Interpreting abstract thought: Jon Drypnz at TEDxVUW

Jon Drypnz, based in Wellington, New Zealand, is an artist who specialises in wall paintings but also spends a great deal of time toiling in his studio. Describing his work as a form of "Abstract Surrealism", he brings his distinct imagery to Wellington and around the world. Jon Drypnz has been commissioned locally as well as abroad in Australia, the UK, Germany and further afield.

Jon talks about communicating his ideas through fresh and abstract forms as part of bringing his insight and unique perception of the world.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
