A month ago I told you about that phenomenal upcoming graffiti video documentary of, with and by one of the most sportive and diverse Russian crews, now the film was finally published! ...

Tags, throw-ups, extinguisher paintings - In his latest video, German Rigol documents a crew of Spanish graffiti vandals in the usually clean and tidy city of Barcelona and shows us in that way, what good behavior in an urban, graffiti context really means… The topic of tagging, bombing and street action is not new to German Rigol, who already got the world’s attention for his tag tools photo-series called Marker Fetish. ...

I really like the photos of those guys…Sven Marquardt, Peter Franck, Matthias Gephart and Sebastian Klug are photographing off the beaten tracks for years and are now showing their latest works at Neonchocolate Gallery in Berlin! Photographing the often bizarre protagonists of the multiple parallel worlds which can be found in every sociopolitical, urban environment (punks, easy-jet party dudes, etc.) the four photographers got quite popular in the last months… ...

aryz exhibition barcelona Regularly used by computer scientists as a first test output for any kind of software, the phrase Hello World in the context of an exhibition by one of the world’s leading urban artists Aryz means something totally different! Style is the limit. (Aryz) At Montana Gallery Barcelona he is presenting a solo exposition for the first time with a series of oil paintings combined with fabrics and drawings. Although it’s probably quite hard for some who is well-known for huge murals around the world to be restricted to a reduced canvas size he did a fantastic job, as the photos from the opening (which took place only a few days ago) prove! ...

I was really happy, when I noticed the latest murals by a French crew of urban artists called Animae Dementia. As they report on their blog, they are exploring Berlin right now - After they hit the old NSA station Teufelsberg they recently left their marks on the walls of the abandoned Bärenquell Brewery! Being well equipped with straps and other climbing stuff, they are able to abseil themselves from the roof and paint formerly inaccessible wall parts. Nevertheless it’s not just the technique, but also the resulting murals, showing crazy, comic-like animals, which are just amazing! ...

During the last days, there were a lot of really interesting street art and graffiti news. Lots of artists spent hours and days to paint new murals around the world, to create fantastic sculptures and installations and to many other dope things. Here’s a small collection of impressing stuff, I got not enough time to write about…Enjoy! London probably got a new Banksy! As VNA reported, this falling shopping cart stencil artwork could be another masterpiece… ...

Do you remember what happens, when Polish graffiti artist Nawer teams up with others to create some collaboration pieces? If not you should definitely check out the great abstract stuff he did together with Graphic Surgery in Krakow earlier this year… Today I stumbled upon another great Nawer-collab! Back in Summer Nawer caught up with Chazme718, Sepe and Roem in Warsaw. Bringing together their finest qualities, the four well-known artists painted a mind-blowing mural in the Polish capital, which only now came to be known!! ...

It’s running not that well for Greece at the moment - you all know that - but it looks like that at least artists like Pavlos Tsakonas keeo on working for a better future… Today I came across the fantastic No Signal mural, painted by Panos Sklavenitis in Athens and have to say that I loved it at a first glance! Practically you could describe it as a perfect metaphor for the interrupted connection between politics and people - I don’t know whether this or something similar was the artist’s intention, but I’m pretty sure many people will understand it like that. Or what do you think? ...
