Free For All Walls

<p>I started doing graffiti/street art in 1982, I immersed myself in the hip-hop culture. After many years of painting in Detroit I realized the importance of my voice, artistically, and feel I could do something positive with that voice. I write my thoughts and passion for the people and the communities next to the art pieces I paint on the walls, as a positive word. My need to fight for the things that we believe, the community we live in, our friends, neighbors and families are put at the forefront of my work. This is nowhere near the end of what I have to say.</p>


ARTIST

FEL3000ft

<p>Graffiti artist, muralist, and abstract artist with a bold take on color and movement.</p>
<p>Born in Brazil, raised in New York, and developed in South Florida, Grabster pulls inspiration from decades of independent study and his eclectic upbringing to create colorful, dynamic, and skillful works. His technical expertise is a facet of his work, evident in his geometric and precise designs built to any scale.</p>
<p>Grabster works with fine art publishers like 1XRUN, where his series of original paintings sold out on opening day. His mural work for Onlyfans was the subject of the brand’s recent mini docu series. He’s also collaborated with other large organizations like Formula 1, the US Open, and Redbull to create murals, branded installations, and art aimed at community engagement.</p>
<p>Recognized for his retro-futuristic elements, abstract geometry, and tropical color schemes, Grabster’s work can be found worldwide and across South Florida, where he’s been an established member of the street art community for over 15 years.</p>


GRABSTER

<p>James Wilson is a young Australian artist whose work crosses through the worlds of animation, illustration and painting.</p>
<p>Journeying through the nostalgia of obsolete technology, youth culture and the pitfalls of young love, Wilson’s rose-tinted references look back at the universal growing pains of adolescence and unripe adulthood.</p>
<p>Wilson currently works out of Newfoundland, Canada where he creates visual reactions to his new environment.</p>
<p>Exploring life through loose and often nonlinear narratives, his acute observations peer through a wryly introspective lens, deconstructing cultural stereotypes and poking fun at fragile male egos and sassy female stereotypes.</p>
<p>Encompassing everything from dating apps and youth culture, Wilson presents abstracted miniature storylines in his captivating vignettes. Scornful female characters spit acidic ripostes at skater bois from behind sultry eyelashes, everyday items like crushed beer cans, spray paint nozzles and lighters are deconstructed to form loosely-arced narratives in voyeuristic vignettes.</p>

<p>My work depicts the struggle of everyday life using objects and the human form to create an atmosphere that embodies the soul of middle-class and blue collar Black American&#8217;s. Using negative and positive shapes, as well as detailed line work, I am able to communicate everyday life and aspects of Black culture.</p>

<p>Devin Liston. Working mostly in oil painting and muralism, Liston began his career as part of several collaborative art teams, including CYRCLE and DEVNGOSHA, before going solo at the end of 2014. Drawing inspiration from utilitarian objects, sports, bugs, and imagery from his childhood, Liston’s process is intuitive and direct, while also referencing relationships, time, existence, space, and otherworldly interventions. “The language of sports has helped me to create a dialogue between myself and the universal nature of competition in everything that exists,” he says.</p>

PATCH WHISKY (Richard Miller)

<p>PERU143 is an internationally recognized Peruvian-Canadian muralist and graphic artist whose practice is informed by digital and traditional art forms and his 25 years of painting graffiti. Peru’s work aims to heal, inspire and uplift people’s spirits by transforming neglected and often oppressive spaces into safe, playful, and imaginative worlds.</p>
<p>A proponent of the ‘Graffuturism’ movement and avid traveler, Peru’s art troubles physical and temporal boundaries to uncover novel ways of experiencing otherwise unremarkable spaces. His style is marked by a puzzle-like use of simple geometric shapes, clean lines scaled up to fit any space, and use of primary colours evocative of the simplicity of childhood. Reworking simple and bright graphic elements into complex patterns and meditative murals, Peru’s art evokes a feeling of uplifting wonder.</p>
<p>Ultimately, his purpose is to encourage social change in the form of consciousness-shifting works of art – to create works that communicate the need to rise above our differences by understanding the interconnectedness of all living things.</p>
<p>​He continues exploring these themes between Toronto &amp; Montreal where he lives with his beautiful wife and twin children.</p>

