AvantGraffiti

.
So I decided to carry this idea of calligraphy/graffiti further by Googling abstract graffiti and was pleasantly surprised at what I found. The artist here, is James Choules aka SheOne.
The image is from a live painting segment from his Show in Hong Kong as posted in HongKongHustle.


Whether this type of thing wets your whistle or not, it'd do you good to take a peak at this other culture for a minute; not every artist comes out of art school. And regardless of whether it's done in a studio, gallery or under a bridge, there's a lot of good avantgarde art being made today. What's most fascinating is noticing how historical, academic art influences these artists works

You can visit his Website and there's a short Bio Here.

This first video includes segments of interview that help fill in the blanks about his career..

The one below from Vimeo, where you'll find 5 more vids of his work, is much brighter and lighter
