Pharaoh Sol - Sol Nte - Bog

"Pharaoh Sol : 10 years on the run from everyday life" is a selection of images, clothing designs and sketchbook pages from Sol Nte's 3 year residency in Brussels, Belgium from 2015 - 2018. The title is derived from May 2017 marking the 10 year anniversary of Sol Nte quitting his 9-5 office job in academia to pursue a more creative life as an artist. The graphic art and fashion design contained in this book was developed for, and alongside, his Pharaoh Sol music project; a blend of space jazz, avant-garde experimentalism and noise/industrial music. This book will appeal to fans of graphic art in the context of cult music and streetwear such as The Boredoms , Sonic Youth , Damien Hirst , Supreme , Jeff Koons , Sun Ra , Richard Brautigan etc.

Sol Nte has been making art, music, and words for the "no-audience underground" since the late eighties. With the exception of being included in a handful of exhibitions, dalliances with Fluxus in the nineties, and an extremely modest streaming revenue for his Pharaoh Sol free jazz albums, he is a refreshingly obscure unknown artist.
