It’s Worse than you Think — the title is a statement in itself. Kende uses language as a visual medium: the phrase does not comment on the work, it inhabits it. Mixed media on wood, 160 × 180 cm, 2009.

A vertical format that dominates the wall with a commanding presence. The surface is built up in layers — like city walls that are constantly being rewritten, layer upon layer, erasure upon erasure. The work carries with it the visual density of an urban language brought indoors: not decoration, not illustration. Presence.

Among the most significant works in the catalogue in terms of their place in the artist’s career. For private collectors, high-end interior designers and architectural firms seeking contemporary Italian art with a documented history within the European calligraffiti and graffiti scene.
