Mr. Prvrt

Enjoying the work of a Prvrt. That might sound odd, but there’s nothing strange about it if you’re talking about Mr. Prvrt’s fine art. Based in Rochester, NY but present across the USA and places so distant as Malaysia, Australia, the UK or Germany, his work has a range as wide as the definition of a prvrt.

Part of the wellknown FUA Krew collective, but also collaborating with Sweet Meat Co. and Potty Mouth Crew, Mr. Prvrt has kept his hands and his mind busy, putting out in the street clothing, canvas, and lots of fresh design and approach to feast your eyes.

So, the next time you hear about some Prvrt work down the street, think twice. It might just worth to check it out.

SPECTER | MIKE BALLARD AKA CEPT

Specter

Specter says he found it's way to fine arts through grafitti in a journey that started more than a decade ago in Canada. Since then he has shown us that in the streets inspiration can be anywhere. Either from cardboard gates or through the eyes of a homeless man, Specter created an array of pieces and different looks to what we can define as street art.
Even now, in one of his latest work, down in Brooklyn, NYC, we see that he keeps a message right next to his talent - in a higher level.

Mike Ballard aka Cept

Between street art and fine art there can be a thin line. Or, in Mike Ballard's perspective, an interesting blending, or even a double identity, that leads to innovative work. His approach is wide and it can mix Caravaggio and NASA, as in his last exhibition, or go for the purest street language as in some of his earlier pieces.

In an interview, Mike said "cave paintings, through spitted pigment are, in a way, the first form of grafitti work". Since then imagination and ar

tists like Mike have never ceased to amaze us.

DAVID WALKER | YUSUKE NAGANO

David Walker

We live to learn, and sometimes we learn that the people we admire might be closer than we think. That's how we came across David Walker's fine work, in the VSP2009 that took place in Lisbon just a few days ago.

David's work, whether we found it in an abandoned building in Lisbon or a fancy gallery any place in a world, strike us as impressive and intriguing, making us curious about the characters displayed. Not only we find ourselves thinking "What was he thinking?", without knowing if we are talking about the artist or the figure we see.

And, sometimes, we don't think, we just enjoy great street art.

Yusuke Nagano

There’s a sense of travel along Yusuke Nagano’s work. A journey to his memories, to his influences, to the little and the big things that surround us, all this throughout beautiful and somehow close to us, illustrations. Born in Japan, but living in Sweden, Yusuke seems to have the ability to make people feel engaged and revive emotions, just by looking to his artwork. And that’s the kind of journey any artist can be proud of beeing part of.
