BSA Special Feature: Royyal Dog: “Prettier Than Flowers”
Royyal Dog (Chris Chanyang Shim, 심찬양) is a Korean graffiti writer and street artist from Seoul, Korea. In this video his photorealistic skills are on display in this video from a few years ago, the sunny day reminding us of spring and the promise of warm breezes, sunshine, and new love. The portrait radiates while balancing floral details, traditional dress and messages written in Korean caligraphy
Shuko & Friends via I Love Graffiti
“Spray-painting trains in 2022 still is a very important part of the Graffiti movement,” say the folks at ILoveGraffiti.de, who produced this video on Berlin based graffiti writer SHUKO. Within a minute you can see that SHUKO is active on subway trains and s-trains, a thunderous rush of adrenaline powering the circumspect movements of aerosol-wielding people for a half century. For the last couple of years, Berlin’s trains have been showcasing the work of many artists in heavy numbers and quick succession.
Said Dokins: Resilience, Love, and Subversion
“BLOOP EXPERIENCE is the urban side of BLOOP FESTIVAL Milano.
A series of collaboration murals by Said Dokins, Biokip Labs Atelier and the residents of the neighbourhood, Via del Turchino. Hosted by MM.
The word AMA (imperative verb for the word amare: to love) was written of the memories, words and sentences that described the area
by the residents.”
