To launch Adidas' End to End project in the US… the 7 invited graffiti artists(Can2, Atom, Rime, Scien, Siloette, Skore, and Smart.) who worked on the project will be painting a life size subway car in Manhattan..
Known for continually pushing the limitations of lettering, Rime's pieces are a combination of vivid colours, cartoon-style outlines and bold tags. As one of the most-respected writers working in the US, his graffiti artwork has influenced many other artists both within and outside the graffiti world.
He currently resides on the West Coast of the United States, where he works on a variety of art-based projects.
Combining traditional New York lettering with creative hand styles, Smart has quickly become a name to be reckoned with. All of his work has a raw and 'funky' twist to it, utilizing great colourways and inspired detailing. Smart's induction into one of the most credited graffiti crews around cements his repertoire and, whilst his base is in Italy, his work is recognized throughout the world.
Skore's contribution to the UK graffiti scene is immeasurable. For the past 20 years, he has been a staple part of the subculture, participating in every aspect of the artform.
His development of lettering styles combined with his technical skill and original flair has kept him as a primary influence for many graffiti writers worldwide. He is currently creating the definitive archive of London's graffiti history as a personal project, due for completion in 2008.
Siloette's illustrative style of character and letter painting has made her one to watch in recent years. Her incredible use of colour and her unique flowing style combine to make outstanding and memorable artwork. When she is not painting, she works as an illustrator within her own design and printing company, based in the Southwest of the US.
Working alongside his wife Klor, French-born Scien developed the infamous 123 Klan collective in 1992, having started painting graffiti several years previously. Well known for his crisp outlines and clean detailing, his repertoire now extends far beyond purely painting graffiti and the 123 Klan is now established as one of the finest design and illustration agencies in Europe.
Two of the world's most acclaimed graffiti writers, Can2 and Atom have over 40 years' combined writing experience. Their traditional letterforms and characters are matched with searing colourways and incredible attention to detail. Equally proficient in computer aided design and illustration, they are two of the most talented graffiti writers active today and have influenced a whole generation of modern-day graffiti writers
