Street artist Alexandre Farto Aka Vhils

Today I bring you Alexandre Farto's artwork. Maybe you have heard a lot about street artist Banksy. Now it's time you meet Vhils. He's Portuguese. Curious? Right! Check Vhils site and you'll be amazed by what he has already created. Read what Lazarides Gallery wrote about him:

Our youngest artist, the already prolific Portuguese-born Alexandre Farto's range spans from collage to portraiture. Of late he's taken to creating works purely from in situ materials, taking Vandalism as art to its logical ad absurdum conclusion. Advertising hoardings are torn to make fresh images, and plaster drilled away at until the remaining relief forms the work. He is, at the time of writing, experimenting with a cocktail of Quink ink and household bleach. But this is a long way from brutalism. Vhils art is poetic, complex, and ambitious, often focusing on the needs we have abandoned in favor of our wants, and the realization that trading pleasure back in for happiness will be a less than straightforward exchange.
