Speaking with Flemington, NJ-Based Artist James Kelewae aka Luv One
In both public and private spaces, Flemington, NJ-based artist James Kelewae aka Luv One fashions mesmerizing images that blur the line between graffiti and fine art. His distinct talents remain on view in On and Off the Streets: Urban Art New Jersey through February 27 at the Morris Museum in Morristown, New Jersey. While selecting artists to feature in the exhibit, I met up with James in Trenton, NJ and had the opportunity to interview him: When and where did you first get up? I first hit a public surface back in 1995 while skateboarding in the Chicago suburbs where I grew up. I was 17 at the time. But it wasn’t until much later, 2006, when I became serious about painting on city walls. Had you any preferred surface back then? Brick. I liked the way it absorbs paint. I also liked getting up on trains with oil sticks. Did anyone or anything in particular inspire you at the time? The thrill of breaking rules. I liked the rush that I got. Do any early graffiti-related memo

FIRE AT WILL: OMARXXXXXXXXXXXXE
Name: Omarxxxxxxxxxxxe Crew: DBD City-country: Copenhagen, Denmark Active since: 2013 Favorite surface: Concrete walls!!!! Personal motivation: I like painting graff because it allows me to express myself. Also, graffiti culture and all the people that come with it, are awesome. Lastly, getting super high off of paint fumes, is a great stress reliever, add spliffs and some young thug, and you’re guaranteed a good time.
