The 'graffiti calligraphy' is a social-phenomenon of our time. In the world of art, its power as counterculture and nonconformism vehicle is being tested over the years.
Its strength lies in the urge for communication, visibility and need for awareness of those secluded of civil- and monetary processes; like a dirty cry out in the face of the urban centres.
Some artists stand out in the current scenery, with actions that are a mix between graffiti and institutional calligraphy. 'Tinta Fresca' (Wet Paint) from Rio de Janeiro, is one of those.
Photographer and video maker Jonas du Pin takes an interesting approach on the artist's work, emphasising all his research on calligraphy and how the work interacts with architecture and other elements.
