Nychos The Weird

images of complete carnage flickering infront of your eyes ,cold sweat and the fear of dying caused by dreaming too fast, enters your mind. You sit in bed and wonder what the fuck is going in your head. All this happened to Nychos at the age of fifteen . His mind started to go crazy mostly while he was sleeping.
 Obviously dreams are reflected memories, but why are they so crazy
 and horrifying? Lets go 10 years back. Nychos grew up in a little village near Graz (Styria,South of Austria). He calls it the green hell. Born into an Austrian hunters family, he saw, at a very young age, things which normal people would consider as cruel and brutal. He quickly got used to death and any other brutalities of nature.His mind never took it as something disgusting. Rather he started to see some beauty in those ugly things. One day. when he was about six he found a little dead baby lamb under a trashcan. First he was shocked as he saw that cute but dead little animal. Something was weird about it. when he looked closer he realized that half the body was eaten up by maggots which had the same colour as the lambs fur. Crawling and moving pretty fast, they were covered up by the trashcan and didnt like the light. Suddenly he wasnt shocked anymore and enjoyed looking at one life growing on another past life. At the age of seven he was bitten by a wild boar when he was playing in the forest close to his home. Not much later he had boarmeat for lunch.This fact was very interesting to him.Watching his father pulling guts out of a dead wild animal was daily business so he started to get inspired by the anatomy of all kind of creatures.
He's also a kid of the 80s, so he is from the generation of kids getting raised by the TV. Watching cartoons was one of the most important things to him. He was always an observer of things and always very visual, but at one point his mind started to go crazy.
 At the age of nineteen those "dreams" turned into epileptic fits followed by car accidents and nine months of EEG and CT-tests. The doctors couldn't tell him what it was cause he didn't show symptoms of an epileptic. After he worked out more or less (by himself) what was going on, he found the way he had to go. Nychos mentions the encounter with the white rabbit waking him up after one of those mental dreams again covered in sweat. The Rabbit told him something which led him back to a cartoon he saw when he was seven and he already forgot. "Watership Down". A cartoon way too brutal for young kids. Nychos saw clear and moved on to fullfill his destiny he was born for, he understood that he had to follow the white rabbit . Those dreams finally started to make some sense.His ideas were always there.,they just needed to get out . And so he started to draw. When we asked Nychos why this sounds similar to the story of the movie "DONNIE DARKO" he answerd that couldnt believe what he was watching.he knows his story is much older then this movie and he understands that hes not alone with this phenomenon. After doing some research about the movie he worked out that it has the same origin. "watership down". Couple of years later he started the graffiti / streetart project "RABBIT EYE MOVEMENT" .The rabbit eye movement is just a little part in his creative universe but a very important one for his whole development as an artist. It nourishes the idea notion of creative destruction and the breakdown of society. “The rabbits operate outside of our system,” says Nychos, “and have no rules to follow. They just have to be smart cause the whole world is their enemy.They appear whenever and wherever they want to ,hit and disappear". Being a Rabbit, Nychos sees similarities to the any underground movement especially the the urban art movement. Still unstoppable and led by the rabbit, Nychos often collaborates with the world's most accomplished painters, making him one of the most noticeable breakout artists from the Austrian scene. In 2011 he teamed up with several "Urban Illustrators" who all have a kind of unique and weird style. Dxtr, HrvB,Cone ,Vidam ,Look,Frau Isa,Rookie,The LowBrows and Nychos are "THE WEIRD"
 Watch them in 2012 cause they will go nuts! at least until the final battle between heaven and hell approaches.
