ALIVE

Spanish artist SpY’s work remains firmly rooted in graffiti, but has evolved over the years to sit alongside other contemporary conceptual artists. SpY is dedicated to exploring word-play and the graphic dominion of text in our everyday life.

Located in the soon-to-be-demolished industrial district of Stavanger, left abandoned during the recent crisis, SpY took full advantage of the natural elements available to him to articulate a message of defiance and resistance to loss and gentrification.
