About Block N
Block N is an independent studio for graphics and visual communication founded by Niklas Block in 2016. Initially starting as a freelancer, Niklas worked as a designer and artist for various companies such as Dummy Verlag and Monopol, along with numerous brand design projects. Over time, his focus shifted exclusively to producing paintings, prints and design books and exploring the depths of design.
Since 2020, his work has evolved into a diverse range of artistic outcomes, including mixed media collages using materials like crayons, chalk, ink, ballpoint pens, pencil, acrylics, and spray cans, as well as oil paintings. His background in print design is evident through his ongoing passion for experimenting with different printing techniques, such as silk screen printing, risography and pen-plotting.
