Synopsis

The volume "The Sessions" by creative couple Native and ZenTwO for the Drago book series "36 Chambers" collects the results of their drawing sessions, completely influenced by all the cultural components experienced over the years, all over the world. The outcome is a statement of "clash of civilization".

The aim is to cancel the distance between cultures and lead them to know each other, discovering new affinities.

The overcoming of boundaries is evoked in the making of the book, where the artists melted their drawing styles, visions, ideas, using the Arabic calligraphy as a bridge for visual interaction. Their research, sometimes esthetical, other times expresses radical statements, raw emotions or a subversive cultural comment.

So, diversity is not seen as a limit, but an input to dialogue. And a hand tended, from the heart of the banlieau, to the new president Sarkozy.

About the Author

Born in Munich in 1981, half Austrian and half French, ZenTwO was raised between the Middle East and Europe. His partner in crime, Native, was born in Nigeria, studied Arabic graffiti in Egypt and has been based in both Paris and New York. This unlikely and exotic mixture led to the development of their unique iconography that combines calligraphy, illustration, and dynamic paint drips.
