普雷弗新作品中的涂鸦美学

英国涂鸦艺术家Pref通过独特的多层壁画探索单词和常见短语。他的3D文本被用来创建妙语连篇的组合，通常将一个单词放在另一个单词中，以提供一个多视角的作品。在下面的作品中，青绿色“更明显地变成了鲑鱼色”，而不是简单地扭一扭观众的头。自从20年前开始创作以来，普雷夫一直对挑战涂鸦的美学，他结合印刷术，为绘画文本带来更容易理解的外观。起初，街头艺术家利用字母之间的负空间，最终形成了字母本身。这转化成了他自2010年以来一直在探索的标志性的组合文本风格。从那以后，他一直在推动和试验这种单词重叠的想法，看看能在一个单词的空间里容纳多少个单词，然后慢慢地把它浓缩，简化这个想法，让它变得更清晰，他告诉giant，“这反过来导致更多的‘排版’贯穿我的风格，就像你今天看到的。

British graffiti artist Pref explores words and common phrases through unique multi-layered murals. His 3D text is used to create amalgamations of quippy sayings, often placing one word inside of another to give a piece multiple perspectives.

At first the street artist worked with the negative space between letters, which eventually became letters themselves. This transformed into his signature style of combined texts, which he has been exploring since 2010.“Since then I have pushed and experimented with this idea of overlapping words, seeing how many I can fit into the space of one word, and then slowly boiling it down and simplifying this idea to become more legible,he tells Colossal. “This in turn lead more to the use of ‘typography’ throughout my style as you see today. I have always been interested in the idea of graffiti speaking to the general public, rather than just other graffiti writers, and readable letters or a more ‘typographic’ approach has been a good route to that.”Recently Pref partnered with fellow typographic street artist Gary Stranger to launch a collective titled Typograffic Circle. The group unites artists working in the type-based street art subgenre, and their first self-titled group show is on view through June 3, 2018 at London’s StolenSpace. The exhibition features work by Georgia Hill, Saïd Kinos, All Type No Face, along with Pref and Stranger.
