kuromidori LESS presents "never surrender"
Yesterday I went to a temporary graffiti art gallery held at Tower Records Shibuya's Stage One floor, I had learnt about it a bit late and it was the last day. Artwork by Tokyo graffiti artists such as QP, Ekys, Sasu, Kami and 5.14 was being displayed. I was sure photos weren't allowed, but seems like this guy got permission. Check it out!
QP had a large sheet hung, on which his characteristic symbol (Flickr) was drawn twice! On the back were tags from many other artists. Sasu pasted very cute characters done on plastic cases like those used for food in supermarkets or at matsuri. Kami had apparently stolen a street address sign and tagged it with his curvy designs.
Ekys was funny in his own way. While his tags are usually simple and all look-alike, so you'd expect something similar, but instead he took a blank canvas and broke it, and that was all!
Disclaimer: I'm saying "his" a lot just to make text flow easier, but I don't know for sure the gender of most of these artists.
