Street-art carries thoughts, identity and messages into public space. It is a form of art that had it’s origin in writing. Graffiti evolved from name-tags and brought forth it’s own interpretation of letters and words.
Today the range of activities in street-art is much wider but the simplicity and involvement of clear type remains intensive in it’s effect on passers-by. You can hardly look at a clear writing without ’seeing’ it - without having already read it. Typographic pieces that play with shapes and pictures allow to see the type on multiple layers freed from it’s semantics.
