FUKU SHIMA
This is spring and as we begin to say bye to winter, the weather is getting better. For many months the street art and graffiti scene has been dormant as artists eschew the bitter cold, but as the warm weather returns it is the perfect excuse to step out once again and get moving, what better time than to continue painting. An artist who calls himself FUKU SHIMA recently tagged Friedrichshain in RAW, the East Side Gallery, the Oberbaumbrücke and across Kreuzberg. Including the throw up and paste up styles we have had a whole new project of art added to the walls, a run one at that.
FUKU SHIMA went out on the streets with a few fish leaving behind designs at @ Pirates Berlin, The Alicé Pasquini Mural and RAW Temple.
In addition to the fish some paste ups were made of the ‘fish face’ design left on the East Side Gallery but there were no tags made accompanying any of the pieces. That is why I had to look a bit further to find a name of a completely new works of art. I first discovered this artist admiring stickers showcasing the aesthetics that was present all across the Wrangel Kiez in the Kreuzberg district.
As for the sort of bombing presented above, it is quite interesting as it consist of graffiti styles with street art installation.Very basic but also very eye-catching as well as very enjoyable design which could be included in the streets’ art gallery of the area.n the street art and graffiti scene as the artist avoid the freezing temperatures, but as the mercury rises there is a stirring in the streets, an energy that invites us back outside and the perfect opportunity for artists to get active again. An artist who goes by the name of FUKU SHIMA recently bombed Friedrichshain in RAW, the East Side Gallery, the Oberbaumbrücke and throughout Kreuzberg. Featuring throw up and paste up styles we have had a whole new project of art donated to the streets, ad a run one at that.
FUKU SHIMA hit the streets leaving behind a few fish designs, @ Pirates Berlin, The Alicé Pasquini Mural and RAW Temple.
Along with the fish there were a few paste ups left behind on the East Side Gallery of the ‘fish face’ design but no tags were left with any of the works. So I had to search a little more to put a name to the new works of art. I identified this artist through stickers, displaying the unique style that appeared throughout the Kreuzberg district known as the Wrangel Kiez.
This sort of bombing is rather interesting as we see a blend of graffiti styles mixed with street art installation techniques. Quite a simple design but also attention grabbing and a really fun design to add to the street art scene in the area.
