Cambo
(Drawing Artist)
He is a French street artist whose main source of
art is graffiti, he is well travelled and since 2010 he has worked at an
advertising agency as an art director. His work is based on visual hijacking, he
portrays this by using iconic images and turns it into something that he wants to give to the
audience. He feels the world is unfair and tries to reveal this is his work
from culture, identities and financial.

What attracted me to him is the fact that he uses
stencils in order to create his work something that I am doing in my drawing
project. He uses something that people use everyday and is recognised such as
Google, I think he uses it to make people aware of how technology has advanced, dominating people lives and showing it to the world by putting it in peoples faces.
However what interested me the most about his work is the fact that he uses a stencil of
Google (above), and the media of the wood and the paint have combined together to form
something intriguing, I find it rugged, like it s been dated. . He didn’t just
use it as a stencil and throw it away he kept it and formed a piece out of it, this is probably more pleasing to look at then what it has left behind. It has
made me understand that experimenting with different medias is important as it
can create something different and that to keep the item that I have used to
create the stencils as I could find this more useful.