<p>Professionally known as Tony Whlgn ( Hoo &#8211; li &#8211; gen ), I’m an Artist + Designer, born on Detroit’s Eastside. With a background in Digital and Fine Art, I’ve survived as an Artist in the 21st Century by creating unconventional ways for my work to be experienced and made available for mass exchange. From music to garments, carrying out a solid narrative effectively is a top priority.</p>
<p>At an early age, my life was consumed by the Arts, which allowed my skills to be refined and developed thru various artistic disciplines. I.e. Photography, Architecture, Painting, Sculpture and Transportation design. I decided College, wasn’t the route my Life was destined to go and began Pioneering a path of my own.</p>
<p>In 2009, with the help of my close friends we formed, the Whlgn®. My friends and I came to a mutual understanding and we believed in each other’s progress and in our own skill sets respectively. We encourage creatives and individuals alike to be entrepreneurial, live out their dreams, follow what they believe to be true, and not conform to what society believes will make them happy in their lives. Our objective is to open the door of imagination &amp; inspire individuals that can relate. What makes us Whlgns, is that we do what we want because we love what we do.</p>

<p>Infused with Canadian imagery, Whatisadam’s style is reminiscent of vintage comics and pop art. Depictions of North American wildlife and landscapes are common themes within his work, but are always reimagined to feature elements of urban culture, as seen in his maple ‘sizzurp’ cans, tattooed ducks and hockey hoodlums. Whatisadam has collaborated with many organizations such as Osheaga, Sprite, Hennessy, Roots Canada and many more.</p>

<p>I painted a friend’s garage in 2021 out of sheer boredom and found working on large scale stencils very satisfying.  Before long, other neighbours are requesting work, too. The community has been a huge supporter of my work. Toronto has a big influence on my designs. I use elements of pop art and graphic illustration to help bring colour and positivity to neighbourhoods around me, one garage door or wall at a time.  Stencils help maintain the works, as well.</p>


DAVID SILVEIRA  (D.Terra)

<p>Budding from a long family history of visual artists, it was natural for Jesse Kassel to follow suit. In 2010 he earned a BFA with a focus in illustration and has since been exploring various creative outlets. Drawing inspiration from vintage advertisements and graphic design coupled with the rich cultural context and aging city façade, Kassel’s work is an Americana-tinged portrayal of the leisure seeking working class. His paintings of alcohol and tobacco products reflect social celebrations as well as the consequential dependency and grief of substance abuse. Using salvaged wood, household paint and twine, Kassel assembles his work with materials reminiscent of rural craft fair debris. His work has been featured at exhibitions both locally and around the world.</p>

<p>San Diego based artist, Christopher Konecki loves writing about himself in the 3rd person.</p>
<p>Konecki is self-taught and constantly experimenting. He is known for completing large scale aerosol murals, fine artwork including paintings and miniature sculptures, as well as various public and private site specific installations. Konecki&#8217;s work is explorative of social consciousness, generally irreverent, and focused on subjects that are both serious and absurd. His use of found and &#8216;repurposed&#8217; objects in his work advocates the reassessment of typical ideals of function and beauty. Elements of nature often collide with harsh urban landscapes and elements of street art and graffiti, symbolizing the ongoing struggle between the harmonious coexistence of these two competing monumental forces.</p>
<p>In the last five years of his professional art career, Konecki has exhibited in galleries throughout Southern California. His expanded work includes participation in international mural festivals in New Zealand, Canada, and Mexico. In 2015, Konecki completed the largest mural in San Diego covering 9,500 sqft of the 7-story parking structure at 707 Broadway. Konecki is responsible for the curation of tentpole events in the San Diego art scene such as Warehouse 1425 and the ongoing curation of the event space SILO in Makers Quarter which has resulted in nearly 100 murals. Konecki also co-founded Cohort Collective with a small group of well-known dedicated artists that continue to produce live art events and exhibitions in San Diego and beyond. Alongside non-profit organizations Pangeaseed Foundation and Surfrider Foundation, Cohort Collective co-curated Sea Walls: Murals for Oceans San Diego 2016 creating over 20 large scale public artworks that promoted various pressing environmental concerns. Konecki’s installation work may be viewed in numerous establishments, including Oxford Social Club at the Pendry Hotel San Diego, The Container Yard DTLA, Waypoint Public Restaurants, Park and Rec, Silo in Makers Quarter, Hub Marketplace, Form15 and the Arts Center of San Diego.</p>


