Fin DAC’s Female Stencil Art Series

My mate, London-based stencil artist Fin DAC recently came up with a new female stencil art series, what’s a great excuse for me to feature Fin and his awesome works again! In a short career, I have defined and perfected a paint style that ignores the accepted visual language of street art… I call it Urban Aesthetics - a modern-day take on the 19th century art movement. During his relatively short career, Fin DAC was able (after hailing from Ireland) to define and perfect a certain stencil art style, that - influenced by fashion, female bodies and a somehow free-hand style - ignores the accepted visual language of street art and creates in my eyes a new, unique stencil art style. Fin DAC’s female stencil artworks combine a hand-cut single-layer stencil with freehand spitting, acrylic and Montana Gold spray paint. They bring together quality stencil techniques with Asian aesthetics and culture and become in that way one of the best stencil series I’ve seen so far! ...

Recently Fin published some first impressions of one of his murals and arouse in that way a burst of enthusiasm, for what reason I don’t want to withhold those photos from you! I met FinDAC first during my London-trip last year and was quite surprised when I got to know that I is - with good reason - a well-known stencil artist on the Isles, because I haven’t heard of him before. His mainly Asian-inspired stencil motives are characterized by really detailed handwork, sparkling shadows, complex patterns and a good pinch of freehand spray-painting - his brilliant Jimi Hendrix stencil artworks are good examples! ...
