Artscape Form mural festival graffiti comic book style painting on the outer a large seven floor bui

ARTSCAPE FORM

Urban art and Augmented Reality

During October 2020 Artscape descended on the Swedish county of Östergötland.


The project ARTSCAPE FORM aims to push urban art forward and involved four different municipalities during a two week production. International, Swedish and local artists were invited to create large scale murals in Linköping, Motala, Mjölby and Åtvidaberg.


A unique twist to the project will be the addition of Augmented Reality – technology that will attach a digital dimension to the art. Artscape regards public space as something fluid with an inherent potential to change form.

Art for Estates  playground mural painted by Captain Kris at Blashford Global Street Art

ART FOR ESTATES

Working with Global Street Art, I painted an entire playground to rejuvenate the walls for Blashford Estate in London.

A creative, bright and bold piece merging both graphic and fun typography with imaginative characters connecting all of the walls.

Comic book inspired lettering and a combination of animal and human characters positioned to interact with other elements on the wall and the viewer. The idea being to engage and interact with kids and adults in the playground and for the walls themselves to become a fun and interesting part of visiting the playground. 

 A positive, modern take on enhancing play for kids and a safe an enjoyable place to visit for the community.

Spotlight Series - Draw The Line is a celebration of the wonders of illustration. Working with Adidas and Creative Debuts to create an exhibition of previously created works and live pieces on the night.


To celebrate the launch of the updated Adidas Nite Jogger, I worked with fellow artists Obit and Hatch to transform canvases live on the night coinciding with a Drink & Draw workshop as part of the festivities.


We then created a mural to promote the Nite Jogger the following week making use of the reflective tape to mimic the hi-vis areas on the trainers.

ARTSCAPE SAGA

A celebration of storytelling and a dip into mankind’s universal richness of myths and folklore.
During three intense weeks in the summer of 2019 Artscape orchestrated the largest Scandinavian urban art project to date. International and Swedish artists were invited to paint 34 murals in 12 municipalities around Gothenburg. 23 of them were free interpretations of classic folktales and myths from different parts of the world. The remaining 11 murals were created together with the local communities and everyone was invited to have a say in the artistic process.
