Reflections on Working in Sri Lanka

Abstract

The Wa is a French artist, currently living in Berlin Germany.

His works have included a recycling project with glass bottles, sharing his CV in place of advertising as a way of generating work and promoting his art. He has also been actively writing graffiti in large format fonts that are more mural and less vandalism. His background as an artist from the Basque region remains intriguing because for one he does not have the same ego tagging format as most artists who have a graffiti background. He prefers to not sign his work, but in the style of the medium is the message, his works are immediately recognizable. They are also highly conceptual and witty. In this interview I asked him about working as a street artist in a developing country and the contrast to experiences of working in Europe.
