Abstract Graffiti: Graphic Surgery in Dresden
After that phenomenal collaboration with Nawer in Krakow, the Amsterdam-based urban art duo Graphic Surgery just finished a new mural!
Located in Dresden, Germany, the 25 meters high wall has been painted as a part of the CityBilder project, which recently took place in town and also includes urban artworks by Frm & Otecki, Moneyless, Saddo, Jens Besser and others. The finished mural now shows an abstract bundle of black and white lines and is simply named Bauhaus after the famous German school for crafts and fine arts. Here are some pics…

Abstract Graffiti: Graphic Surgery & Nawer in Krakow

Geometrical Graffiti: Graphic Surgery
Tape, spray-paint and abandoned walls, that’s what the Amsterdam-based urban art duo Graphic Surgery needs to create these fantastic, architectural-inspired, geometrical graffiti artworks. In the last month they were really busy, travelling through Europe and painting new things.
I got in touch with their rather interesting wall-paintings some month ago and wanted to get more info about the artists, because I haven’t heard something about them before. Fortunately, Graffuturism did that nice interview with Graphic Surgery earlier this year, which gave me some insights into the thought of Erris Huigens and Gysbert Zijlstra.
