My interests tend to be separate to contemporary and street culture. I also like to nod to current affairs, and societal trends, or even advertisements in the form of parody or caricature. My painting is influenced directly by everyday life, reflections on love or on the meaning of life. What are the main themes and influences in your street work? “D’AiLLEURS C’EST TOUJOURS LES AUTRES QUI MEURENT” – deathly symbolism at an abandoned space.

BORIS GRAFFITI 5.2.3 SERIES
Sometimes, I’ll do a series of skulls or skeletons identical to the way one might tag, just to invade the neighbourhood a bit. But, rather, I consider myself a painter, even if my practice is drawn from the legacy of classic graffiti. Most of the people who notice my work now recognise me as a street artist. I like the contact with inaccessible places, such as roofs or very dark tunnels. I love painting generally, but I also like the sport of graffiti, although, today I venture less often into dangerous places, where fitness is important. The same year, I started painting trains and tunnels.Īt that time, I was doing letters like everyone else, but stopped after a few years, but my passion is now back, in a different visual form, while still keeping the same tools and media. When I was able to start going out in the evening, I was able to get into more serious plans and I started doing chrome and black graffiti along the highways. To practice, I took the overground train, the RER, during the week to go to school – which added time to my usual route – to tag the insides of the ligne B. I immediately became hooked, and home made a marker using Baranne shoe polish, with a sports sock added to make a bigger impression. I was young and couldn’t go out in the night, so I was limited to watching others prepare their graffiti trip. It was my older brother who first introduced me to it. I started painting graffiti in 1997 in Paris’ southern suburbs. Tell us a little about your artistic background and how and why you got into street art… Paris truck graffiti art similar to the social commentary of Mexican cartoonist, José Guadalupe Posada. Mygalo and Boris street art collaboration. (Top – first) “L’AMOUR NE MEURT jAMAiS SEUL” – Paris truck graffiti art. Here’s an interview with him, as follows: Truck graffiti culture in Paris is the most sophisticated of its kind anywhere in the world, “base street graff’”, by the likes of Horfé and the Peace And Love (PAL) crew, for example, often done on trucks and vans as random acts of dissent and invasion of people’s private property, but generally there’s not much going on with it past the initial emotional and colourful thrust.ĭue to its cartoonish presentation – and my own ignorance of turn of the nineteenth century Mexican political cartoons – only once I dug deeper into this cohesive body of new truck art, and unearthed the identity of its author, did my senses truly get brought to life as to the brilliance of Mygalo 2000. Skeletons and skulls, graphic in the way of typo-graffiti, but carrying messages tied to death, love, twerking - too intellectual to be merely called ‘graff’.

Not street art, usually, graffiti on Parisian trucks: a new middle area.