CHRIS KONECKI

<p>Chris Haven is not your typical artist; he&#8217;s a creative visionary who paints the world with a brush of originality and humor. With a diverse array of influences, moods, and mediums at his disposal, Chris has crafted a unique artistic identity that continually evolves and surprises. From the rhythm of hip-hop to the soul of reggae, his art reflects his ever-changing musical preferences and moods. As a music producer himself, he&#8217;s a true connoisseur of sound, and this eclectic taste infuses his work with a dynamic energy that&#8217;s always in flux.</p>
<p>Chris refuses to be confined to a single artistic medium, embracing everything from spray paint to digital art, markers to airbrush. His journey has taken him from charcoal realism to graffiti, a testament to his endless experimentation. For Chris, art is a manifestation of the imagination, a reflection of his belief in originality above all. His clever and humorous ideas often emerge from the mundane aspects of daily life, sparking whimsical innovations that know no bounds. Chris Haven is more than an artist; he&#8217;s a force of artistic nature, inspiring, evoking laughter, and brightening the world one stroke at a time.</p>
<p>In Colorado&#8217;s burgeoning art scene, Chris is an active participant, appreciating the camaraderie among fellow artists and envisioning a future of unity and preservation. His joy in painting abandoned places and large-scale murals is not just about aesthetics; it&#8217;s about enhancing communities and inspiring people. Beyond his individual artistic endeavors, Chris is a part of the Secret Skwadron, a collective dedicated to preserving the essence of hip-hop culture. As he continues to work on new albums, film skateboarding exploits, collaborate with fellow artists, and quietly brew new projects, Chris Haven remains a beacon in Colorado&#8217;s vibrant artistic landscape.</p>

otherwise forgotten and precarious neighborhoods. I use Graffiti in the context of creating a space to<br />
exhibit my art to society, my themes are full of colors and forms of protest &#8230; &#8220;</p>


BRUNO SMOKY (Bruno Rivette)

<p class="">My artistic journey began with a spark of inspiration from graffiti. Drawing had always been a passion of mine, but it was the dynamic and expressive nature of graffiti that set my creative path ablaze. Pursuing a degree in Illustration at OCAD University in Toronto allowed me to further develop my skills and provided a stimulating environment to continuously practice and improve.</p>
<p class="">As I honed my skills in graffiti, I discovered that my talent could be applied to creating stunning interior and exterior murals. This realization led me to establish Blazeworks while still in university, and to begin taking on commissioned mural work.</p>
<p class="">After graduation, I pursued a career as a freelance mural artist, graphic designer, and illustrator. Over the years, I&#8217;ve had the pleasure of working with various clients, including Facebook, The City Of Toronto, TVO, and many other businesses and privately commissioned works. I&#8217;ve also participated in numerous mural and graffiti festivals around the world, including Meeting of Styles in Malaysia, Concrete Canvas in Hamilton, and various events in Ontario.</p>
<p class="">In 2017, I relocated to Southeast Asia to further develop my skills and broaden my creative perspective. This period of time was a transformative experience, rekindling my connection to my Asian heritage and inspiring a new foundation for my artistic journey.</p>
<p class="">Throughout my ten years as a professional mural artist, the narrative of my artwork has always been a top priority. I view graffiti and illustration as powerful forms of storytelling that can express the adversity we face in life. I focus on culture, technology, and our relationship to the environment in my work, using art as a vessel to communicate my messages and tell my stories.</p>
<p class="">Moving forward, I&#8217;m excited to expand my artistic expression from walls to canvas, sharing my stories and messages on new platforms. I&#8217;m grateful for the incredible journey I&#8217;ve had thus far and look forward to what the future holds.</p>

