Geometrical Rope Graffiti
Description illusionscene360
The outdoor art interventions of Moneyless.
Notes about the artist [1]:
“I [Moneyless] spent ages doing graffiti, painting trains in yards and covering with color every surface, putting my name everywhere. Then I got to a stage where that approach to me looked like leading to an exaggerate proximity with advertisement. But the world was flooded by it.
It was a nonsense for me to keep on adding chaos to chaos”. The chaos of the concrete jungle. Graffiti has been and is an essential element on which the artist’s attitude lays its foundations. It’s something that has been Moneyless’ life companion since he was 13 and it still is. But leaving behind the burden of fat caps and throw ups, the artist started to sublimate his graffiti, a process made by conceptual subtraction and material removal, that led him literally to strip the flesh from his body of writing. Even if he was still tagging Moneyless, yet developing a geometrical style, he felt like the tag lost its interest and it was pointless for him to push a name. What he’d been doing for years was to him like running into a dead end: “I wanted to push concepts through my work, something that could go beyond”.

Flight 101: Reverse Graffiti Hits the Streets of South Africa!
Description inhabitat
We’ve profiled Dutch Ink, a group of inventive artists from South Africa, before, and now we’ve gotten word of their latest reverse graffiti exhibit. Called “Flight 101,” the “clean tags” are created by scrubbing dirty walls with steel brushes and depict birds in flight in an area of the country well-known for its biodiversity. The birds are etched into the Umgeni road interchange that spans a section of the Umgeni river in KwaZulu Natal. This is the latest in a series of clean graffiti pieces throughout the region that has perplexed local authorities tasked with managing “fringe” urban art projects.
JP Jordaan, Nick Ferreira, Stathi Kougianos and Martin Pace are all Vega graduates, a brand communication school in South Africa. The group’s surprising and thought-evoking eco art is designed to draw attention to our ever-increasing alienation from nature.
Instead of painting new images on degraded municipal walls and other infrastructure, the group enhances them with clean, temporary graffiti. While tagging is technically illegal, authorities are battling to pin down how exactly these “urban vandals” are doing harm.

The art of Hush combines traditional painting with street tagging.
Notes about the artist (from “Intro” published at New Image Art gallery):
Having originally trained as a graphic designer and illustrator at Newcastle School of Art and Design, Hush’s art practice has taken him throughout Asia, Europe and the USA, while simultaneously developing his prominence as a contemporary artist. His immersion in a diversity of cultures has informed his work largely recognized for its portrayal of the amaranthine of the female form while infusing cross-cultural influences and variant genres within contemporary art. A distinguishing facet of Hush’s work is the complexity of his technique that combines various street approaches with traditional art practices. Through the use of opposing themes and aesthetics, the artist presents contemporary depictions of traditional portrait and figurative imagery.
Absorbing cultural and visual influences from his extensive travels, Hush found a striking connection to the mark making, tagging and graffiti he had encountered along the way. He observed each ephemeral mark as evidence of another’s action or creative expression, despite its gradual degradation over time. He found the remnants of previous marks left on the ever-changing street surfaces to be progressive where accidental layering often evolved into something beautiful. […]

Krink x G-shock. “Spray Paint the Walls”
On Friday April 8th, G-Shock & Krink celebrated their recent partnership with a unique exhibition of Craig Costello’s work — “Spray Paint the Walls”
The signature Krink G-Shock watch, the DW6900KR-8, was on display alongside Costello’s artwork, an abstraction inspired by his history of working with urban environments and architecture. Costello sprayed gallons of paint onto the walls filling the white space with bold color from the ceiling to the floor, the diluted-paint dripping down in vertical lines forming a pattern. The color and shapes have an organic feel that contrast with the hard lines and shapes of the urban environment. Other walls featured small framed monochrome drawings created using Krink on paper and displayed a vibrant range of color.
For the private event held in downtown NYC, Brooklyn based duo CREEP and New York’s twin-sirens Nina Sky entertained an influential downtown crowd of artists and designers. Art, music, and drinks. Good Times!
Thanks to everyone who came out!

Moss Invaders
Description likecool
“Moss Invaders” is a project, when someone touches one of the Moss Invaders on the wall, then playing 8-bit sounds. The project by Marko Manriquez and Kimi Spencer.
User Scenario
The visitor chooses reflect upon the moss mural and then on closer inspection touches the moss. The moss responds by playing a sound. This prompts the visitor to touch different parts of the moss. Different visitors standing around listen or start playing different parts of the mural in concert.
Implementation
Moss invaders comprises a living graffiti mural and a capacitive sound installation into one piece. The moss mural is made using laser cut stencils to mold a moss milkshake concoction of our own devising. The moss paste is “painted” onto the stencils to grow directly onto the brick wall surface. The sound installation aspect takes the moss invaders into the intergalactic realm. Each moss pad is a capacitive sensor which plays 8-bit musical sounds when touched.

Graffiti with the use of Props
Description illusionscene360
Street artist Michael Aaron Williams has a unique graffiti style that includes the use of props such as flowers, paper airplanes, toy sail boats, and more.
Notes from the artist’s statement:
Some of the pieces I create are made for a gallery and some for the street in which the placement is necessary to add to the thematic meaning of the piece. Making something that has its own natural lifespan is very interesting to me. Because the paintings are of people on the street I also put them on the street where they are exposed to that which can destroy them. I want the pieces to have hope, so I dont glue them to the wall I simply tape them so that the viewer can take them down and hopefully take them home. So when the pictures are left up and if no one takes them they will cease to exist. They will be destroyed and blown away in the wind or other forces that will rip them down and throw them away. However, when people take home the pieces from the street. It is symbolic of how Christ has saved me. Without Him I would still be on the street. I would still be exposed to the wind, rain, and people that would tear me down. So, the meaning of the pieces on the street is not found in the pieces themselves. Rather, what the pieces are exposed to and see. What they experience and where they will end up, on the streets or in the hands of someone who has taken them home and put them up on there wall, as a prize and as a wanted piece of there home.
