This was the first time that the artist had stepped away from his usual black outlines over crisp white backgrounds, instead deciding to use fluorescent paint on a black base and lit the space with UV, taking his art to a new dimension.

This unique event saw Vides create an alternative reality in the space, outlining an idea of windows, doorways and further rooms that were not there in reality, but instead all depicted using his iconic graphic lines.

Reality to Idea opened on Friday 22nd of June 2018 with an exclusive launch evening, before being opened all weekend to the enthusiastic visitors.

A limited run of tee-shirts was presented exclusively at Nous during the after party.
