Tec
Besides doing walls, Tec is known for his cheering imagery at children hospitals (“Hospital de Niños”). Also catch the fire by watching the trailer for his Ruta 9 movie – a documentary about Argentinian wall paintings.
Escif interview & show
Excerpt from this Escif interview. Solo show at Montana Gallery Barcelona at the end of this month.
“Which artist(s) do you admire, or are influencing you at the moment? Are there other artists in Valencia you work with?
There are many different artists I admire all over the world; Blu and his awesome murals, Herbert Baglione’s elegant and big paintings, San´s crazy drawings, Hello Monsters shiny and mad installations are just some to mention. I have lot of respect as well for many different artists that don’t work in street art, like Mauritzio Cattelan, Santiago Sierra, Felix Gonzalez Torres, as many others. In Valencia generally I work on my own, but I also enjoy working with On_ly (as well with other members of XLF), with DOCS (Graffilia), and recently with Hyuro.”
