“When I did graffiti, I wasn’t into characters, I wasn’t into backgrounds. It was all about the letter-form… how to make that word look f**king dope.” Those are the words of street-artist Ben Eine, who recently displayed his work on walls throughout San Francisco, as well as at a show at the city’s White Walls. WarholianTV got the British artist to speak on his art, his development and more in this video. Watch it below.
“UK based artist EINE spent the month canvasing San Francisco with his stylized lettering. Utilizing the urban landscape of ‘the city’, EINE has impressed with the shear scale of his work. Offering San Franciscan’s simple phrases or words such as “happiness” — his work lets you draw from your own bank of mental imagery. This public execution of street art aimed to offer viewers a more participatory role in the observation and evaluation of artistic creation.”
