Do you remember the stencil art show “Grains of Wrath” by Pisa73 I recommended to you some days before? Today I had some time and hit the road to get photos from that urban art exhibition. One interesting part of the new artworks is, that Pisa73 evolved the classic, often planar stencil art technique to a rough speckled form. Hence I found it really interesting to inspect the spray-paintings, which by the way focus on institutional and corporate authority and its traditional misuse of power. ...

I love this amazing stencil art stuff by Christian Guemy alias C215. This and the fact, that he is one of the most talented urban artists I know, are the reasons for the interview I did with him some months ago. C215 Exhibition in Paris Since this Monday, his recent solo exhibition is taking place at the Pierre Cardin Gallery in Paris. I was happy about that date, ’cause I visited the French capital and street art metropolis at the same time, but unfortunately I had a full schedule - meeting Vito & Romuald, making a street art tour through Belleville (photos will be uploaded soon), documenting the “Graffiti meets Thalys” event and so on - so I could not visit the impressive C215 exhibition. ...

First of all I have to say, that there are about 110 photos of the “Graffiti meets Thalys” event in my flickr photo-stream. Take a look! Announced were only the four famous European graffiti artists Seak One (Cologne), Sozy One (Brussels), JonOne 156 (Paris) and Zedz (Amsterdam), but in the end there were additionally Nunca (Sao Paulo) and Opak (Paris). Because photos alone are not enough to get to know the artists, here is some background info about these internationally known artists: ...

As I wrote two days ago, international high-speed train operator Thalys invited me to document the “Graffiti meets Thalys” live event, which took place at “Gare du Nord” (North Station) in Paris yesterday. Four Six well-known and famous European writers - Seak One (Cologne), Sozy One (Brussels), JonOne 156 (Paris) and Zedz (Amsterdam) - had to paint a train as fast as Thalys will soon take to get from Paris to Cologne or Amsterdam, 3 hours and 15 minutes. ...

At this moment I’m on the way to Paris, where the train manufacturer Thalys will have its “Graffiti meets Thalys” live event tomorrow. In addition to the graffiti artists Seak One from Cologne and Sozy One from Brussels, the writer JonOne 156 from Paris and Zedz from Amsterdam will duly bring the railway line on stream by painting 4 whole-trains within three hours. Of course I will try to photographically document this graffiti event. But before the live performance will start tomorrow, I will meet the authors of the “Paris Street Art” book, Romuald Stivine and Vito today. They will instruct me a little in the Parisian urban art culture. ...
