These pieces come from a commission from Cabify who run an electric car taxi service, they didn't ask me to use their logo anywhere and regarded the project as employing me to beautifying the city, reinvigorating tired urban spaces and areas that will never have received love to attention in this way, the stencils were cut from plywood and old water was used in the creation of the imagery
I am an infamous British street artist who has lived in Catalonia for 12 years, coming from a background of printing subversive T shirt designs at the end of the 90’s I created something that is now a global phenomenon by making the act of creating graffiti legal by only using cleaning processes to create it, this also made dirt and pollution into something valuable. It was and is beautiful and back then I called reverse graffiti. The process of producing the murals is quite specialised. I create bespoke stencil designs (that can then become wooden light boxes) cut from plywood and then pressure wash the designs into walls or paving that need to have some covering of moss or discolouring from biological matter and pollution so a contrast can be made with the parts that are cleaned by the water. I have appeared in publications and newspapers and short films all over the world including the BBC, CNN , Discovery Shorts, The New York Times Ideas of the year, The reverse graffiti project on Youtube registered a million hits in a few weeks and my designs are now in my own carpet range called Revive (Royal Thai). The imagery does not last forever, it is part of the ecosystem it was created in though it can last several years and can also be worked on top of to create depth and background, it is an extremely beautiful and engaging process that people are beguiled by.
