FINE ARTS KL'S

CONTRIBUTION TO

GRAFFITI ART IN MALAYSIA.

There are a large number of graffiti influences in Southeast Asian countries that mostly come from modern Western culture, such as Malaysia, where graffiti has long been a common sight in Malaysia's capital city, Kuala Lumpur. Since 2010, the country has began hosting a street festival to encourage all generations and people from all walks of life to enjoy and encourage Malaysian street culture.

We at Fine Arts KL have been taking Graffiti Art into homes, corporate offices, place of work and business. Graffiti to us is a relatively new art movement. It not only is young but there's just so much excitement in the work.

Methods and production

The first graffiti shop in Russia was opened in 1992 in Tver

The modern day graffiti artist can be found with an arsenal of various materials that allow for a successful production of a piece. This includes such techniques as scribing. However, spray paint in aerosol cans is the number one medium for graffiti. From this commodity comes different styles, technique, and abilities to form master works of graffiti. Spray paint can be found at hardware and art stores and comes in virtually every colour.

Stencil graffiti, originating in the early 1980s, is created by cutting out shapes and designs in a stiff material (such as cardboard or subject folders) to form an overall design or image. The stencil is then placed on the "canvas" gently and with quick, easy strokes of the aerosol can, the image begins to appear on the intended surface. This method of graffiti is popular amongst artists because of its swift technique that requires very little time. Time is always a factor with graffiti artists due to the constant threat of being caught by law enforcement. At Fine Arts KL, we do not participate in street Graffiti wars but do it with integrity and we always abide by the legal law of the country but do not conform to the norms.
