Focus on: Faile

Danilo — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 10:11:24 +0000

Faile is an international artist collective formed in 1999 and based in Brooklyn, New York. They are recognised as some of the pioneers of global contemporary street art. The three founding members are Patrick McNeil (Canada), Patrick Miller (U.S.), and Aiko Nakagawa (Japan).

From initially wheatpasting screen printed posters on the streets of New York and major world cities, they progressed to the more permanent medium of stencil graffiti. Their instantly recognisable[citation needed] pop culture images in posters and stencils have allowed Faile to diversify into other areas encompassing fine art, sculpture, design, fashion, music, and housewares. Despite this, the core of their work remains printmaking, stencilling, and painting.

Poster Stencil

Danilo — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 15:13:59 +0000

Italian street atists Sten & Lex have been working together since they met at University in 2002. They developed this technique to make Poster Stencil art. First they make the stencils and paste them on a panel of wood as a poster. Then they paint the whole board black, when it’s dry they remove the stencil but leave some parts on the board. In the end the stencil is destroyed and becomes part of the poster.
