CALLIGRAFFITI – THE GRAPHIC ART OF NIELS "SHOE" MEULMAN



Street-edge meets high-end design as contemporary Dutch calligrapher, typographer and designer Niels Meulman, also known as graffiti artist “SHOE” from the legendary Crime Time Kings, explores the contours of words as images in "Calligraffiti" - his hybrid art form which blends calligraphy and graffiti. He presents for our viewing pleasure a wonderful interplay of contrasts, such as ‘black-white’ and ‘rise-fall’, with a series of fast phrases and upbeat witticisms in the form of captivating typographic masterpieces.

Urban Art trifft High-End-Design wenn der Künstler, Designer, Typograph und Kalligraph Niels Meulman - aka „SHOE“ von der legendären Graffiti Crew Crime Time Kings - die Formen von Wörtern mit seinen Bildern erforscht. Mit "Calligraffiti", seiner eigenen hybriden Kunstform verbindet er Kalligraphie und Graffiti. Für unser Sehvergnügen präsentiert er ein wundervolles Wechselspiel von Kontrasten – wie "Schwarz-Weiß“ oder "Aufstieg und Fall“- mit einer Serie aus treffenden Slogans und geistreichen Sprüchen als fesselnde typografische Meisterstücke.
