DAIM

Have loved this artist's work for many years. It is absolutely amazing how he can portray so much 3D space on a 2D surface. Love the architectural quality.
'Form is created by a few lines, colour becomes an emotion, and shapes reminiscient of architectural elements grow and extend into space. Still plains contrast with dynamic elements which divide and cut across the image.
DAIM succeeds in balancing a variety of content and techniques with his individual style. His geometric figures and letters obey the laws of light and shadow but defy gravity and curve space. The beholder is sucked into the image or feels transported to new dimensions.' (http://daim.org/site/en/about/)

Using mostly the letters of his artist's name DAIM- (real name Mirko Reisser) he creates colourful and dynamic works on canvas, and walls of galleries and streets, also taking his work into sculpture.

Bottom image is a canvas, rest are live public art. really like the combination of textures, both from the surroundings, and from his use of paint textures on the canvas. His use of light and shade is optimal in his work, never using a solid outline as was so common in traditional graffiti writing. All incredible, I could look at his work all day.
