Smash 137 Goes Big for the Volta Art Fair in Basel

This article was posted by Senior Editor 10 months, 2 weeks, 1 hour, 22 minutes ago.

As part of the annual Volta art fair in Basel, Switzerland last month Smash 137 painted a huge graffiti based mural on the exterior of one of the buildings as captured in this video.

Here’s what Volta had to say about it:

“Finally there was Smash137, the Basel-based graffiti artist whose towering, multihued tag blossomed across a building near the Dreispitzhalle. It was a week-long work in progress, considering Tuesday and Wednesday’s rain, but at completion the vibrant transformation of a graybrick wall to evaporating tonal gestures acted as a beacon on the Münchensteinerstrasse, and echoed smashing successes at VOLTA8.”

This video was posted by Bates on his blog on 12ozProphet. Additional images from Smash 137 and Volta.
