Yesterday I came across two unfortunate individuals cleaning off terrible bubble graffiti off a hospital wall. Street art can come in two different forms; beautiful, and downright nasty. German street artist 1010 is the former, and his art should never be cleaned off. By using shadows and layered colors, his graffiti resembles a portal to another dimension. "His art deals with language, symbols and signs, with automatism of perception and the structures of society. In his paperworks he purposely uses a beautiful aesthetic to bring critical topics to the viewers attention. He lures the eye skilfully along well-balanced color shades deep down in an illusory black chasm. In his monochrome acrylic paintings of birdworms, he creates a rather dark atmosphere with these dark convolving creatures. 1010 is a conceptualist. His art doesn't explain itself. An elaborate system underlies it, which evolved over the last years," describes the Affenfaust Galerie. You can see more of his work here and watch him in action here.
Let's get to it:
