiktoy started his graffiti career in 1993. At that time he was also painting and experimenting with other materials like clay and wood. In one of his pieces, he combined the best of both and that’s how the 3D clocks were born.

“My style is inspired by pop-surrealism, graffiti, and street art”, he says. "Throughout the years you would see the same shapes pop up into my pieces. For example, the arrows I use in my clocks were also a part of my paintings and murals."

Besides his aesthetically pleasing work, he’s also experimenting with elements. Pieces of his art move due to the wind, lights go on due to solar energy, and currently, he’s experimenting with rain.

 

“I like to challenge myself to come up with new playful features in my artwork. Time functions as a common thread in my art. I’ve been fascinated by clocks since I was a little boy and I’m getting a lot of joy out of it seeing people getting surprised by my clocks out in the public. It brightens up a world that is always in a hurry”.
