SANTIAGO MAKING A MODE2 PIECE

This article was posted by Bates 1 Day, 4 hours, 30 minutes ago.

“Santiago * Making a false Mode2” - 2004.
“The idea of this experiment was to ask one of the best painter deco cinema, Santiago,
broke the reproduction of masterpiece, to imitate one of the walls, which many consider
a classic graffiti artist Mode2 and to share his impressions. Santiago was immediately
excited about the challenge, especially since I had asked him to reproduce it with brushes
and not with spray paint or airbrush. I think he took three or four days to do this reproduction.
The first two days, I thought it could not be done, that the rendering was not good ... Then slowly,
he picked up his values​​, playing with layers of varnish, the texture of the canvas, and last
night finally appeared similar to that made ​​famous the original painting. Me stating that it
could go even further, but it was another job, “copied false”, whereas here the issue was
to share a way to paint and restore the energy of graffiti . “
