BIOGRAPHY
| Adrian Gander aka Anoy (*1991 in Stans) lives and works in Nidwalden. He studied Design & Art at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts from 2010 to 2014 and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication. His occupation with the medium of drawings was at the beginning of his creative work. Graffiti, architecture and art in public spaces interested him even before his studies. In addition to works on walls, which made him known as a graffiti artist, he always worked in other media. Various stays in Lebanon and South America influenced his style and expanded his artistic repertoire. |