<p>Like many reputed artists, Alex Bask Hostomsky has a fascinating backstory. Hostomsky fled communist Czechoslovakia in the 1980s with his family as a child and spent his formative years growing up in sunny Florida. In fact, Hostomsky’s family actually escaped Czechoslovakia illegally and sought refuge in a refugee camp in Austria.</p>
<p>Even as a child Hostomsky took an early interest in graffiti as an art form, so it’s no surprise that he grew up to be one of the United State’s most popular graffiti artists. However, Hostomsky’s road to success had its fair share of challenges and as a teenager, Hostmosky was a young delinquent who was ordered to perform community service at the Salvador Dali Museum.</p>
<p>Whilst working at the Salvador Dali Museum, one of Hostomsky’s friends was fatally shot and Hostomsky decided that he may be able to forge a better path for himself by becoming an artist. As he already had a keen interest in graffiti art, Hostomsky quickly began work on creating a career for himself as a professional street artist.</p>


BASK

<p>I am a painter, designer and graffiti artist from Florida, now based in Montreal, Quebec. I am represented by Station16 Gallery.</p>
<p>When I was young&#8230;I watched a lot of T.V. and drank a lot of Kool-Aid. Growing up, I experienced a mix of military and native cultures eventually sending me on a quest to find a visual language that could express the mix of mythologies in my life. In my early teens, I became involved in skateboarding, graffiti and hip-hop culture in general.</p>
<p>I use hand techniques but am influenced by the &#8220;computer-graphics age&#8221;. I often work with a combination of brush and spray-painting.</p>
<p>Some of my inspirations are military insignia, nature, skateboard and tattoo art, old signs, tarot cards, native cultures, &#8220;secret society&#8221; symbolism, Japanese art, propaganda, diagrams, video-games, the 1980&#8217;s and 90&#8217;s at large, science, action movies and vintage advertising &#038; cartoons.</p>

<p>Unwell Bunny&#8217;s artist history begins in Adelaide, Australia as a young 16 year old teen spraying walls and train lines. His initial ideas grew from 90&#8217;s graffiti following a mix of both letter and character based aerosol art.<br />
He moved to Melbourne in 2002 and began showing his work in Melbourne galleries. He became active in the Melbourne street art scene leaving paste up and graffiti works through the lanes and suburbs of Melbourne.<br />
He had his first solo exhibition at Per Square Meter in Melbourne was run by LA based duo Dabs Myla at the time. In 2012, he lived in Amsterdam and spent time with London graffiti and Street art heavy weight D&#8221;Face and Parisian pop graffiti icon Tilt. There he painted projects for Amsterdam street artists the London Police. In 2014, he was included in Metro gallery&#8217;s &#8216;international street art exhibition&#8217; with the likes of ELK, Rone, D*Face, Blek le Rat, and Faile earning a place as an emerging international Australian urban based artist.<br />
In early 2015, he had a solo show at Galerie Lacroix in Paris, which continued the theme of figurative abstract painted works based on a subconscious dialog and drawings based on a build-up of popular culture imagery. He is currently working on future projects based both in Australia and internationally focusing on the further investigation into the popular subconscious.</p>

