La MOUCHE - Organic Street Art from France

 

After six months of training in decoration painting, our ‘bug’ was then able to work some of these techniques: relief, trompe-l’œil and to create effects of carried shadows and light. He also learned techniques about perspective, false wood, stucco or even the panoramic technique… But the virus about sprays was really transmitted from his two mates Gnome and Twine from, ‘the HVA crew’. 

La Mouche – ‘The Fly’ in French – likes sketching, but he often gets his work done and inspiration from his own intuition and ‘brain pulse’ : this is how most of his colourful bugs and masterpieces came to life… still with some inspiration from the artist Korail.

In order to get inspiration, this ‘bug / street artist’ doesn’t hesitate to fly around the world – England and presently South America – with his friend Mozart.

BINHO - Pioneer of Brazilian Graffiti

Fabio Ribeiro, better known as Binho, is one of the pioneers of graffiti in Brazil and South America.

When he started painting in 1984 he was a b-boy (breakdancer) and skater; it was natural for him to express himself through graffiti. He learned drawing and painting techniques and in school when he was 12 and he started seeing classic graffiti.

The artist conquest respect wherever he goes: San Thiago, Buenos Aires, Nagoya, Tokyo, Osaka, Los Angeles, and almost all Brazilian states have been the scene of his talent. He develops a singular appeal of expression, giving life to all elements of its creation. No wonder that his bold style illustrated Nescau packaging, advertising campaigns from Ford, Brazil Telecom, Motorola, Red Bull, Nestle, Nike, Skol, Ecko, Guarana Antarctica, Sony, Colorgin, Bob Burniquist, among other Spoleto.

DJALOUZ - A French 'Street Arter' in 3D

This French artist developed his style with the intention of departing from the (usual) scope. He's inspired by Arabic and Asian calligraphy. He composes with harmony between forms and places; the wall, the floor, corners and cracks. He likes to break the lines and goes beyond the simple mural, playing with the environment that surrounds his graffiti. Material waste, damaged; he will adapt differently each time according to the inspiration he have at the moment. He have a very photographic vision before he starts painting. He tries to use colours that go with the environment and he wants to put in volume what he chalks as a sculpture so that his forms take up space in places where they pose. He loves the letters but he doesn't quite master them so he prefers the abstract forms that are inspired by these places. This is why he always improvises. He never sketched in advanced!

When he started out the shape of his work was very round and organic. After a while he tried putting more volume to the forms to give the impression that his graffiti was really popping out of the wall. He has been working his graffiti around walls and on the ground since 2007.

BRUSK - STREET ART FROM FRANCE

His style developed over the years, combines a calligraphic work in 3D, characters and staging.

Street Artist SHAKA’s Amazing 3D Graffiti Art

The French street artist Shaka aka Marchal Mithouard is just full of talent. From quite incredible relief paintings on canvas to graffiti, Shaka incorporates a unique 3D style in his works. Awesome

It uses a process that allows him to sculpt directly onto the canvas. His theatrical scenes beyond the literal space of the work to create a bridge to the place where we are. The characters challenge us by their behavior often exacerbated. Faces are fragmented, ribbed, made of abstract shapes or figurative tending to complicate or to codify their behavior, giving the impression that they wear a mask. This show is a static call the meeting to deal with nonsense reflection of our way of being in everyday life.
