Description

At second glance, graffiti and sport have more in common than one would initially have thought. Compared to a brush or a pen, creating a picture with a spray can is a practice that requires the entire body. Especially for style writing, the movement of the entire upper body and not just the wrist is central to the swing and shape of the letters. Choosing the right strategy is quite important. Like in team sports, people like to work in a team. 
This little warehouse at the beach volleyball courts was sprayed by the team around Wilda, Lime and Kröti, who have been working together for years. The Équipe Colore chose a desert landscape with palm trees, pyramids and shadowy shadow figures as the background. By using different tones of red, yellow and gold, the trio creates a particularly atmospheric mural with a sunbed flavour. The desert extends across the entire material house and serves as a background for the hot style boards from Lime and Wilda on the side walls.
