WS&TR – Wildstylers & TazReport
Tazreport and Wildstylers, surely two of the best italian websites about graffiti, are now together.
The new website has a totally new and wonderful interface and a gallery you should check (including some show report: the photo below is taken from the show “secret weapons” in Milan).
good job guys!
we can’t wait to see some news!
As time passes by, we see many faces on the walls that look the same, as people tend to uniform their style to a well known paradigm.
Surely, GORB isn’t one of those. His work is incredibly new, and he’s up with sticker, posters and the everlasting spraycans.
We asked him some questions: he answered, I think, in a really interesting way.
1. How is painting in the street in London? Is it still possible? Do you think that security and cameras affect style in some way?
In London it depends where you want to paint, central London and Westminster Council are militant, u could probly get away with a few tags but there buffed within hours, so its just not worth the hassle. Where I’m from in South London you can paint anywhere but if you get caught by the locals that can be a lot worse that the po po! Yah get me blood! That’s why when we paint there its mainly track sides.
But yeah the cameras have pretty much killed painting, but then u can still get up with stickers and small posters. You have to just adapt to the circumstances and develop your style to another medium.
2. You do some cool letters, how have you started doing characters, and stickers and posters and the other “new stuff”?
Well like I’ve just said you adapt or die, but really I just got a bit bored of letters, going to art school and starting to see books like stencil graffiti, just open my eyes and I realized you don’t have to do letters, once I realized that I felt free to try other mediums. Now I try not to
look at graffiti as a certain rule and just stick to what I want to do, and that’s always to do something interesting.
(more…)
half of public art, half of land art and half of whatever you want to sum up to a 150% of cool painting. Felice Varini deserves some attention.
Latrinalia, or restroom graffiti, is the art of writing in the toilet: despite these writings being ephemeral, they often carry a deep insight in human’s personality.
Latrinalia.org offers a large gallery, cleverly commented and refined with reference to the source – where available.
That is, surfing Latrinalia you’ll know exactly where and when the photo was shot, and even if the photograph pissed or not. Great website.
