Balance / Styles Collaboration

Evgeny Voronin (Pacer) & Kirill Ashesteen, Moscow
<>
The ex-teammates of TAD (Top and Dope), a renown Russian graffiti team from Saint-Petersburg which became recognized by the world community in 2010s. Since a certain point of time each participant started to develop his own style without losing productivity and performance quality.

This is a borderline work of the first stage of mural festival located at the border of two life areas of Neftekamsk residents: residential and industrial parts of the town. The green swath alongside the roads separates one part from another. Normally, such constructions cannot be noticed in urban environment and are considered as something necessary while nobody notices their massiveness and potential. Almost every courtyard has a technical building which may become a bright art object.

The abstract composition embraces technical buildings over their perimeter attracting attention and creating a bright spot in the location previously being inconspicuous. Bright ‘camouflage’ has the reverse effect: it does not hide anything but creates the integral art object. From a distance color elements remind the clouds, trees crowns or landscape silhouettes. Colored signal stripes are a reference to technical signs: signal bands, retro-reflecting stripes, warning colors of technical constructions.

The essence of this work is the laconic intertwining of two styles and integration of the resulted image into urban environment. The stylized abbreviations of the artists’ names in their individual styles are also integrated in this work. Synthesis of graffiti style fonts composition with strict elements of graphics and design. Searching for balance between two authors for creation of the joint abstract plot on a technical building. Creation of an art object for changing a visual perception of the environment.
