FAILE - Pioneer in Contemporary Street Art

Faile, the Street Art duo comprised of Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller (American, b.1975; b.1976) formed their Brooklyn-based multimedia collaborative in 1999. They have conjured a wide array of works over the years, using original iconography and appropriating images from mass media. Faile began covering building exteriors with pioneering techniques in wheatpasting and stenciling, before expanding their repertoire to paintings, collage, prints, and sculpture.

Their works draw inspiration from comic books, pulp fiction novels and even Yellow Pages adverts. There are however a number of concepts which underlie Faile’s gritty pop culture graphics, most notably of these is dualism. “There has always been an attempt to embrace the idea of duality in our work. Love/Hate, Peace/War, Violence/Beauty. This has a distinct place in the world we live and can always be felt as a constant push and pull”. - Miller

DAVID FLORES - Stained Glass' Street Art

David Flores was born in Tulare, California. After graduation (Graphic design) he began his career as a commercial artist in the skateboarding industry.

David Flores, a LA-based artist who’s best known for a unique style (mosaic or segmented style) that embellishes another work of art rather than painting over it.
Flores is known for reworking iconography in a new and different way; thus giving the original image a completely postmodern aesthetic.  He layered his colorful renderings over the large scale photographs in such a way that the original piece still kept its essence. The end result was an postmodern mixture of two very different styles.
