Abstract 'Street Arting' by KEF




Born in Aachen, Germany in 1989, KEF is working his way up with his one-of–a-kind street-art paintings and abstract works.
In his youth he painted traditional graffiti – which became to monotone for him after discovering street art. In 2005 KEF developed two very unique characters with which he invaded the European street art scene. In 2009 KEF transformed his two characters into more abstract figures – which he then painted onto a variety of different surfaces or as large scale murals.

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.

ORTICANOODLES: God Bless Stencil



Orticanoodles is the pseudonym for two Italian artists, a very active and tight-knit duo, composed of Wally and Alita.

Wally was born in Carrara, where he attended Art School and in 1996 he moved to Milan to attend the course in Advertising Art Direction at IED (European Institute of Design). Here in Milan, he met Alita.  Both in love of the stencil technique, they began to create drawings and handmade posters, quickly making themselves known in the street-art world.

In 2004, they start their first illegal actions in the street, stickering and pasting up posters. In their laboratory, situated in the Ortica district in Milan, Orticanoodles logos took shape. With the subversive power of Zibe, Orticanoodles started a blazing activity in the streets, soon evolving into a real urban guerrilla campaign.

BELGIAN GHOST TOWN Becomes Street Artist’s Playground


The 700 year old Belgian town of Doel has become a ghost town. Other than some squatters and a handful of diehard citizens, the town is uninhabited and will be demolished. Doel didn’t become this way because of any typical reasons like lack of employment, rather the government has ordered the citizens to vacate their beloved town in order to make room for the expansion of nearby Antwerp harbor.

Since the forced departing of its residents the town has become something special – a blank canvas to street artists from across Europe, who have left their beautiful creations on the bricks and rubble of its abandoned buildings.
