See Through, See Beyond

Pablo Togni and Christian Rebecchi gave life to the artistic duo Nevercrew in 1996. Their approach to street art was primarily through painting and other media such as sculpture, illustration, photography, and video that examine the human condition, especially the relationship between mankind and nature. Their pieces are characterised by concepts such as the mechanism, composition, section, parts, memory, choice, relationships, conflicts, exploration, empathy, and surrealism.

Nevercrew painted the astronaut, a recurring character in their paintings symbolising the greatness of mankind’s achievements, at the top of the wall as a metaphor for someone who can see things from a different perspective, a silent viewer of a larger picture. In this case, he is a witness to the daily activities of Lodhi Colony. A white light can be seen entering the meteor, and after passing through, it gets refracted, a commentary about how everyday occurrences, when viewed with artistic or creative vision, become something more.
