  SNIK

  Snik

  SNIK are an art duo based in the United Kingdom. With over a decade’s experience painting walls inside and out they have established themselves as one of the most interesting and progressive stencil artists of the moment. Their bold aesthetic is characterized by frozen scenes of dynamic action often at impressive scale, however it is the delicate details of the everyday which make their works particularly unusual. Rather than an elaborate narrative, SNIK seek to elevate the subtle and often unremarkable details of a single moment; tangled strands of hair, folds and textures of fabrics. It is this focus which has come to define their work. First italian wall in 2017.

  Sten+Lex

  Sten+Lex

  Sten Lex is a duo of street artists from Rome and Taranto in Italy, famous for their style that is a crossroad between Op Art (Optical art), photography and stencil, and characterized by a highly developed technical finesse adapted to a monumental scale. In the beginning of their collaboration, in Italy didn’t exist a strong stencil culture such as there was in France for example, so Sten & Lex may be considered as the pioneers of “Stencil Graffiti” in Italy and were the first to be considered “stencil artists”.

  Sweet Toof

  Sweet Toof

  Sweet Toof’s work starts with and evolves out of his street art, whether as a solo graffiti artist or in collaboration with others. Like the streets of 1980s New York, Britain’s streets today are being reclaimed by an ever-increasing army of street artists of which Sweet Toof is one of the most prolific and artful.  Typical tags, throw-ups, and more elaborate street pieces become a whole language that informs his studio works. Equally disciplined in traditional painting and printmaking techniques, Sweet Toof masterfully blends urban detritus with bygone decadence. Fusing ancient methods with modern materials, Sweet Toof’s imagery combines layers of historical and current cultural references to create unconventional, iconoclastic art that is at once both traditional and contemporary.
