Graffiti Art - Issue 37 - January / February 2018

In dit nummer

The stunning piece by D*Face chosen for this issue cover and soon to be exhibited at the Urvanity fair of Madrid very well sums up our state of mind at the beginning of 2018. What is it about? Awareness about the mess of the world yet with biting irony. A sort of militant aesthetic of desperation. For this new issue, we decided to go back in the street. With Bahia Shehab, a witness and player of the Egyptian revolution through the means of activist stencils. With Ian Strange and his sunk constructions: hopefully a prelude to awakening the political consciousness of the American suburbs. With Cranio and his “noble savages” who have a good laugh exploring the consumerist colonization of South America. With Kashink and her blurring of genders. And then, paradoxically, with an interview of Felipe Pantone, who shows us a future of speed and electricity through the twisting around of images drawn from old CPTs. There will also be a hint of nostalgia with Maxime Drouet who embarks us on his pretty “vandalized” trains or JonOne properly museified. We will conclude with a note on an infomercial dedicated to Richard Orlinski, a man we so deeply admire for so many reasons too
long to explain. Worry and irony. Happy new year to all of you.
