    Focusing on lettering and Wildstyle at first, this self-taught and passionate artist brings his knowledge and technique towards an abstract art which mixes curves, calligraphy and dynamic shapes.

    It is hardly 'graffiti' art. It looks more like art covering up graffiti to me. Hopefully, where he has been allowed to work, the owners of the buildings will maintain and waterproof his work. Otherwise it will look a complete mess within a few months. I could also imagine his work, covering complete walls being used for areas such as foyer and staircase decoration INSIDE an art gallery.

    there is a distinction between ''urban art'' and ''graffiti''.....the former one has permission and sometimes gets paid..there is NO risk....the latter one has no permission,does it out of the love for graffiti and gets possible jail

    That's wonderful... street art is so expressively fabulous. I cheered when the locals dedicated an entire highway retaining wall two miles long for street art which revolves and changes with the seasons. Not much organization, but there's always someone adding something creative to the wall.

    Most of the later category deserve jail. Their work is mostly just a weak excuse for vandalism.

    I disagree.......some are borderline in their choice of tag spots but most are not...

    not everyone has the balls to be a berlin kid

    Also disagree, without street art we would be looking at huge ugly blank walls or vast expanses of advertising..

    It is a challenge to properly manage the scene, so 'ugly' doesn't prevail, but it will most always be about social commentary.

    Where blank walls exist, locals should have a say in what is done with said space, whether street art or yet another commercial billboard.

    I know I would prefer art over an advertisement...
