ZERO

ZERO is a self-taught graffiti writer who has been practicing in the streets since 2008. With training in fine arts from MSU Baroda, ZERO has an interdisciplinary practice across murals, graffiti, typography and traditional letterforms digital and print media. As a founding member of the UFO crew, his graffiti practice evidenced his dedication to exploring new definitions of old-school styles, which in his experimental and site-specific work in India and abroad, gives way to a new vocabulary of South Asian styles of graffiti writing. In his murals, he takes inspiration from the scale of environmental elements and converges them in dynamic unexpected forms with diverse cultural narratives. 

His media installation practice includes works such as "TITLE" in KONA, and "Surfing" at the Mumbai Urban Art Festival, deftly playing with light, memory, pervasiveness of social media and contemporary desire.

He has come to be known for his 'throw-ups,' illustrating funky typography and traditional letterform hand-painted using a wide selection of bright and chromatic shades. Honing his skill as a graffiti artist, he has been painting and abstracting the alphabet Z-E-R-O and tagging them across the country.
