Saddo

Saddo is a creative artist hailing from Berlin, Germany. Focusing on character design and applying it usually with spray paint or wheat pasting. He also draws and illustrates his own stuff. I saw some works of his with layers of plastic to color them with, when I see the article again i will post it.

There is a very subnconcious theme with his works and a somewhat 90's punk rock and metal aesthetic. I like the aggression mixed with humor in his pieces.

Saddo has recently collaborated with east pack back packs and is now continuing work as a freelancer..

Beautiful Losers is a movie about the art revolution of the 90s and how it came to be the movement that people can relate to the most. For all the creative folk out there, this documentary is a must see as it is filled with different philosophies and styles and opinions of creative people that pushed art to a much wider spectrum. Nothing contemporary in here, it's all break - through. That's how it was , and that's how it is. THis movie never fails to inspire the nuts out of me.

Beautiful losers is directed by Adam Rose and features artists such as PARKA , BARRY MCGEE , MARGARET KILGALLEN , ED TEMPLETON , KAWS and MUCH MORE.

SWOON

Thank you so much to Anne and the good people of Gestalten.tv for sending me this video!

Swoon is a street artist from New York who specializes in wheat pasting and focuses on the negative and positive spaces of her illustrations and cut - outs of people in the streets. She understands that there is a certain connection between viewer and the subject on the street and this is what she tries to evoke in my opinion. She is working on a new "boat" project with justseeds (her art collective) and also with other artists. Swoon is one of the most prolific sticker/wheat paste artists today. But she is a different breed of artist in this context as I am glad to see that she is not only doing the visual aspect of street art. But also the conceptual as well seen in her previous work.

This kind of street artist, street context and awareness will I hope one day seep out from the cracks of this city. Don't get me wrong, there already are some out there. I'll feature them soon so keep glued.
