From now until September 1, 2019, Umami restaurant will be showcasing inspiring graffiti art paintings created by emerging Belgian-American artist – Nic Van Varenberg (VLaD).
Although he calls himself apolitical, Nic’s works offer a vivid depiction, and veiled criticism, of 21st century youth’s obsession with hedonism: the relentless quest for money grabbing and fame, the casual use of performance-enhancing and recreational substances, self-medication, ego casting on social media, video game addiction, etc.
