DALEK & MIKE GIANT EXHIBIT

For those of you that happen to be in Paris this weekend, there is a great new exhibit from Dalek & Mike Giant at the Galerie Magda Danysz. This isn't the first time that these two artist have exhibited their work together, I actually have a collaborative print that they did together about 10 years ago, but at this point in their career it is definitely a treat to see both of their work in the same gallery.
Read the press release below.

The Magda Danysz gallery is pleased to welcome two major artists from the street art culture who have developed a style of their own : Dalek and Mike Giant. Though they have very different styles they talk about the same culture, the same influences, the same world.

Dalek is one of the artists who as Shepard Fairey, Dave Kinsey, and Twist (aka Barry McGee) is taking the old school styles of graffiti and while exposing the work to whole new audiences at the same time.

Mike Giant has added the whole tattoo culture to his graffiti background. He started writing in 1989. Early on, he was influenced by his graffiti partners a lot, as well as by writers like Twist, Rem, and KR. A habit he has kept from his graffiti years as now, Mike Giant uses words as the building blocks of language.
