Drypnz is a New Zealand based paint mover. For the past five years he has been creating murals and street works that imitate experiences, and the people he finds surround him. The output is characters called Drypppls. They try and explain and expand the notion that, ‘the human race is in a state of dis-evolution, revealing exaggerated aspects of the human condition and our common traits.
Check out Drynz work in the Sweet Streets Award Exhibition: 8-24 October, 1000 Pound Bend, and his live street-mural painting throughout the festival (exact locations to be announced).
