Artist #17 FLEUR OFK

Fleur is an artist from Adelaide, South Australia.

She was first inspired by noticing Tense 73A tags in the area she grew up in, and pieces by Tarns RCF and the Nasty Arts Crew. Also riding the Outer Harbour and Belair Train lines, watching Style Wars, and checking out the latest burners at Sturt Creek (Adelaide’s largest legal wall).

At 17, Fleur finally picked up the can for the first time and was surprised at how well she could control it. A trip to Melbourne followed, which changed everything when she had her first taste of hitting steel.

Nowadays she spends her time furthering her artistic flair by undertaking studies at Adelaide University and working part time as one of the team at Cold Krush Store/Gallery. She also writes with her crew ‘Overdue Funk’.

Artist# 9 Fletch Cuts

Adelaide Represents with another local artist Fletch Cuts. Fletch works works with hand cut stencils, acrylics, oils, aerosol, inks and pastels.

Fletch has easily managed to bridge gaps between mediums with no formal art training. Works including the human face and form and its expressions, to animals and distortions. A 2012 Australian StencilArt Prize finalist, his attention to detail is evident in the clean lines and crisp feel to his multi layered stencil pieces.

Recently his cutting skills have been under the microscope, almost literally. His micro portraits are small enough to fit on a dollar coin, using only spray cans and often consisting of seven to ten layers. His meticulous brush work in various mediums shows an artist very much in control of his craft.

Fletch is definitely an artist to keep your eye on, his work is constantly progressing in unpredictable yet truthful directions
