22 Colour limited edition screen print on 330 gsm Somerset Satin paper by artists Fanakapan & Nuno Viegas titled “Weapon of Choice”. One of 100 limited editions from 2021. Signed and numbered by the artists. Comes with COA.
Fanakapan is a prolific street artist, known for hyper-realistic 3D visuals of real-life objects, most notably, helium foil balloons. Via his sublime skill for highly technical free hand, shadow, and reflective highlights, the artist is able to create flat pieces that pop from the surface, tricking the human eye into believing it’s seeing a real object.
Fanakapan is a self-taught artist with a background in prop design, who started working with spray paint in the early 2000s, ‘running around late at night, putting up stencil pieces in Dorset.’
Since then, he has become the ‘pioneer of balloon graff’, taking his ever-evolving aesthetic around the world. Each of Fanakapan’s artworks reveals a little more about his personality. They are devised to both amuse and provoke deeper thought in the observer.
Nuno Viegas, also known as Metis, is a Portuguese artist born in Faro (1985) and raised in Quarteira. Founder of the art collective Policromia Crew, started his artistic journey with graffiti in 1999.
After completing his studies in Visual Arts at the University of Algarve he moved to Rotterdam, The Netherlands (2014) where he discovered a new artistic identity and began to develop his paintings strongly influenced by the graffiti scene. This has been the focal point of the artist’s production and its greatest source of inspiration.
Nuno presents us with a contrast between the visually aggressive and sometimes dirty reality of traditional graffiti and its peaceful and clean representation in his works. The approach to this theme is a continuous tribute to all those who dedicate part of their lives to this scene.
In 2016 Nuno worked with Street Art Today in Amsterdam which launched the artist into the street art scene rapidly getting the attention of Urban Nation Berlin – Museum for Contemporary Urban Art. Over the following years, the artist has been working with Yasha Young Projects, Graffiti Prints, Thinkspace Gallery, and Underdogs Gallery and we can now see his work expanding through walls and art venues all over the globe always aiming to improve and move towards his dream.
