Studio17 Residency is excited to have artists Anel & Fenok to Stavanger this season!
Engaging with diverse artistic practices—ranging from murals and installations to set design and illustration—both artists are also involved in Nowstalgism, a project exploring the connection between past and present.

Anel
Anel is a multidisciplinary artist who's been deeply influenced by graffiti practices since 2008, a foundation that continues to inform their artistic references. Their primary research focuses on the interplay between written and visual languages. The artist incorporates a diverse range of textual elements, including movie quotes, poetry, and lyrics from hip-hop, folk, and traditional music, into their figurative drawings, sculptures, paintings, and installations. The goal is to create novel compositions where words surpass their conventional meanings, and the visual impact transcends that of images devoid of text. Humor and puns are frequently employed within their artwork.
The artist's experience includes participation in numerous artist residencies, mural festivals, and exhibitions both in Greece and internationally, with notable appearances at events such as the IBUG Festival and the Biennale of Young Artists in Athens, Greece.
Since 2023, they have launched their own clothing brand, ONE UP TWO DOWN, which frequently collaborates with other artists. They also organize a graffiti festival in Greece and served as a co-organizer for Nowstalgism 2024 in Fanari Karditsa.
Beyond their artistic practice, the artist enjoys cinema, wines, beers, food, music, hiking, sports, and the company of good friends.

Fenok
Fenok was born in 1998 in Karditsa, Greece. He studied Painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts, School of Visual and Applied Arts, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (2016–2021). A distinctive feature of his work is the use of blue colour, which has become his artistic hallmark.His artistic practice includes mostly pen drawings on paper and murals on abandoned buildings in villages at the Greek countryside.He has participated in festivals and group exhibitions, showcasing his work in various art venues. His pieces are part of private collections in Greece and abroad. He is the organizer and curator of the “Nowstalgism” project, held in Fanari Karditsa, Greecewhich explores the connection between the past and the present.
As for the blue drawings, their style, simplicity and detail, which evoke a close,
private and silent relationship, we recognize elements oftradition, we feel the aura of the Greek countryside.