<p class="has-small-font-size">Rime goes about his paintings like a diary, an illustration of his quotidian quest for the essential. His recent works invite us to introspection, or as he puts it: “Looking into this painting is looking into the mirror of imagination, a mirror of you.” A sheer concentration of energy, Rime’s universe mixes colors, movement and light sources to which the artist has affixed his own lexicon composed of creatures from a universe of cartoons, symbols and multiple details.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p class="has-small-font-size">Heavily inspired by the cartoon world, Rime’s style brashly mixes color with plentiful details and with constantly moving forms. In his lurid compositions, the artist (a.k.a. Jersey Joe) unleashes a sort of violence checked by his mastery of strokes and the varieties of his lines and brush strokes. He adds in his own personal vocabulary of imaginary animal symbols and characters, placed in the canvas like hieroglyphics or stylized writing. His two-dimensional paintings seem to leap from the very wall thanks to his moving lines and his structure-building forms, and to the light flowing from his compositions. Full of details, figures and symbols, each work helps the viewer discern time and again previously unsuspected historical fragments. As with a song of which the meaning suddenly emerges, Rime’s works must be viewed and mastered with time.</p>

<p>hi!</p>
<p>I am canadian artist who succeeds at making a living using my skill of painting large hyper-realistic murals.</p>
<p>If you are looking to hire an artist to paint a mural you need not look further; aaaaand, I am very capable of leading teams for massive projects, giving workshops, private lessons, and graphic illustration &amp; design.</p>
<p>I have 22 years experience painting art on large-scale, outdoor surfaces. I have worked with local, Provincial, Federal &amp; International clients. I work closely with clients to interpret any mandate quickly, effectively, and inexpensively. I believe in enhancing people’s daily interaction with their environment by contributing to public art for them to enjoy, breaking up the mundane. Some of my art has depth and weight in the image while some are just purely visual pleasure. Most have both and that is the key to making good art.</p>
<p>Always open, always prepared, always ready!</p>

<p>Breaking surfaces, seeking depths – layer by layer. Driven by an insatiable curiosity, NYCHOS<br />
creates art in order to examine a question that has always been with him: How deep can you go?<br />
NYCHOS is an alter ego, created by a kid who grew up amidst a clash of cultures: A world, where<br />
Austrian Tradition and its Hunting Culture meets Eighties Pop Culture, Comic and Television. The<br />
visual input from back then still contributes to the output of the adult.</p>
<p>By the means of anatomy, NYCHOS investigates the living species across different contexts and<br />
different media. His favorite tool is the spray can, his favorite surface is large. Questioning contrasts,<br />
he unifies looseness and accuracy. Severity and irony. The inner and the outer world. The dark and<br />
the bright. And most importantly, life and death. Within his oeuvre, one embraces the other. All<br />
becomes one.</p>
<p>NYCHOS creates art from deep within his soul. Deeply rooted in Graffiti and shaped by the visual<br />
inputs of his early years, his work comprises murals, fine art, illustrations, sculptures and animations.<br />
NYCHOS is the founder of Rabbit Eye Movement, co-founder of THE WEIRD and member of the<br />
LORDS crew. His artworks have been exhibited worldwide and his large-scale murals give character<br />
to cities all across the globe. He currently lives and works both in Vienna, Austria and Los Angeles,<br />
California.</p>

Through a marriage of dynamic patterns and vibrant colors, he creates whimsical environments with characters created from a place of playful imagination and the natural world. Deriving from infinite inspiration, that is, we are inspired therefore we can and should inspire others, themes of boundlessness run as a common motif throughout his work. This can be found through the interminable subjects he puzzles together through constant addition. Knowing that there’s perfection in the imperfect, he believes his work always has space for more in the constant pursuit of inspiration.</span></p>

