New2 is an Australian artist known as one of the first graffiti writers to emerge from the Australian train writing scene in the early 80s. He is also one of the artists who founded the DMA crew (short for Da Mad Artists), a group that shortly became very prominent on the Australian graffiti scene, and that is active and successful to this day. Although New2 still writes on walls, over the years he started exploring other areas of his artistic expression, namely collage, wooden sculptures and ceramics.
The recent works of the Australian artist include elaborated, hand-cut paper collages, where he manages to recreate his writings on streets and trains from his fruitful 30-year-long career. New2 merges the two different aspects of artistic creation: the experience and simultaneously possessing the old and new. His futuristic lettering delves into the diametrically different notions such as belief and fact, religion and science, drawing from both ends of the spectrum. He juxtaposes these opposite outlooks on the same event.
