She used to be a comedian, he a graffiti writer. They met each other in the streets of St. Etienne (France) while doing paste-ups. Now isn’t that just lovely coincidence?

You can find his art on the walls of abandoned buildings, sometimes together with Centina, an artist we recently featured. His paintings are quite dark, something that extends in James’ sculptures which contain animal skeletons.

I say ‘graffiti’ because Rezine does a lot more than just Graffiti. You could describe his work as post-graffiti, or work that has derived from the French graffiti movement in the 90′s. Rezine isn’t afraid for any kind of medium; wall, paper, canvas, recycling art, volume, installations [...]]]> http://cfye.com/rezine-5110/feed 0 http://cfye.com/isaac-cordal-galicia-5089 http://cfye.com/isaac-cordal-galicia-5089#comments Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:36:21 +0000 Arden http://cfye.com/?p=5089 Street art sculptor Isaac Cordal continues to impress us with his Cement Eclipse series!
