]]> Drawing on asphalt and pavements is something most of us did when we were kids. It wasn’t any different with Vietnamese artist Cuong Nguyen, except that he continued to do the same once he got older.

As he was growing up in Vietnam, art wasn’t just a hobby for Nguyen. It was also a way to earn money, drawing portraits for people on the streets of Saigon to help his family.

In the early ’90s, Nguyen got a chance to move to the United States, where he temporarily abandoned his passion for drawing and got engaged in various other forms of creative work, including working as an icon designer for one company.

Years later, Nguyen received a chance to return to making portraits when a friend of his invited him to take part in one street art festival in San Rafael, California. He did a small portrait on asphalt using chalk and fell in love with this type of art.

Since then, Nguyen took part in many festivals all around the world, honing his skills and presenting the audience with incredible works. His portraits are imposing, full of details, and life-like to an amazing extent.

You can check out some of them below.

]]> Greek artist and visual designer Charis Tsevis creates stunning mosaic portraits. In a recent segment of his African Brick series, he depicted beautiful black women created in his unique style. He was inspired to create it when he visited the African continent.

Tsevis fell in love with Africa at first sight. He enjoyed learning about different cultures there and loved nature, animals, people, and the history he encountered, especially the houses.

“People used bricks and any kind of material they could find to build a home, a nest, a shelter. I have seen so much courage and so much creativity in all these houses. For me, these are the celebration of life. An incredible puzzle, an amazing mosaic of symbols, messages, and feelings. It was a no-brainer to use this idea for my personal art,” he tells My Modern Met.

Among the portraits from the recent series is the writer Amanda Gorman, whose portrait is called And Still I Rise after the famous poem by Maya Angelou, and reggae artist Keznamidi.

]]> In some places, street art is not welcome. But if one day your path takes you to Paris, you might notice some brilliant wall art displayed there. If you do, there’s a good chance that it’ll belong to the 33-year-old French artist Charles Leval.

Growing up, Leval, who also goes by the name Levalet, has experimented with many other mediums of art. However, bringing cities to life is his favorite thing to do. His creations are mostly funny, playful, and very astonishing.

“I didn’t start working in the streets because I was first and foremost interested in the street,” Leval told Bored Panda. “What I wanted— and what keeps being my aim—was to work on reality and produce a context-sensitive art.”

He then added: “Not simply to show one’s productions ranging from picture rails on a neutral medium and beckon the eyes to enjoy it, but also an art which is a means of intervention and joins an outside reality and aims at modifying it.”

He currently has over 70,000 Instagram followers. However, his beautiful and realistic-looking artwork was seen by many more people from all around the globe.

If you are interested in his creations, check out the gallery below.

]]> Peruvian-Canadian muralist, Peru Dyer Jalea (aka Peru 143), hopes to get a positive message across through his eye-popping designs, splashed across walls around the world. Reworking simple and bright graphic elements (mainly geometric shapes), into complex, meditative, patterns, his art is meant to evoke a feeling of uplifting wonder.

He also hopes his work will encourage communities to rise above their differences and understanding the interconnectedness of all living things. A tall order, but then again, that’s exactly the kind of power art might have: the power to connect people by instilling a sense of wonder.

“We are all interconnected and even though we’ve created borders and hierarchies in the world we are still one people, a race of explorers in the constant pursuit of perfection,” said Jalea in an interview with Talenthouse. “We have to learn to better help each other.”

Born in Peru and based in Toronto, Jalea takes his message around the world. It was actually during one of his travels that he formulated his positive approach. But his message has also caught onto some commercial brands, with commissions from selected clients like Facebook, Nike, Cirque du Soleil, and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

]]> Oftentimes, it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. Typography master, Ricardo Gonzalez, knows best. With a passion for writing, his work often raises direct questions about the ways in which we carry our lives. His aim? Leaving a positive impact.

And with some of his canvases as big as whole buildings, his message is heard loud and clear. Born in Durango, México and currently based in Brooklyn, Gonzalez took to calligraphy at a young age, without even realizing he could write for a living.

“I was lucky in Mexico that this was taught to us, starting in elementary school,” he relayed in an interview with We Heart. “I never thought it was a profession, so I just did it because I enjoyed it. I was also exposed to lettering through my grandfather — after seeing photos of his work in the 1940s and ’50s.”

