[Since today we have learned about Art Nouveau, I thought I write my blog about PIXNIT, whos ornamental, flowery style, linked to the decorative arts, reminds me very much of the Art Nouveau style]

"As we get farther from her work, we're going to recognize that she's a different voice in contemporary art."(Chris Constas)

Pixnit was a street artist, who introduced something contemporary by combining graffiti with something traditional. Her style is beautiful, elegant. Her technique is spray paint and ornamental stencils, also called "spores." The artist has been influenced by Mexican mural art according to Asher. Her art is also influenced by the decorative arts, 17th-19th century architectural ornaments and wallpaper.(Folie que la nouveaute,2008).

The name PIXNIT comes from latin, which means "she painted it."
She is believed to be a rare artist, with a wonderful personality, who brought beautiful contemporary art with a hint of tradition and who believed that everyone deserves to enjoy art and art should be visible, easily accessible.
Unfortunately, she will not continue her journey since she is believed to be dead after dissapearing on April 2nd during her visit to Paris, but she will not be forgotten since her work has been exhibited in many places, such as Boston, Los Angeles and also in Switzerland.

"This quarreling over graffiti is going to fade, and she will be recognized as a great American artist", Constas believes. She is not limited to street art, she also works on canvas and paper, but she is recognized as a graffiti artist since 1987. (Gallery revisited)
