ITS ALL ABOUT MAKEUP: SCRATCHING THE SURFACE WITH STREET ARTIST VHILS
Portuguese street artist Alexandre Farto aka Vhils creates urban art that is really unlike any other street art out there. He not only uses classical graffitti techniques but also manipulates the layers of actual city walls by pouring acid and bleach onto surfaces to unearth the layers beneath. Vhils art is poetic, complex, and ambitious, often focusing on the needs we have abandoned in favour of our wants, and the realisation that trading pleasure back in for happiness will be a less than straightforward exchange. You need to watch this for yourself.