Having later studied graphic design, sharpened his technical skills and gave him the opportunity to go to school for typeface design and attend workshops. “Some of the tools I use to create come back to graffiti and how it has influenced me over the years,” he notes. “I also like to experiment with the combination of digital and analog; handmade and contemporary.”

With clients as huge as Apple, Nike, Mercedes Benz, and Google, his experimentation proved fruitful. Take a look at some of his more eye-popping typography work in the gallery below.

]]> When it comes to his art, Okuda San Miguel clearly doesn’t shy from making a statement—the bolder the better! Utilizing all the colors of the rainbow, he paints colorful geometric patterns that include themes like animals, skulls, religious iconography, and human figures. Those are splashed across installations, walls, and sometimes even whole buildings.

“I love to work on a large scale because it’s more breathtaking and I prefer to select this size of the project,” the Spanish artist stated once in an interview with Design Boom. “I love to draw directly on the walls and keep creating and improvising during the process,” he added. “I need to see in person the whole architecture and try to play with that. When I do sculptures I need to sketch and then take it to my team to work it out in 3D. Depending on the project, I have about 4 assistants that help me with everything.”

His works, sometimes described as Pop Surrealism meets Street Art, aims at raising questions about existentialism, the universe, the infinite, the meaning of life, and the contradictions of society’s false freedom. “My work is more related to surrealism and pop-art, which I discovered in school, than to street art or what is known as contemporary art,” notes San Miguel.

Amongst his more existential works are a number of churches, transformed into rainbow-colored installations. Scroll down to see some highlights from his Instagram page.

Initiated by the Saudi Ministry of Culture and curated by @sultanthe1st , the phase 1 of my new artwork on the Riyadh Water Tower has just been completed. My team and I will be back in November to finish. I have chosen the words of one of the greatest Bedouin poets: Abdallah ad-Dindan. He was old, poor, and illiterate, yet he held a magnificent wealth of poetry inside his mind and he is one of the best examples of the treasured tradition of Arabian oral poetry. Ad-Dindan, who was of the Duwāsir tribe in the southern Najd region, chose the Bedouin lifestyle and he chose to place importance on the natural environment, living as a nomad and writing about the desert. His humble way of life embodies the true down-to-earth spirit of a Bedouin. My role as an artist is to change stereotypes, so, by focusing on this poet, I believe I will be highlighting a part of Saudi culture that is less celebrated. The specific poem I have chosen is a 27-verse plea for rain after a period of drought. It appears in an anthology written and edited by Marcel Kurpershoek called Oral Poetry and Narratives from Central Arabia and subtitled A Bedouin Bard in Southern Najd.  The book is a complete collection of oral poetry by ad-Dindan and this particular part shows his masterful use of language. Ad-Dindan speaks of the voice of rain and its sweetness as well as the importance of accepting God’s decree. The combination of these words, placed upon the prominent water tower, will highlight the importance of Bedouin values and lifestyle. Ad-Dindan's words would have been lost if it wasn't for Pr. Marcel Kurpershoek. He followed the poet for years, recorded his voice, and transcribed his texts. Today, the words of an illiterate man stand proud and unforgotten on one of the city's most monumental structures. #Dindan #Riyadh #oralpoetry #merciMarcel #backinNovember #MoC 📸 @mehdykhmili

“As a kid, I was into hip hop culture,” he relayed in a candid interview with Art Radar. “Graffiti was the natural medium for me to express myself in an artistic way. It became more and more a case of [me finding my] identity and reconnecting with my Arabic roots.”

A mixture of graffiti art and Arabic calligraphy, his artwork can be found all across the globe, anywhere from the façade of L’Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris and the favelas of Rio di Janeiro to the DMZ in between North and South Korea and the heart of Cairo’s garbage collectors neighborhood.

Born in 1981 in Paris to Tunisian parents, he utilizes Arabic calligraphy as a way to build a bridge between his French and Tunisian backgrounds. “I mix graffiti, which is a ‘western’ medium (although I don’t like to use this term) and Arabic calligraphy, which is an ancient eastern way of expression,” he says. “I think that’s the power of calligraphy and art in general. [They] bring two worlds together and link them. That’s why I feel that my work speaks for me.”

