SIDRON - A Street Artist From Athens


Sidron‘s illustrated gas masks on Athenian walls evoke an urban guerilla like ambiance. Along with the Jnor, Kapone and NDA crews, artists like Sidron have been around for a long time. They’ve always been underground. 
The gas mask has been incorporated into the popular iconography as a symbol of danger, war and pollution. As such, it is being used in street art, usually as an image that protests against these condition.

The KRAH – Greek street artist

The KRAH was born in the UK and raised in Athens.
He is a self taught artist that started drawing from a very young age.
In his teens he started painting in the streets of Athens. Doing his first murals with spray paint in 1997, he quickly became one of the most noted Greek street-Artists, not only in Greece, but internationally through his tours around Europe and Asian countries such as Japan and Thailand.
He started his working career doing murals, before moving on to illustrating magazines and books, and then working for advertising agencies. Later he moved on to working for fashion companies. It remains clear that his passion for street art underpinned all of his work and led him into creating work for galleries.
