'.EFFECT'

From a layered concrete tower in a greater London council estate, a young .EPOD soaked up 1980s TV Sci-Fi and Boom-Box Hi-Fi. The worlds of Ralph McQuarrie and Syd Mead drew his eye, while Melle Mel and Mantronix had his ear.

Studying art & design in the early 90s, he immersed himself in the London urban arts scene which at the time was going through something of a renaissance with genre defying works in graffiti and hip-hop emerging at pace. These core influences have manifested vividly in his paintings and murals. Sultry figures draped in elegant materials. Mirrored vessels in otherworldly landscapes. Cigarettes hanging from kiss me lips.

This September, .Epod brings his fusion of humanity, technology and the Urban Contemporary onto the walls of Nelly Duff. Are you ready?
