SpY

Firstly ola, its been a while since I posted a post on this post page thingy, festives followed by flat hunting, excuses excuses I know but . . . . 

Rolling on from Tommy D’s Mark Jenkins post and keeping it street, I want to share wit y’all a guy I stumble upon whist scouring ekosystem, which if you haven’t already wasted time loosing yourself in all its content I high recommend you don’t begin, it’s gonna take a while.

Them at ekosystem say “We like Banksy but SpY is the real master”. Quite an accolade but I might just be in agreement with them. 

He goes by the name SpY, he’s from Madrid, espagnol, his work is dope. Fact.

They are called interventions.

So so so many good ones I could have stuck on here but didn’t want to fill the screen, best you go check out his site and see them all with your own peepers. enjoy.

“There is opposition, and risk, but I think that just shows that street art is the sort of frontier where the leading edge really does have to chew through the ice. And it’s good for people to remember public space is a battleground, with the government, advertisers and artists all mixing and mashing, and even now the strange cross-pollination taking place as street artists sometimes become brands, and brands camouflaging as street art creating complex hybrids or impersonators.”