<p>Descended from a line of acclaimed artists, Dave &#8220;Persue&#8221; Ross continues family tradition and is recognized by his colleagues and peers as a true artistic pioneer. In the late 80&#8217;s, Persue (pronounced &#8216;per-SWAY&#8217;), found himself irresistibly drawn to the world of graffiti.</p>
<p>With an energetic, illustrative style, his technical ability and poise as a young writer quickly earned him the respect of his contemporaries throughout the world. Between 1991 and 2010, Persue transcended boundaries both on and off the street by bridging the gap between underground and mainstream culture in the skateboarding industry. With an impressive design resume that pre-dates almost any example of street aesthetics being paired with skateboarding, his influence is woven seamelessly into the fabric of modern day youth culture.</p>
<p>In 2010 Persue shifted his focus from corporate work to his own projects. He eventually brought his endeavors full circle by relocating to New York City in 2014, returning his family&#8217;s brand called &#8220;Home&#8221; to its roots, which reach into New York City&#8217;s past as far back as the 60&#8217;s. His background as a graphic artist, designer and muralist affords him a natural transition into the fine art sphere as his aesthetic continues to evolve. Persue now produces his latest work as a bi-coastal artist, based in New York City.</p>

<p class="">My name is Nekoes and I am from San Diego, California, currently residing in Florida. I paint and create artwork inspired by skateboarding, graffiti culture, music, and human behaviors. On occasion I also build and design furniture.</p>
<p class="">I build and create with reclaimed and newly purchased wood materials. Sometimes while creating, a painting can become a sculpture or even a piece of furniture. I look forward to the happy accidents and unexpected inspiration while creating. Infinite possibilities on the outcome of each creation is what keeps me engaged and continuously working</p>

<p>Fighting for our rights is existential. Just as in a family, each individual’s views and opinions stem from their own personal identity and experiences which, in turn, define boundaries. Each identity presents itself differently through dress codes, body language, and speech patterns, amongst other which signal adherence to a particular opinion, group, or subculture. Their outward appearance, and accompanying sense of belonging can be a relatively effective tool of emancipation, empowering individuals to attract public attention to specific issues, either as a symptom of, or protest against, current socio-political problems, and forms of injustice or discrimination relative to different places and cultures. Despite negative perceptions of them, among those who have claimed their freedom of expression and chosen to protest in the street some, as history shows, have been successful in forging negotiations. For me, depicting scenes of riot is a way to explore and record social and political changes in forms that the written word and cameras cannot. It is an alternative way to engage in, and show how people experience and express their anger, disagreement and despair. I choose to work with the same materials, and often in the same way, as protesters themselves, using spraycans, paint, stencils, cardboard, and wood, transforming not only mass media news into alternative images to expose its human side for impact and consideration, but also to experience and reflect the reality of the street, the very essence of street art.</p>

<p>While Elliott was born in Montreal, he spent his formative years living in Saint Vincent. Elliott helped his mother recreate costumes for the local carnival with which his father was heavily involved. Upon his family&#8217;s return to Canada, Elliott was introduced to street art while studying at the Etobicoke School of the Arts. His high school&#8217;s guidance counsellor directed him to Sheridan College&#8217;s program in Animation and affirmed for the young artist the possibilities of a career in the arts.</p>

<p>Australian born artist Ben Frost is known for his kaleidoscopic Pop Art, mash-up paintings that take inspiration from areas as diverse as graffiti, collage, photorealism and sign-writing.</p>
<p>He has been exhibiting throughout the world for the last 12 years and has been involved in his own share of controversy. In 2000, he faked his own death for an exhibition suitably titled ‘Ben Frost is Dead’ which made national news in Australia. His painting ‘White Children Playing’ caused a stir for its graphic depiction of children using drugs and a masked and disgruntled assailant slashed one of the paintings in his exhibition at the Institute of Modern Art in Brisbane. Police also tried to remove one of his collaborative artworks in an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney because of its graphic nature. He also began and continues to run the Australian street art website ‘Stupid Krap’ and started the yearly paste-up festival Paste-Modernism, which is the largest of its kind in the world.</p>
