ONE NIGHT IN PARIS

The urban invasion has begun. Street artist Invader travels around the globe adding a touch of retrogaming swag to the daily citylife routine.
Invader’s minimalist images evoke the infinite permutation of the digital image through the redistribution of a methodological coloured pixel in a grid. Playful and minimalist, the space invader stuck to the wall is a reference for the collective imagination which creates an empathetic link between the mosaics and the city they are in.
To this date, the artist has invaded more than 80 cities throughout the world, connecting them through a web of space invaders he managed to turn into a collective online game. Rad, rad, rad.

SON OF A PREACHER MAN

Stephan Doitschinoff (aka Calma) is a self-taught artist based in Bahia and São Paulo, Brazil. As the son of an Evangelical minister, Stephan spent his entire childhood absorbing the visual vocabulary of religious art. As an artist, he has developed his own unique language and style through imagery which creatively combines Afro-Brazilian folklore with Baroque religious iconography, as well as Alchemic and Pagan symbolism.

Stephan’s street alias, Calma (Portuguese for: Calm) is also a shortened version of con alma (Latin for: with soul). He has exhibited in museums and galleries in the US, Brazil, and Europe.

From the artist: “I personally see the church as an archaic institution that always aimed to control the masses. I think it is an appropriate symbol for corrupt modern institutions like big corporations, media channels, and governments.”

Down below you can watch Temporal, a short documentary about him travelling throughout the Brazilian countryside of Bahia, painting murals where you won't expect to see street art.

BLINKING IN THE DARK

French artist OakOak has an endless imagination. He likes to play with any sort of urban element, and this time he had fun with a crossing light. Blinking all day in a tiny dark room must be really boring.