In 2017, I painted this long wall in the Belle De Mai neighborhood in Marseille. A few weeks before I started the project, a young graffiti artist called @kingcofre originally from the city passed away in tragic circumstances. He had painted his name on the wall prior to the project. Out of respect for him and to pay homage to his work, I decided not to paint over his piece. I drew my calligraphy around his name. It even looked like he had painted over my piece. My friend @la_bartbe shared with me few pictures he took recently. I am amazed to see how the wall has evolved and how layers of writing were added to each other. My piece just became the background of many other art pieces. The most important is that Cofre is still proudly standing and that everyone respected his memory #marseille #LaBelleDemai #elseed #utopia #collectionofmoments #RipKingCofre 📸 @christindim @la_bartbe

]]> Pokras Lampas’ art is part graffiti, part calligraphy; part low brow, part high brow; and all-around wonderful. A “Calligraffiti Ambassador” (an artistic movement spearheaded by Niels “Shoe” Meulman in 2007), his art has been exhibited in Russia, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Korea, and the UAE.

“The Calligrafuturism is my self-developed style,” explained Lampas in an interview with the Fendi blog. “We’re all living in a multi-cultural world and if I can help people to learn more about foreign calligraphy, they’ll learn more about other countries. So that’s why Calligrafuturism is so important for me, I don’t want to make something new just because I’m crazy, I want to create it because I can see a very big knowledge and that’s why I’m doing it.”

According to Lampas, being a “Calligraffiti Ambassador” is a great way to create art non-stop. “Now I can easily take a big bucket of paint and perform my art everywhere,” he says. “On walls, on glass, on cars!”. Lampas knows what he’s talking about. In 2015, he performed the first world’s largest calligraffiti on the roof of a building in Moscow – an artwork that can be seen from Google Earth.

He admits he’s always on the lookout for the next best surface to work on. “Of course, I prefer something smooth, but it depends on the material and the tools,” he says. “So, if I could find something very nice to work on outside this earth, it would probably be the moon. That would be my favorite surface!”

"➗ — ➕ ": "МЕТА-СУПРЕМАТИЧЕСКИЙ КРЕСТ" Покраса Лампаса восстановлен и продолжает жить в Екатеринбурге! ⠀ Последние два месяца градус дискуссий вокруг моей работы на пл. Первой Пятилетки в рамках фестиваля STENOGRAFFIA достиг практически кипения, и был зафиксирован в начале октября "двумя красными пересекающими линиями" — уходя от ассоциаций с православной символикой и переосмысляя главное — оммаж не только русскому авангарду, супрематизму и Казимиру Малевичу, но и современной культуре и социуму, в котором существует работа. ⠀ Приставка «Мета-», которая используется по отношению к работам, созданным в последнем десятилетии, происходит от термина Платона "metaxis" и обозначает колебание между двумя противоположными понятиями при одновременности их использования. ⠀ В понимании символики данной работы необходимо учитывать это определение. ⠀ Оно подтверждает важность существования и уважения образа креста не только в качестве художественного образа, но и религиозного символа, так как это происходило на протяжении столетий существования данного образа в иконографии и оставило след в мировой культуре. ⠀ Ответственно подходя к сохранению мира в Екатеринбурге и созданию в первую очередь культурно-объединяющего публичного пространства, я при поддержке @stenograffia, администрации города и локальных сообществ восстановил площадь. ⠀ Однако, следуя современным художественным процессам, моя работа перестала существовать лишь в физическом воплощении — и раскрылась сразу в двух важных культурный событиях: ⠀ — В качестве видеодокументации перформанса и манифестации о Форме, Композиции и Свободе для фильма "33 Слова о дизайне" ╳@bangbangeducation. ⠀ — На международном мэппинг фестивале на знаменитой Берлинской телебашне, в честь 30-ти летия падения Берлинской Стены ╳ @silasveta. ⠀ Современная культура стирает не только рамки художественного высказывания. Она ставит под сомнение ограничения, которые формируются городской средой и поднимает важные вопросы: мира и борьбы, системы ценностей и ассоциаций, свободы и цензуры. ⠀ ➗ — ➕: Метамодернизм во всей красе!

]]> Samuel Rodriguez’s art is a mixture of graffiti, typography, and portraiture. Based out of San José, California, he started out as a self-taught graffiti artist and has later decided to expand his studies by pursuing a Bachelor in Fine Arts at California College of the Arts.

“I feel lucky to have studied as an artist in the streets and later in a college,” he told Acclaim Magazine. “In doing so, I always felt like I had to keep my artistry of the streets and love of letters separate from what I was learning in school. I used to separate what I could create, so, for example, I would tell myself ‘this is for graffiti’, and ‘that is for the galleries’, today I don’t. Now I am combining my love of everything together, which you will begin to see unfold in the years to come.”

