About
Growing up in Vancouver, Sueme’s introduction to art came through his exposure to the world of graffiti. Over the past 8 years, his journey through graffiti art and it’s lifestyle has given him a unique view and skill set, which can be seen not only in his graffiti productions, but also in his design work and fine art practice.
In graffiti, Sueme’s focus is rooted in letter structure and foundation. Letters are formed, then tweaked, stretched and pulled to communicate movement and flow. Distinct colour selections are then used to accentuate and bring life to his pieces.
After being presented with more fine art opportunities, his process has taken on a more experimental approach. Utilizing similar materials and techniques found in graffiti, he approaches these works with a renewed spirit and outlook. Free from the boundaries of letters, he creates works that have a focus on the moment and emotion through actions and gestures.
Sueme is currently working in Vancouver at his DTES studio as a freelance artist and designer. However, not bound to one location, his work can be seen in Toronto and more international locales in the near future.
