Stencil

Category: Street Art by fatcap @ 2:47 am

A stencil is a template used to draw or paint identical letters, symbols, shapes, or characters every time it is used. Stencil technique in visual art is also referred to as pochoir. Stencils are formed by removing sections from template material in the form of text or an image. This creates what is essentially a physical negative. Stencils have also become popular for graffiti, since stencil art using spray-paint can be produced quickly and easily.

A Graffiti can be beautiful, but when the photography of this graffiti is also amazing… you get a double masterpiece!

Graffiti and photography

NoGraffiti is a research and a photographic documentation project on the Street Art movement of the beginning of our century:
“The expansion in the first world of Hip-Hop graffiti or TTP graffiti (Tag, Throw-up, Graffiti Piece) in the 80’s, coincided with the “NYC street art movement” of Haring and Basquiat, and the French “figuration livre”, with street artists such as Blek or Mesnager, both of which continued various artistic manifestations with the street as a medium (D.Buren, J.Holzer, Christo, etc.). The 90’s saw the evolution of post-graffiti or street art as an enriched development of TTP that used new media (poster, stencil, sticker, brush) and was influenced by other references (subvertism, graphic design, modern art). Even though the majority of the artists came from TTP and maintained the concept of bombing, the typographic obsession gave way to iconism (where a character or object was repeated in different situations and formats), stencilism (often of a political nature) and to various forms of subvertising and sign subversion.”

Jean Michel Basquiat

Category: Street Art by fatcap @ 9:38 am

Jean-Michel Basquiat was an American artist who came to personify the art scene of the 80s,with its merging of youth culture, money, hype, excess, and self-destruction. He gained popularity, first as a graffiti artist in New York City, and then as a successful 1980s-era Neo-expressionist artist like Keith Haring. Basquiat’s paintings continue to influence modern day artists and command high prices. His one of the father of Street art : More biography

Keith Haring

Category: Street Art by fatcap @ 11:05 am

Keith Haring was an artist and social activist whose work responded to the New York City street culture of the 1980s.

He was born in Reading, Pennsylvania but grew up in Kutztown and was interested in art from an early age. He developed a love for drawing at a very early age, learning basic cartooning skills from his father and from the popular culture around him, such as Dr. Seuss and Walt Disney. After his studies, Keith moved to New York City, where he was greatly inspired by the graffiti art. Indeed, in New York, Haring found a thriving alternative art community that was developing outside the gallery and museum system, in the downtown streets, the subways and spaces in clubs and former dance halls. Here he became friends with fellow artists Kenny Scharf and Jean-Michel Basquiat, as well as the musicians, performance artists and graffiti writers that comprised the burgeoning art community.

In the summer of 1980 he took up drawing, inventing intricate cartoon-style murals of mutant figures locked in hyper-physical engagement. He was a meteoric star in American art during the 1980s, exhibiting and working on projects throughout the USA, Europe and Asia, and his work became a symbol of the tribal undercurrents that permeate metropolitan life.
He’s one of the father of street art.
