About
This book brings together interviews with seventeen artists who use the stencil technique as a means of expression. The stencil belonging to the world of graffiti, their works can be as much illegal in the street as commercial in galleries. Both the choice of the surface, wall or canvas, and that of the message, rebellious or playful, in fact varies according to each stencil artist according to his personal trajectory and his artistic ambition, in order to highlight this diversity and better understand the ins and outs of stenciling, a discipline of street art still poorly documented, the sample of stencils questioned includes European and American artists to whom the same thirteen questions were asked. Each interview was conducted face to face, sometimes indoors in the studio of the artist concerned and sometimes outdoors during an urban expedition. Recently highlighted by a certain troublemaker named Banksy, the stencil indeed fully deserves its place in the interventionist arsenal of street art and in the growing interest of the public for the irrepressible contemporary movement that is graffiti in all its forms. List of artists: Ben Spizz (FR), Billikid (US), Crisp (AU), Dave Lowell (US), Dipo (FR), Docteur Bergman (FR), ENX (US), Jaune (BE), Jinks Kunst ( FR), Logan Hicks (US), Nice Art (FR), Niz (US), Praxis (US), Raf Urban (FR), Spencer (BE), Stew (FR) and Tripel (US) Ce livre réunit des entretiens avec dix-sept artistes qui utilisent la technique du pochoir comme moyen d'expression. Le pochoir appartenant au monde des graffiti, leurs œuvres peuvent être autant illégales en rue que commerciales en galerie. Tant le choix de la surface, mur ou toile, que celui du message, révolté ou ludique, varie en effet selon chaque pochoiriste en fonction de sa trajectoire personnelle et de son ambition artistique. Afin de mettre en évidence cette diversité et de mieux comprendre les tenants et aboutissants du pochoirisme, discipline du street art encore mal documentée, l'échantillonnage des pochoiristes interrogés comprend des artistes européens et américains auxquels les mêmes treize questions ont été posées. Chaque entretien a été mené en face à face, parfois à l'intérieur dans l'atelier de l'artiste concerné et parfois à l'extérieur au cours d'une expédition urbaine. Mis récemment en évidence par un certain trublion nommé Banksy, le pochoir mérite en effet pleinement sa place dans l'arsenal interventionniste du street art et dans l'intérêt croissant du public pour le mouvement contemporain irrépressible qu'est le graffiti sous toutes ses formes. Liste des artistes : Ben Spizz (FR), Billikid (US), Crisp (AU), Dave Lowell (US), Dipo (FR), Docteur Bergman (FR), ENX (US), Jaune (BE), Jinks Kunst (FR), Logan Hicks (US), Nice Art (FR), Niz (US), Praxis (US), Raf Urban (FR), Spencer (BE), Stew (FR) et Tripel (US)
