Alexandre Farto (also known as Vhils) is a Portuguese street artist based in London. He uses an interesting etching technique where he secretes explosives beneath the surface of a wall and the detonation process results in his murals taking shape. This collaboration video with Portuguese hip-hop band Orelha Negra shows Farto’s explosive art. Check it below.
Farto also uses less destructive methods to creates his pieces. He scratches and chips away at the plaster on the walls of dilapidated buildings. Those murals are part of his Scratching the Surface series. Have a look at some of them after the jump.
See more of his art on his portfolio.
