Sheep (Chen Yang), an artist from Jiazing, China, began graffiti in 2008. Feeling the significance of the present and the practice in every work, and hoping to infect the surrounding environment and people with a more active magnetic field through his work.

Of his work and experience, Smoe says “I met the Hip-Hop movement in a small village in south Italy, where nature shows its grandeur. It was in the late nineties, I was twelve years old, and l started to express myself with graffiti. Since then I have never stopped expressing my creativity and I always brought my art wherever I‘ve been. There are many ways to call what I do, someone says street-art, masterpieces, urban art, writing. But I like to call it all graffiti, painting out of the canvas. Nowadays graffiti is entering the houses of people, and I enter inside with Them. My creativity and everything I do comes from hip-hop culture and writing of the past and from my present life, my travels, work and new influences. For me art and graffiti still are the medium through which I move and I explore the the world.”

Irok was an accomplished artist from a young age growing up in the western suburbs of Brisbane with a graffiti and street art background. This introduced the artist to experimenting with all types of mediums outside of just spray paint. His work now has a strong, confident message and representation of his life and the surroundings around all of us seen through his eyes and presented to others in a very real, moving and visceral fashion with his unique use of brush and acrylic house paint. Originally the house paint watered down to save money, but this slowly became part of the the tell tale signs of the free flowing slightly chaotic yet organic splatters and drips that are generally outside the usual portrait artists focus on fine detail that became his signature work he is known for today. Irok sees his work as being progressive and versatile.
