The UK scene is amazing right now, there’s so much talent coming from there..it’s mindblowing. Also, in some areas like Bristol, the general attitude towards street art seemed to have shifted and people start to appreciate it a lot more. Things like the Banksy expo in the Bristol Museum and events like Upfest seemed to be the turning point. Of course this wouldn’t have been possible without the massive amount of talented artists rising up in the UK scene right now. And even though…Read More »
Crack For Your Eyes | Street art & Graffiti
It must not have been easy to get permission for ten massive walls to be painted. It must especially not have been easy to do so when it is normally being seen as vandalism. The people behind Caramundo got the permission and the results are to be seen in and near the city centre of Rotterdam. As part of R.U.A. Festival, street artists from Brazil were invited to show and paint their work on these walls and did so during July and August. Rua…Read More »
Jeremy Gibbs aka Romanywg is one of those people that his all over the place. In the punk era he started carrying a camera (busy on making a book on that) went on to be a film director, made custom vinyl toys and nowadays he has found his home in the urbex and street art scene. I think the only possible question can be: why didn’t we interview him before? You’re everywhere! Film director, making a book, urbex/street art photographer, wife, kids, dog. How do…Read More »
Even though there is an ocean of graffiti and street artists out there, it seems like real talent always finds a way to the surface. In past articles we have already told you quite a bit about French graffiti / street artist Liliwenn. Her works, consisting out of touching illustrations to powerfull graffiti portraits, have a very strong identity. Every paint splatter is like a signature. We just know Liliwenn is one of the artists who is in it for the long run. Better…Read More »
It must have been a little over a year ago when Chris Guemy, aka C215, drew my attention. It was on the streets of Barcelona where I first laid eyes on his work, and honestly it stopped me dead in my tracks. Even in a city like Barcelona, which is filled with pieces, installations, stickers and stencils this work stood out clearly. A week later I found more of his work, freshly painted in Amsterdam and the fascination with this Parisian artist was complete….Read More »
Since we’ve discovered the accounts and websites of the French Graffiti photographers Photograff Collectif (PGC) I have been a fan of Dja’Louz. This Parisian Graffiti artist has a crazy wild-style and an amazing sense of placement. Like I often say, placement is key in creating an interesting piece! If you speak / read French (or know how to use Google Translate), it is well worth to have a look at the interview the Photograff Collectif did with…Read More »
Not too long ago we came across a digitalized blackbook of one of the biggest Dutch graff legends: COSH. Honestly, we haven’t been so excited in a while! COSH is well known for his awesome characters and was among the first to take Dutch graffiti to the next level. It’s easy to forget the old-school but seeing that black book makes you remember where it all came from. Nowadays, COSH is a freelance designer/illustrator, animator, electro music producer, he makes sculpters and in other…Read More »
Not too long ago we came across the works of Priest. Priest is from Alabama..now I know what you’re thinking but NO he does not wear a big white cap in the weekend, nor does he miss much teeth and dates his sister. Actualy, Priest knows exactly how to present himself right. Not that he needs to, because his works speaks before him. I’m guessing we’ll hear a lot more from Priest, but let’s start out with SPAM! on cfye. Where are you from, and…Read More »
Not too long ago, the good people from Untitled street art gave us the heads up about working on a new book: Untitled II, the beautiful renaissance. Seeing we didn’t knew the first book yet, these kind people send us a complimentary copy of Untitled I – Street art in the counter culture. This week it finally came in, and we were more than surprised about the amazing quality of this book. Only fair if we give you lot a small taste.
It’s…Read More »
Some people catch your eyes quicker than others. I can not recall when I first heard about the in Ireland born Finbarr Notte (aka Finbarr DAC). It was probably via the infamous photo community site called Flickr, where almost every self respected urban artist is exhibiting his/her work. I do, however, remember when I first saw the man at work. It was at the Wonderland Collective show at London’s Light Bar earlier this year. I guess I can say that I was more than…Read More »
