ROID - (MSK) Street Art of innovation: high technical skills required!

ROID, a graffiti and street-art artist from Bristol (GB), was born in 1982.

After a decade-long campaign of street and subway wall adorning graffiti that has garnered recognition from his homeland in the UK to collaborative art exhibits in California, ROID has finally begun a push for the demanding world of fine art. At the ripe young age of 29, the emerging street artist cultivated a reputation for his own distinct style surrounding boundary-pushing innovations and uber-technical murals. Having spent much of the last decade gaining the attention of graffiti lovers and of course the transit police, ROID joined the ranks of American street art crew MSK in 2008, the same year he graduated from London’s Camberwell College of Art. Since then, the contemporary illustrator made his art world debut alongside Revok and Rime at the Known Gallery in 2011, earning himself a nod from Forbes magazine in an article on “The 30 Most Important Artists and Designers under 30.”

DREYK The Pirate: A Unique Graffiti Artist from Athens

Dreyk started painting the streets of Athens 13 years ago in his early teens. A few years later, he started forming his ever recognizable sea-themed style. Influenced by his studies in design, amongst other things, he evolved to a more clean cut-thick stroke style as years went by. Why the sea? Well, almost all greeks have a deep love for the sea and travel, and Dreyk is no exception. In his case though, as it usually happens, it all started by accident. Painting his first pirate on a wall many years ago, people started calling him “pirate”, a fact that helped him find his own identity in street art.

Often using only blue and white paint, Dreyk creates a beautiful intersection of greek tradition and contemporary creativity, inviting athenians passing by to his dream world, directly evoking emotions of innocence and restlessness – ultimately stating that life, love, Athens – it’s all beautiful, it’s all simple. These virtues are thriving not only in Dreyk’s graffiti work, but in his work as an illustrator / visual designer as well. Indeed, even though he has managed to become well known from a very early age (working as a graffiti artist for athenian clubs and hotels), he prefers to remain a “pirate” as far as graffiti is concerned. It’s a part of him that will always be his hobby and not his profession – he makes his living working successfully in the publishing field.

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.

DALE GRIMSHAW – The lowest of the low

Regarded by his graffiti and street art peers as the lowest of the low – an art school boy with no place on ‘The Street’ – Dale Grimshaw is anything but, as he disproves his naysayers and negative commentators by producing some of the most unique and inspired urban decorations since Banksy first appeared on the art world’s radar.

Originating from the infamous East London scene, Grimshaw’s impressive woodcut prints and paste-ups have gained the attention of graffiti and art commentators worldwide. Formally trained as a fine art painter, Grimshaw was heavily influenced during his tuition by the New York art scene, and as a result developed his now signature graphic style.

His unique technique perfectly transitioned from canvasses to woodcut printed paste-ups, which saw him evolve in reverse to most street artists: from private galleries to public walls. Often focussing on personal or social commentary, each piece has its own clear energy and intent, distributed by his aggressive approach and fractured style that imbues each painting with its own sense of emotion and feeling.

In his childhood, he had participated of many contests and had also won many cultural awards. When 13 years old he had his first contact with the spray, which opened his eyes for new tecniques and consequently new experiences and mixtures with china ink, latex, pastel and acrylic.
Everything generates the chaos, since the mixture of outlooks and feelings to the materials and medias utilized. The revolt by the human sorrow, the beauty of life, the city’s disarray, the neglect and the surroundings, all this things transposed and influencing the works of this artist, who evolved with all his feelings focused in the street art. L7M, how he’s known, is identified by the simplicity of colors and free geometry relacionated to several issues, causing contradictories and unconfortable feelings in the observers. This is his purpose: bother and inquire by traces and colors reverted in imagistic feelings. Surely his purpose.
Actually, L7M is dedicated to independent work in advertising agencies, exhibitions and workshops at enterprises, cultural centers and schools, conciliating with the urban art freely practiced.
