Studio Giftig

Netherlands • 2007

Biography

Studio Giftig consisting of the Netherlands-based artist duo Niels van Swaemen (1981, Eindhoven) and Kaspar van Leek (1983, Philipsburg St. Maarten).

They come into contact with each other in 2007, at which time both individuals have been active in street art for some time.

From 2007 the first cooperation projects are picked up and a vacant warehouse serves as base for their studio. Within this warehouse there was a storage room for toxic substances and chemicals, in this storage room they kept their paint and spray cans.

The name Studio Giftig refers to this storage room because giftig is the Dutch translation of Toxic.
