Saïd Kinos transforms language into a striking visual composition. In this painting, oversized letterforms overlap and interlock across a luminous silver ground, forming a dense, almost architectural structure. The words are only partly legible; their scale, rhythm and shifting shadows take over from reading. Against the restrained palette, vivid yellow-green marks bring a sharp, unexpected energy to the surface.

Working at the intersection of graffiti, graphic design and contemporary art, Kinos has developed a distinctive approach to what he calls post-typography. Here, language is both image and material: familiar forms are reconstructed until they move between communication and abstraction.

With a background in graffiti and graphic design, Saïd Kinos developed a fascination for typography and various forms of visual communication. He equates the visual experience with language with the functional aspect and is a great advocate of 'post-typography' as an art movement. More specifically, he uses language as a vehicle to explore form, colour and different artistic methods.

Saïd finds an element of abstraction in the subjective associations and differing contexts that can alter the reception of words and messages. Even though the words that can be read share a collective meaning, the mental image that arises when looking at his work will be different for everyone. The interpretation of his textual works are therefore similar to that of abstract art. He explores this element of abstraction through vibrant colour combinations and fragmented typography. Taking visual elements from anywhere he can find and recomposing them in a way to make them his own, Saïd creates his own reconstructed versions of reality

Saïd is fascinated by the ways in which people communicate through language, symbols and changing technologies. The high speed in which information is presented to us, and with it the transience of our modern forms of communication, is a common denominator in all his work. Meanwhile, subjective associations and differing contexts can alter the reception of words and messages. In this, Saïd finds an element of abstraction which he explores through high-contrast, vibrant colour combinations and fragmented typography. Taking visual elements from anywhere he can find and recomposing them in a way to make them his own, Saïd creates his own reconstructed versions of reality through paintings, installations, and large (public) murals.
