streets are talking
TRAFFIC
This is typical Jakarta's traffic. Jakarta is the country's economic, cultural and political centre. Has an area of 661 square kilometres (255 sq. mil). Home to 9.6 million people who at least drive a motorcycle and cars to go to work or to move around the city everyday. It is the most populous city in Indonesia and in Southeast Asia, and is the thirteenth-largest city in the world. Without no decent public transport, 5-10 years from now, is it indeed that Jakarta will have an economic crisis due to the traffic that increase every year. The city still suffers a lack of urban public transport services due to the prioritized development of road networks, which is mostly designed to accommodate private vehicles.

I still can't believe after with all the traffic and bad public transportation, the government still confuse about the solutions. Well, i guess the government need to follow how the dutch manage to change their road from designed vehicles to cycling infrastructure.

Meniti Jembatan Miring untuk Pergi Sekolah ?
foto jembatan di Lebak, Banten, karya fotografer Reuters, Beawiharta
Saya tidak kenal dengan bapak di foto itu, bermodal jas mewah dengan warnanya yang kontras, juga dengan sedikit sentuhan religi bersama sebuah peci haji di atas kepalanya bapak itu dengan tampannya bertengger dengan jari telunjuk menunjuk ke arah barat, dan saya bertanya kepada pak legislatif, apa yang sudah bapak lakukan? apakah kinerja bapak sudah meyakinkan bawahanmu untuk harus memilihmu? dan apa yang bapak lakukan dengan uang 2 milyar itu ? lalu bapak itu menjawab “uang itu untuk makan anak dan istri saya”. Sejenaklah bapak melirik ke anak-anak yang berseragam itu, mereka harus menyebrangi jembatan yang sudah tak layak untuk sampai ke sekolahnya, untuk menuntut ilmu seperti bapak yang berpendidikan.

Sat One Solo Show “Chromolog” Firstlines Gallery
Posted by admin at Jan 19, 2012 in Events, Worldwide Tag Graffuturism 0
Sat One recently exhibited new work for his recent solo show titled “Chromolog” at Firstlines Gallery in Munich Germany. Sat One has established himself as a premier muralist. He takes time away from painting walls and focuses his attention on canvas. Abstract at first glance, but as you look closer or as you step away in Sat One’s case the picture shows itself. Form is hidden in intersecting colors, composition gives way to shapes of soft geometry. This soft geometry is one of my favorite part of Sat One’s work, scaled down to a canvas size the details create patterns. These patterns accidental in nature at at times resemble microscopic landscapes, and at distance resonating shapes of color. It is the earthly palette and clean execution that pull the work all together. A great showing of work from Sat One. Congrats! Show summary below.
GF
“Sat One was born in 1977 in Venezuela and grew up in Munich. A trained graphic designer discovered early his interest in graffiti, but steadily developed a style that denies remote historically evolved forms and imagery, the supposedly superficial beauty. Sat One designed with its non-Euclidean geometric abstractions and futuristic-looking forms a formal but not tangible world, a world in which the spatial effect exists but is not predetermined by classical laws of physics in severity. Sat One tightrope walk between clarity and futuristic constructivist rejection of classical ideas recites defined geometry, microscopic forms, visualizes bold visionary unphysical or ban, in the style of classic science fiction, fantasy and reality to hyperspace on canvas. Sat One appears with its complexity and its precision as an architect of a parallel existing reality, in which the physical form of their building materials, away from earthly gravity, manifesting only in their combination.
Space without dimension, shape, without mass and time are not necessarily linear – the strange and inscrutable, incomprehensible remains immanent and accompanied us on imaginary journeys.”

Artist Feature Sago
Posted by admin at Jan 19, 2012 in Letter, Worldwide Tag Graffuturism 0
We came across the work of Italian artist Sago and we wanted to share his work with you. Sago paints with a clean precise sense of form. His graffiti is a nice cross of representational graffiti with abstract and minimal elements. The artist tends to work in colorful palettes with high contrast. Neon like color palettes to simple black and white renderings, he impresses us with his style and use of color. With floating forms and an excellent use of soft and hard shapes Sago builds a great base for his letter form. He also works on canvas and takes a more abstract approach with these works. You can still see his touch of color and sense of atmosphere in his paintings. Sago is a well rounded and talented artist. We will make sure to share future projects from the artist with you. Here is a brief bio about the artist below.
GF
“Born in Italy, Sago hit the first wall in 1993 at the age of ten. Since then he painted constantly until 1999, when he stopped and concentrated on his university studies in Landscape Architecture; after traveling extensively through Asia and Australia, he came back to aerosols in 2008. Based on the belief that value of contemporary art stands not in the final product but in the idea and in the several steps that generated it, his work tries to tell the story of a continuous process, and this must be the key of lecture approaching both to the typographic studies he makes on walls and the abstract layers he composes on canvases: results of the same process on different surfaces. In 2010 he founded Archigraff, a collective of artists that features RUSL, AROE, ECB, TASEK, SOBEK, KCIS, NYCHOS, STORM, RIFLE, PIXELJUICE, WANY and DERS. It focuses its attentions on urban regeneration proposing art as a solution for visual pollution in the contemporary city.”

Hopare New Walls Update
Posted by admin at Jan 18, 2012 in Other, Worldwide Tag Graffuturism 0
French Artist Hopare has been busy painting new walls. Here is a brief compilation of his most recent work. We were first drawn to Hopare’s graffiti pieces. It is now interesting to watch the artist push more character based themes in his work. We look forward to watching Hopare mix it up with narrative as well as letter based work.
