Akim (Vietnam/Germany)

You know what a graffiti tag is? Great! But what paint-roller tagging is will be revealed by Akim. more

Ben Eine (Great Britain)

Ben Eine time and again provides the incentive for embarking upon a treasure hunt throughout the city… more

Boxi (Great Britain/Germany)

No one can meander past Boxi’s photographic images without noticing them, for they are downright brilliant. more

DTAGNO (Germany)

DTagno has proved to be one of Berlin’s permanent graffiti greats. Now he is making idyllic Northern Germany the home of his famous one-line calligraphy. more

Evol (Germany)

Evol toys with urban architecture. Not even a Lueneburg electrical box will be safe from his artifice. more

Faith47 (South Africa)

Faith47 represents perfection and beauty. But also in-depth social critique. more

Flying Förtress (Germany)

Flying Förtress isn’t interested in rules governing creativity or in artistic conventions – in fact, he and his Teddy Troops have declared war against them! more

Hera and Akut couldn’t be more different. Yet they nevertheless prove that opposites do attract… more

Herbert Baglione (Brazil)

Jay One (France)

Jay One counts among the first generation of graffiti artists and certainly didn’t refrain from leaving his mark on the Berlin Wall. more

Loomit (Germany)

Loomit may easily be considered as having been one of the strongest enemies of the Germany railways. Nevertheless – or perhaps precisely for this reason – he is one of the greatest German graffiti legends. more

Mirko Reisser/ DAIM (Germany)

The four letters DAIM not only stand for extraordinary 3D style but also for a legendary figure among German graffiti artists. more

Pius Portmann (Switzerland)

Pius Portmann certainly cannot be pigeonholed, for he is passionate about exploring contradictions… more

Swoon (USA)

Sadly, artists in urban space are still few and far between. But Swoon, a female street artist, doesn’t shy away from enrapturing the city all on her own. more

Tilt (France)

French artist Tilt has a penchant for painting disrobed female bodies. But his bubble styles also enhance public space. more

Trica186 (Germany)

Zevs (France)

Whether visual kidnapping, adbusting, or graffiti guerilla tactics: nary a brand name or advertising poster is safe from Zevs. more

Zezão (Brazil)

While most artists are hankering for attention, Zezão goes somewhere altogether different: to the concealed and sometimes even underground sites found in large cities. more

56K (Germany)

56K uses public space as his platform and makes it difficult for hurrying passersby to overlook him and his works. more
