“NENE”

by Joram Roukes

Also known as the Hawaiian goose, the once common nene is now the world’s rarest goose. In 1952 the population was as low as 30 birds but by 2004 it’s estimated that there were 800 birds in the wild and another 1,000 in protected environments. For the 2017 edition of Pow!Wow! Worldwide’s flagship festival in Honolulu’s Kaka’ako neighborhood, Joram Roukes says he returned “to where it started,” drawing birds—only on a much larger scale—painting “Nene” on the Ward Centre parking structure entry on Auahi St. Trained as a fine artist Roukes uses “abstract narratives and figures that evoke introspection and contemplation” to comment on a range of personal, global, and cultural issues.  @joramroukes/  @powwowworldwide/  @wardvillage/

BROKEN

by Joram Roukes

Born in Lelystad, the Netherlands, Joram Roukes won an award soon after earning his BFA that enabled his moving to Brooklyn for a 4-month residency. Expressing to Widewalls that his strength as a painter has also sometimes been a hindrance to his decision-making, Roukes said he has been heavily influenced by graffiti art: “it gave him a sharp eye for the ‘dirty edges’ of society and ability to see beauty in decay.” Roukes’ layered reassemblies of different realities often use animal features substituted for human parts to evoke certain associations and offer personal reflections, but he does not like to include human faces as portraits would make the work about an individual person. This 2015 painting at SE Stark and SE MLK in Portland, Oregon was created for Forest For The Trees Northwest.  @joramroukes/  @ffttnw  @gage_gage_gage  @wdwlls

Perspectives on Street Art EDITO #53 | December 2020 – January 2021 What are the perspectives for Street Art? Let’s put on the rose-coloured glasses and imagine a brighter future, without forgetting the rough time many of us are going through. As we stated in the last issue, Street Art, like the phoenix, rises from the ashes. Sometimes, perspective is simply a matter of viewpoint, just like a virus can also be a good thing with urban and viral invasions of the type Invader was here. Or maybe of visual impressions, like the illusionist artists who play with our senses and give rise to immersive murals with strokes of paint and genius. KATRE’s lines boldly remind us that you should not believe everything you see. Looking for new perspectives, we will have a joyful swim in the Molitor pool, where Tarzan’s feats paved the way for generations of street artists: an underground version of Street Art followed by a more official one. One place, several perspectives. While we wait for the full reopening of the Molitor, let us take you to the rich and vibrant South African Street Art scene with a trip to Cape Town (ZA). A vitality that draws on a cultural melting pot as well as local wildlife, an inexhaustible source of inspiration. ROA, too, draws on wildlife, and on local fauna in particular, to catch our eye wherever he goes. We will continue our journey with a stop in the world of Gabriel Moreno, which gathers in a refined style, femininity, overconsumption and violence; before moving on to the original universe of LADY AIKO; and Joram Roukes’s exceptional accumulations and collages. And last but not least, we will follow the tracks of urban archaeologist Vhils and discover new faces marked by hardship. The entire team of GraffitiART wish you Happy Holidays and may the New Year 2021 be full of revival. Take care. Stay safe. . @vhils @katre @gabrielmorenoart @ladyaiko_nyc @joramroukes @all @mltrparis #vhils #roa #katre #gabrielmoreno #ladyaiko #joramroukes #invaderwashere #scaf #astro #capetown #molitor #illusion #streetart #muralart #london #graffitiartmagazine @spraybud (à Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIDzI-8J6PS/?igshid=195wwzvfad72t