Rodriguez categorizes his art into two types of portraiture: Topographical Portraiture and Type Faces. While his Topographical Portraits are made by stylizing a portrait with topographical lines and shapes, reminding of geographic maps, his Type Faces incorporate typography and portraiture.

His unique style of painting took the art world by storm, and his pieces are now shown in public art spaces, museums, companies, and galleries, as well as published in editorial publications. Though best experienced in person, you can also follow his work online through his Instagram page.

]]> Greek artist and visual designer Charis Tsevis creates stunning mosaic portraits. In a recent segment of his African Brick series, he depicted beautiful black women created in his unique style. He was inspired to create it when he visited the African continent.

Tsevis fell in love with Africa at first sight. He enjoyed learning about different cultures there and loved nature, animals, people, and the history he encountered, especially the houses.

“People used bricks and any kind of material they could find to build a home, a nest, a shelter. I have seen so much courage and so much creativity in all these houses. For me, these are the celebration of life. An incredible puzzle, an amazing mosaic of symbols, messages, and feelings. It was a no-brainer to use this idea for my personal art,” he tells My Modern Met.

Among the portraits from the recent series is the writer Amanda Gorman, whose portrait is called And Still I Rise after the famous poem by Maya Angelou, and reggae artist Keznamidi.

]]> In some places, street art is not welcome. But if one day your path takes you to Paris, you might notice some brilliant wall art displayed there. If you do, there’s a good chance that it’ll belong to the 33-year-old French artist Charles Leval.

Growing up, Leval, who also goes by the name Levalet, has experimented with many other mediums of art. However, bringing cities to life is his favorite thing to do. His creations are mostly funny, playful, and very astonishing.

“I didn’t start working in the streets because I was first and foremost interested in the street,” Leval told Bored Panda. “What I wanted— and what keeps being my aim—was to work on reality and produce a context-sensitive art.”

He then added: “Not simply to show one’s productions ranging from picture rails on a neutral medium and beckon the eyes to enjoy it, but also an art which is a means of intervention and joins an outside reality and aims at modifying it.”

He currently has over 70,000 Instagram followers. However, his beautiful and realistic-looking artwork was seen by many more people from all around the globe.

If you are interested in his creations, check out the gallery below.

]]> Peruvian-Canadian muralist, Peru Dyer Jalea (aka Peru 143), hopes to get a positive message across through his eye-popping designs, splashed across walls around the world. Reworking simple and bright graphic elements (mainly geometric shapes), into complex, meditative, patterns, his art is meant to evoke a feeling of uplifting wonder.

He also hopes his work will encourage communities to rise above their differences and understanding the interconnectedness of all living things. A tall order, but then again, that’s exactly the kind of power art might have: the power to connect people by instilling a sense of wonder.

“We are all interconnected and even though we’ve created borders and hierarchies in the world we are still one people, a race of explorers in the constant pursuit of perfection,” said Jalea in an interview with Talenthouse. “We have to learn to better help each other.”

Born in Peru and based in Toronto, Jalea takes his message around the world. It was actually during one of his travels that he formulated his positive approach. But his message has also caught onto some commercial brands, with commissions from selected clients like Facebook, Nike, Cirque du Soleil, and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

]]> Oftentimes, it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. Typography master, Ricardo Gonzalez, knows best. With a passion for writing, his work often raises direct questions about the ways in which we carry our lives. His aim? Leaving a positive impact.

And with some of his canvases as big as whole buildings, his message is heard loud and clear. Born in Durango, México and currently based in Brooklyn, Gonzalez took to calligraphy at a young age, without even realizing he could write for a living.

“I was lucky in Mexico that this was taught to us, starting in elementary school,” he relayed in an interview with We Heart. “I never thought it was a profession, so I just did it because I enjoyed it. I was also exposed to lettering through my grandfather — after seeing photos of his work in the 1940s and ’50s.”

Having later studied graphic design, sharpened his technical skills and gave him the opportunity to go to school for typeface design and attend workshops. “Some of the tools I use to create come back to graffiti and how it has influenced me over the years,” he notes. “I also like to experiment with the combination of digital and analog; handmade and contemporary.”

With clients as huge as Apple, Nike, Mercedes Benz, and Google, his experimentation proved fruitful. Take a look at some of his more eye-popping typography work in the gallery below.

