Alex Kanos is from Paris France.
Being a talented graphic & street artist wasn’t enough, so Kanos developed a new art. He has had this art form copyrighted or trademarked. (Can’t remember which)
It begins with scrunched up lengths of cellophane, which are then spray painted first with black. The horizontal streaks are cellophane scrunches.
He then adds color. Here red & dabs of yellow are added to the front.
Finally, purple was added to the back. It shows through to the front. There are other creative applications. Check out Kanos Website to see.
“FESTIVAL” was his second piece, & completed on the 2nd day. The piece he began on the 1st day was cut in half by hooligans during the night. They were caught & slept in jail.
The “F” is near the top of the post. The slideshow features “ESTIVAL”
To enjoy more of his work give Kanos on Instagram a discovery.
TY sweet artist!

Great post..

Street Art has come into its own. It’s a global movement. Even repressive regimes can’t fully thwart it.
yeah, they paint over, we paint again!
😀 😀
hA…….
How talented and wonderful.
Agree, & different!
That’s different, Resa!
Art is certainly going through many changes, as you alluded to in your previous post. This is really ‘out of the box’, so to speak. I can’t help but wonder ~ what’s next?
More exciting change, me thinks! 🙂
xoxoxo
More Light… I believe! 😀 xoxoxo
I like how graphic his art is. I’m also glad to see him wearing his paint spray mask! I’ve seen several youngsters not using them.
Young people have less fear, perhaps that = more stupidity? They should all definitely wear a mask! I see both.
Wow – stunning! So cool – I went to his website to see more and it looks amazing with the light going through it! Really neat you got to see this stuff in person!
I’d never heard of this type of art before. Just think, he made the entire “Festival” piece in 8 hours!
I can never understand how these artists can create something so big and detailed so quickly, although in an impatient world that is probably a good thing.
Kanos did this piece in 8 hours! I think they use spray paint because it’s fast. It is a good thing.
Isn’t it cool?
So cool!!! 😀
Why does my spray paint always drip and their’s doesn’t? So sad that vandals would cut his work.
