EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SABE’S MASTERPIECE AT THE MONTANA COLORS HUB

The masterful work of art by the Danish master at the Montana Colors HUB facilities gives us the perfect excuse to get a closer look at his style and history. In order to prolong the durability of the piece, we have resorted to the MTN Mural Water-Based Protective Varnish, which also serves as an example of how this tool can be utilized in the graffiti world

VERSATILITY AND HISTORY

Half a year ago, we used an MTN Limited Edition to pay tribute to SABE, a key player on the global graffiti circuit. The documentary we produced served as a summary to configure a complex portrait that could help to explain the importance of this Danish writer in his different directions: his long career, his constant activity, his versatility in considering formats, and his peculiar construction of a style as complex as it is unique.

SABE AT THE MONTANA COLORS HUB

There are many writers and graffiti artists who have wanted to leave their mark at the Montana Colors facilities since Os Gemeos performed on one of the factory buildings in 2004. Almost 20 years later, it is almost impossible to find spaces inside the MTN factory complexes that can be painted. However, in the back of the Montana Colors HUB, a large wall of virgin cement stands as the new medium on which to perform and that SABE has premiered in an almost insurmountable way: a majestic wildstyle, which has caused a furor on his Instagram account. The visit to Barcelona of the standard-bearer of "Free Your Spirit" has been taken advantage of to carry out a mural intervention that is difficult to overcome: a burner of more than 10 m that exhibits the intricate version of the Danish style accompanied by fun and classic characters.

MURAL VARNISH, ALSO FOR THE PRESERVATION OF GRAFFITI

Last fall we launched a varnish specially designed to protect murals, a very useful tool for all work that requires prolonged color durability. Designed for artistic applications, on this occasion the MTN Mural Water-Based Protective Varnish serves to protect the work carried out by SABE, and that we can use to propose the usefulness of this product also in the world of graffiti. At this point, is it necessary to say that graffiti pieces must also receive the same type of consideration as works of art?

The Silence of the Street Art Community is Disappointing

Image
As we are witnessing a genocide unfolding before our eyes in Gaza, hundreds of thousands of people around the world have come together to march and protest in solidarity with the Palestinians and demand a ceasefire. However, I can’t help but feel disappointment with the street art community that is, for the most part, silent, a community that “supposedly” supports underserved communities and gives a voice to the voiceless. Seasonal in Ruins by Escif The contrast between the vocal condemnation of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine by artists who advocate for peace and justice and their relative silence on the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians is indeed striking. While many artists have used their platforms to raise their voices against one form of conflict, it raises questions about the consistency of their advocacy. The situation in Palestine demands a similar commitment to the principles of justice, human rights, and empathy for those affected by violence and oppression. It underscores th

13 DEADLY SCARY GRAFFITI ARTISTS TO CONSUME BEFORE YOU DIE

Image
You don’t have long left to live on this planet, but there is plenty of time left to suffer at the hands of these artists whose dedication to torturing walls and trains knows no bounds. Whether it be through lethal lettering, killer characters or awful abstraction, these unhinged beings live amongst us, living discreet existences during the day before unleashing their evil imaginations by night.

 Extreme warning: the contents of list should only be consumed by human beings with extreme tolerance to disturbing graffiti styles. Tera There seems to be something in the water in Italy that produces artists keen on bizarre textures, organic ornamentation and fungal features. Tera works interact with the abandoned spaces she finds with discomforting results. Kool Func 88 This Frenchman gets his name from Fun Crime, and is a member of the dangerous crews GT and UB.

OKUDA: A LIFE PAINTING FOR FREEDOM AND DIVERSITY

Image
This month at Montana Colors we’ve celebrated #mtnwokemonth: a series of publications and articles on MTN World and on social media highlighting the role of graffiti, street art, muralism and exhibitions in promoting social causes. We can think of no-one better to cap off the month than Okuda San Miguel , a world-famous Spanish artist who makes no secret of the role of his art in the promotion of freedom of collectives of all kinds. MTN World caught up with him during the production of a huge new collaboration in Valencia with Sixe Paredes to talk about social causes in art, the effect of travelling on the environment and his support for the LGBTQI+ community. Are there any artists that you think have an interesting social message? I love Icy and Sot , I think their work is incredible. Besides, I know their backstory: they escaped from Iran because they were going to be imprisoned just for their art, and they have political asylum in the United States. What they communicate in t