]]> When it comes to his art, Okuda San Miguel clearly doesn’t shy from making a statement—the bolder the better! Utilizing all the colors of the rainbow, he paints colorful geometric patterns that include themes like animals, skulls, religious iconography, and human figures. Those are splashed across installations, walls, and sometimes even whole buildings.

“I love to work on a large scale because it’s more breathtaking and I prefer to select this size of the project,” the Spanish artist stated once in an interview with Design Boom. “I love to draw directly on the walls and keep creating and improvising during the process,” he added. “I need to see in person the whole architecture and try to play with that. When I do sculptures I need to sketch and then take it to my team to work it out in 3D. Depending on the project, I have about 4 assistants that help me with everything.”

His works, sometimes described as Pop Surrealism meets Street Art, aims at raising questions about existentialism, the universe, the infinite, the meaning of life, and the contradictions of society’s false freedom. “My work is more related to surrealism and pop-art, which I discovered in school, than to street art or what is known as contemporary art,” notes San Miguel.

Amongst his more existential works are a number of churches, transformed into rainbow-colored installations. Scroll down to see some highlights from his Instagram page.

Initiated by the Saudi Ministry of Culture and curated by @sultanthe1st , the phase 1 of my new artwork on the Riyadh Water Tower has just been completed. My team and I will be back in November to finish. I have chosen the words of one of the greatest Bedouin poets: Abdallah ad-Dindan. He was old, poor, and illiterate, yet he held a magnificent wealth of poetry inside his mind and he is one of the best examples of the treasured tradition of Arabian oral poetry. Ad-Dindan, who was of the Duwāsir tribe in the southern Najd region, chose the Bedouin lifestyle and he chose to place importance on the natural environment, living as a nomad and writing about the desert. His humble way of life embodies the true down-to-earth spirit of a Bedouin. My role as an artist is to change stereotypes, so, by focusing on this poet, I believe I will be highlighting a part of Saudi culture that is less celebrated. The specific poem I have chosen is a 27-verse plea for rain after a period of drought. It appears in an anthology written and edited by Marcel Kurpershoek called Oral Poetry and Narratives from Central Arabia and subtitled A Bedouin Bard in Southern Najd.  The book is a complete collection of oral poetry by ad-Dindan and this particular part shows his masterful use of language. Ad-Dindan speaks of the voice of rain and its sweetness as well as the importance of accepting God’s decree. The combination of these words, placed upon the prominent water tower, will highlight the importance of Bedouin values and lifestyle. Ad-Dindan's words would have been lost if it wasn't for Pr. Marcel Kurpershoek. He followed the poet for years, recorded his voice, and transcribed his texts. Today, the words of an illiterate man stand proud and unforgotten on one of the city's most monumental structures. #Dindan #Riyadh #oralpoetry #merciMarcel #backinNovember #MoC 📸 @mehdykhmili

“As a kid, I was into hip hop culture,” he relayed in a candid interview with Art Radar. “Graffiti was the natural medium for me to express myself in an artistic way. It became more and more a case of [me finding my] identity and reconnecting with my Arabic roots.”

A mixture of graffiti art and Arabic calligraphy, his artwork can be found all across the globe, anywhere from the façade of L’Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris and the favelas of Rio di Janeiro to the DMZ in between North and South Korea and the heart of Cairo’s garbage collectors neighborhood.

Born in 1981 in Paris to Tunisian parents, he utilizes Arabic calligraphy as a way to build a bridge between his French and Tunisian backgrounds. “I mix graffiti, which is a ‘western’ medium (although I don’t like to use this term) and Arabic calligraphy, which is an ancient eastern way of expression,” he says. “I think that’s the power of calligraphy and art in general. [They] bring two worlds together and link them. That’s why I feel that my work speaks for me.”

In 2017, I painted this long wall in the Belle De Mai neighborhood in Marseille. A few weeks before I started the project, a young graffiti artist called @kingcofre originally from the city passed away in tragic circumstances. He had painted his name on the wall prior to the project. Out of respect for him and to pay homage to his work, I decided not to paint over his piece. I drew my calligraphy around his name. It even looked like he had painted over my piece. My friend @la_bartbe shared with me few pictures he took recently. I am amazed to see how the wall has evolved and how layers of writing were added to each other. My piece just became the background of many other art pieces. The most important is that Cofre is still proudly standing and that everyone respected his memory #marseille #LaBelleDemai #elseed #utopia #collectionofmoments #RipKingCofre 📸 @christindim @la_bartbe

]]> Pokras Lampas’ art is part graffiti, part calligraphy; part low brow, part high brow; and all-around wonderful. A “Calligraffiti Ambassador” (an artistic movement spearheaded by Niels “Shoe” Meulman in 2007), his art has been exhibited in Russia, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Korea, and the UAE.

