Art of Destruction: Interview with Vhils
Although I did not write about him so far, Alexandre Farto aka Vhils is recently one of my favorite urban artists. With his amazing and very popular Scratching The Surface artworks, he tries “focusing on the act of destruction to create” as he told me in the interview he gave me some days ago…
uac: In the last months and years, you and especially your artworks became very popular around the world. A lot of people wrote articles about you, published photos and videos about your artworks and were - like me - fascinated about the way you create your works. Although, nobody really knows something about you. Could you explain who you are, where you´re from and how you got in contact with the so-called urban art?

Mural Art: Breaking the Wall in Wroclaw
The Exhibition of Murals in the old city of Wroclaw is the fourth stage of the Breaking The Wall project. My first thought when I read the lineup of participating artists, including Blu, Erica Il Cane, SickBoy, Zosen, and others, was: That will be fuckin’ great!.
Their murals will reflect on the identity and existence of the post-1989 generation, as well as the celebrated anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Even though there was no concrete structure to pull down in Wroclaw’s history, it is clear that there will be lots of walls to get rid of in the future.

Street Art 3.0: Mentalgassi in Berlin
Yes, it’s a commercial work, but nevertheless it’s really amazing! The Berlin-based street art crew Mentalgassi did a nice job at the Alexanderplatz in the heart of Berlin. They created so-called “Flip-Images”, large-scale image-installations which make it possible for the public to see different images from different perspectives.
Mentalgassi are well-known for their oversized paste-ups, showing expressive, crazy faces of their friends. In the past, they also experimented with concrete, stickers and X-films, self-sticking color transparencies, for the ticket validators on the Berlin subway-stations.

Aakash Nihalani: Taping Freehand?
It’s really brilliant to see how simple the master of geometrical tape art, Aakash Nihalani, creates his great artworks!
The most recent example is a short video called “Free Hand”, which shows in about 50 seconds, how Aakash sticked one of his actual tape creations to a wall in Brooklyn…it’s like magic…
…No, you’re right - the video is reversed and one of the most famous tape artists around has punked you! Nice idea.

Street Photography: L’Atlas in Moscow

Visual Aggression: Rero Interview
There are already some articles about French urban artists Rero and his “Image Negation” artworks, but recently, he agreed to answer some of my questions about himself, the intention behind his abandoned artworks and about the popularity of clear and simple typography artworks around the world.
To cut a long story short, here is my first interview with one of my current favorite urban artists from Europe…
uac: Although you are relatively unknown for the majority of the people, your urban artworks have become very popular recently. How would you describe yourself? Where are you from? And how would you characterise your work?
