This is the graffiti artist duo VIDEO & SCKRE from Austria and Germany painting the MOLOTOW Train not just once but twice. The two combines graffiti lettering with a fictional idea of fauna and flora on large-format murals and canvases.
Their artistic approach follows the credo: Seeing things not as they are, but as we are. It is crucial for this game that you play it without a reason, that it must not have a reason at all. In their artistic search, following the urge to play, they see nature as a sanatorium. Natures forms and constant change are the basis of their work. VIDEO and SCKRE are an artist duo, who form a powerful and inspiring partnership.
They turn the public space into their studio and and use it as an experimental field. The artist duo receive their inspiration from nature and from their travels, observations and experiences. The base of VIDEOs work is the fast and intuitive sketch. She focuses on the characters of animals in motion and transition, while SCKRE connects them with his ornamental, abstract landscapes, letters, shapes and forms. He combines impulses from two worlds – classic style writing on the one hand and his work as a stage painter on the other.
Together both artists often experiment with different formats, materials and techniques, like a few days ago in our backyard at the MOLOTOW TRAIN. Most of the two Wholecars has been spraypainted with the new generation of MOLOTOW Premium, MOLOTOW ONE4ALL acrylic paint and other markers such as the DRIPSTICK.
