Not too long ago I got in touch with the Amazing Lee Bofkin, founder of Global Street Art. Lee has travelled half this globe and took pictures of every piece of graffiti and street art he could find out there. He has a database with 10.000′s of street art pictures from Rio de Janeiro to Sydney and is kind enough to share some of those masterpieces with us every once in a while!

The amazing Alice Pasquini has been awing us since we first laid eyes on her works. The Italian artist has a strong style with clear topics; everyday life with a focus on femininity. It only has been a year or so since we’ve heard from her but it seems like her work skyrocketed both on and offline. Since a few days Alice opened a new solo show in the 999 contemporary gallery in Rome called ‘Cinderella pissed me off’, a title perfectly fitting Alice…Read More »
At times you just don’t have enough information in one picture. Canadian photographer / painter Jonathan Dy must have thought so as he found out new ways to incorporate information into his photographs in form of multi-flash and reflection pictures. Of course, both techniques aren’t new but the way Jonathan has perfected them is impressive, to say the least!
I was born in Windsor, ON where I went to school for painting. In 2005 I moved to Vancouver, BC and taught myself how to use…Read More »
Conceptual / documentary photographer Anne Barlinckhoff is a young, raw and energetic talent based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. For her latest series she worked together with one of my favourite and most elusive street artists in Amsterdam: Laser 3.14. The poetic writings of Laser are to be found all over the city and his solo-shows never cease to amaze. But even though he’s very present in Amsterdam, few get to know Laser’s true face. This forces most people to form their opinion sole over…Read More »
World-citizen and international street-artist Above never fails to get our attention. Over the years we came to learn that Above is far more than the arrow pointing upwards; he also points his arrows at the crazy mishaps taking place on this globe, and on a global scale. During his current stay in South-Africa he has made a point on blood-diamonds… and how! He hijacked a 100 meter wall from a diamond trading centre telling them he’d paint the phrase ‘Diamond are a woman’s best…Read More »
Berlin based, French bred graffiti artist MTO has published an old series in the lights of the French elections of 2012. These paintings that should’ve been part of a larger series never saw the light of day due to a collaboration halt. The topics are as relevant as ever though. Police brutality against Roma’s is not unheard of in France, and actually has been an active target point of Amnesty international. The stigmatisation of the Roma and travellers (Gens du Voyage) has only gotten…Read More »
You have to love today’s generation. Growing up with daily site hacks and ddos attacks by anon and other groups, we all know we can take matters into our own hands with ease. So why not apply this to real-time situations and our urban environment? That’s what Florian Riviere must’ve thought when he first started altering our environment. Inspired by hackers and video-games Florian reinvests in the streets and reclaims the urban environment. With a combination of DIY and upcycling (upgrading waste) he always…Read More »
When I first saw this series of Corinne Vionnet I thought it was consisted by paintings. It was a big surprise when, checking more carefully, I found out that these incredible images are, in reality, photographs. This fact changed my whole perception of the work, bringing me ideas of how we can be affected by places. In this case, touristic places. Vionnet used the photographic technique to make us think, artistically.
Why are we fascinated by these sites? Is it because they are really enchanting…Read More »

Christian Guemy aka C215 never fails to impress with his new leaps through art. His newest exhibition, ‘Prophets’ takes place in a sacred 17th century Parisian church: Saint-Louis de la Salpétrière. In his own words the show calls for ‘religious tolerance and oecumenism (a movement promoting union between religions)’. But it’s not the message that is exciting to me; it’s the work and the location that take it to the next level. The way that Christian has transformed his work into…Read More »
