Scratching Wall Art by Alexander Farto aka Vhils

Posted by on Oct 13, 2010 in AROUND THE WORLD, ART

We want to share with you this inspiring and refreshing wall art by Alexandre Farto, aka Vhils, a Portuguese street artist based in London.  We find his large scale wall art, which involves scratching out human faces on building walls, truly amazing. He takes things further than the usual graffs and stencils, opting for massive etched productions instead, choosing to play with layers and volume to create these unique effects. Take a look at the video after the pictures.
