Ukrainian graffiti

graf.jpg

This gallery of street art from Kiev, Ukraine shows graffiti unlike anything I’ve seen before. It would make my day to walk down the street and see such whimsical illustrations out in the wild.

Anyone able to translate/identify the name of the artist?

    There are several artists listed. Some are initials in Cyrillic and other are in English. I may have found one of the artists sites but I pulled it up and it looked nsfw (and, of course, I’m at work). It looks like the artists are:

    AEC (cyrillic or english)
    Вован (Vovan in english) Try searching for that one, you’ll come up with something.
    Jesto
    Cik (could be Ukrainian or Sik in english)
    Oskes (I think this is his myspace profile)

    Lastly, MK5

    Hope that helps!

    Also, it appears that some of them are based on folk tales.

    the work is by Kiev’s IK (Інтересні казки ≈ interesting cases) crew, and mainly by Aec (mentioned elsewhere as Aectroner). Another member, WaOne, also has a similar style. some more images here: http://englishrussia.com/?p=799

    Wild paintings indeed !

    It really reminds me the work of the Brasilian twins painters “Os Gemeos”.

    A Ukrainian co-worker of mine said it was “a interesting interpretation of classical folk tales.”