“The Calligrafuturism is my self-developed style,” explained Lampas in an interview with the Fendi blog. “We’re all living in a multi-cultural world and if I can help people to learn more about foreign calligraphy, they’ll learn more about other countries. So that’s why Calligrafuturism is so important for me, I don’t want to make something new just because I’m crazy, I want to create it because I can see a very big knowledge and that’s why I’m doing it.”

According to Lampas, being a “Calligraffiti Ambassador” is a great way to create art non-stop. “Now I can easily take a big bucket of paint and perform my art everywhere,” he says. “On walls, on glass, on cars!”. Lampas knows what he’s talking about. In 2015, he performed the first world’s largest calligraffiti on the roof of a building in Moscow – an artwork that can be seen from Google Earth.

He admits he’s always on the lookout for the next best surface to work on. “Of course, I prefer something smooth, but it depends on the material and the tools,” he says. “So, if I could find something very nice to work on outside this earth, it would probably be the moon. That would be my favorite surface!”

"➗ — ➕ ": "МЕТА-СУПРЕМАТИЧЕСКИЙ КРЕСТ" Покраса Лампаса восстановлен и продолжает жить в Екатеринбурге! ⠀ Последние два месяца градус дискуссий вокруг моей работы на пл. Первой Пятилетки в рамках фестиваля STENOGRAFFIA достиг практически кипения, и был зафиксирован в начале октября "двумя красными пересекающими линиями" — уходя от ассоциаций с православной символикой и переосмысляя главное — оммаж не только русскому авангарду, супрематизму и Казимиру Малевичу, но и современной культуре и социуму, в котором существует работа. ⠀ Приставка «Мета-», которая используется по отношению к работам, созданным в последнем десятилетии, происходит от термина Платона "metaxis" и обозначает колебание между двумя противоположными понятиями при одновременности их использования. ⠀ В понимании символики данной работы необходимо учитывать это определение. ⠀ Оно подтверждает важность существования и уважения образа креста не только в качестве художественного образа, но и религиозного символа, так как это происходило на протяжении столетий существования данного образа в иконографии и оставило след в мировой культуре. ⠀ Ответственно подходя к сохранению мира в Екатеринбурге и созданию в первую очередь культурно-объединяющего публичного пространства, я при поддержке @stenograffia, администрации города и локальных сообществ восстановил площадь. ⠀ Однако, следуя современным художественным процессам, моя работа перестала существовать лишь в физическом воплощении — и раскрылась сразу в двух важных культурный событиях: ⠀ — В качестве видеодокументации перформанса и манифестации о Форме, Композиции и Свободе для фильма "33 Слова о дизайне" ╳@bangbangeducation. ⠀ — На международном мэппинг фестивале на знаменитой Берлинской телебашне, в честь 30-ти летия падения Берлинской Стены ╳ @silasveta. ⠀ Современная культура стирает не только рамки художественного высказывания. Она ставит под сомнение ограничения, которые формируются городской средой и поднимает важные вопросы: мира и борьбы, системы ценностей и ассоциаций, свободы и цензуры. ⠀ ➗ — ➕: Метамодернизм во всей красе!

]]> Samuel Rodriguez’s art is a mixture of graffiti, typography, and portraiture. Based out of San José, California, he started out as a self-taught graffiti artist and has later decided to expand his studies by pursuing a Bachelor in Fine Arts at California College of the Arts.

“I feel lucky to have studied as an artist in the streets and later in a college,” he told Acclaim Magazine. “In doing so, I always felt like I had to keep my artistry of the streets and love of letters separate from what I was learning in school. I used to separate what I could create, so, for example, I would tell myself ‘this is for graffiti’, and ‘that is for the galleries’, today I don’t. Now I am combining my love of everything together, which you will begin to see unfold in the years to come.”

Rodriguez categorizes his art into two types of portraiture: Topographical Portraiture and Type Faces. While his Topographical Portraits are made by stylizing a portrait with topographical lines and shapes, reminding of geographic maps, his Type Faces incorporate typography and portraiture.

His unique style of painting took the art world by storm, and his pieces are now shown in public art spaces, museums, companies, and galleries, as well as published in editorial publications. Though best experienced in person, you can also follow his work online through his Instagram page.
