EPOS 257's Paintball
If you've ever heard Sara and I talk, then you know how much we love projects like EPOS 257's paintball splattered billboards in Prague.
We love a short phrase in his artist statement in which he calls his work - "a gesture expressing an opinion".
Because Street Art is ephemeral. And because the artist is always risking arrest. Every piece of street art is to us - "a gesture expressing an opinion"
From EPOS 257:
"Shooting into the white surface of vacant billboards with a paintball gun – blank canvasses in an urban environment, a gesture expressing an opinion and at the same time abstract painting in a urban environmemt."
