What once began as a personal self expression through artwork has begun a quiet revolution spreading on the streets then submerged onto the facades of everyday architecture and structures; human artwork altering, amending, adjusting that of another. K-Swiss delivers this morphing of self expression and art form from the streets and into the public eye via the K-Spray International Events. This year, K-Spray is excited to bring you the third Asian tour featuring The London Police (UK), Flying Fortress (Germany), and PEZ (Spain)!
First kicking off in September 2006, K-Spray brought three of the world's top stencil artists Logan Hicks (USA), Sixten (Sweden), and Phibs (Australia) through the cities of Tokyo, Hong Kong, Seoul, Taipei, and Bangkok. At each leg of the tour the artists introduced the medium of stenciling to the audiences at the animated events via art exhibits and live stencil installations. Continuing the momentum of first K-Spray, phase two was close behind, bringing in Fremantle (Paris) and shoe customizer Grand High (USA). In addition to the multi-layer photorealistic stencil installations of Fremantle and live shoe customizations by Grand High, local competitions were held in several of the cities on the 5 city tour. From Manila to Tokyo the two artists captivated crowds in each city, leaving behind their masterpieces and building anticipation for the third K-Spray phase!
As the K-Spray tour rolls onward into 2007 with stencils, stickers, posters, markers, spray and bucket paints throughout the world, this time we bring to Asia three of the world's premier iconic artists from Europe, each with their own instantly recognizable idllyic characters and whimsical personalized styles.
Currently based in Amsterdam, The London Police have built an iconic presence around the globe with their classic instantly recognizable characters the "LADS," spreading the love through pens and stickers. www.thelondonpolice.com.
The clean and precise style in creating the circular Lads are also a must to create bold Teddy Troops equipped with the necessary hardware and vivid protective gear. The guys are ready to depart from Munich with their commander, Flying Fortress, to explore the possible expansion into Asia. www.flying-fortress.de
Also joining the tour, PEZ began working with graffiti tags that have slowly changed into the grinning fish. The happy fish has further evolved into a variety of colorful characters that have brightened the mood of those who stroll along the streets of Barcelona. They will now be smiling up on a building near you to transmit the good vibes in cities throughout the world. www.lawebdelpez.com
