Chilean muralist Inti to No Limit Street Art Borås

Muralist devoted to street art, specifically to graffiti, since age 15. In parallel he studied at the Fine Arts School of Viña del Mar. Despite criticism from detractors of artistic expression in public spaces, his works won a space on the streets and buildings of Valparaiso, first, and then in cities all over the world. Based in Paris right now, he has established himself as a benchmark of street art, muralism and international graffiti, being constantly invited to festivals and exhibits related to avant-garde art in South America, Europe and the United States.

Inti was born in Valparaiso, Chile 1982. Inti´s work is mainly inspired by pre-Columbian and Andean cultures, rescuing and redefining iconography and symbols that are both ancient and contemporary. Currently, we can find his mega murals in countries as diverse as Lebanon, Norway, Bolivia, Poland, Puerto Rico, France, Canada and others. The list keeps on growing with his frequent travels.

- Inti was one of my first choices back in 2013 when we started to look for artists for No Limit 2014. Unfortunately he couldn´t make it to Sweden by then so I´m really happy that he accepted our invitation this time. Inti´s work is really iconic and his large murals are both mystic and beautiful, says curator Shai Dahan.

- I´m really looking forward to see Inti´s work in Borås. His colossal murals got a special kind of mystic energy and bright colours reminding of the latin culture. The only thing I could wish for is higher buildings in Borås, says project manager Stina Hallhagen.

No Limit is an outdoor art event inviting artists from around the world to participate in turning public spaces into an outdoor exhibition. The event is about all kinds of street art, from large scale murals to street art sculptures and installations. No Limit first saw the world in September 2014. 2015 we´re doing it again. A warm welcome to Borås, Sweden 3-6^th of September 2015.

Artists line up will be revealed continuously from now on – stay tuned for further artists and more information.

Chilenska muralmålaren Inti till No Limit Street Art Borås

Muralist som sedan 15 års ålder ägnat sig åt gatukost, speciellt graffiti. Under samma tid studerade han på Viña del Mar konstskola. Trots att han i början fick kritik för sitt konstnärliga uttyck i det offentliga rummet, fick hans konstverk pryda Valparaisos gator och byggnader. Idag finns hans konstverk spridda i städer över hela världen.

Idag lever Inti i Paris och han har etablerat sig som ett riktmärke när det gäller gatukonst, väggmålningar och internationell graffiti. Han blir ständigt inbjuden för att delta i festivaler och utställningar med anknytning till avantgardistisk konst i Sydamerika, Europa och USA.

- Inti var ett av mina toppnamn redan 2013 när vi började leta efter konstnärer till festivalen 2014. Tyvärr kunde Inti inte komma till Sverige då så jag är väldigt glad att han tackade ja till vår inbjudan den här gången. Intis verk är verkligen ikoniska och hans stora muralmålningar är både mystiska och vackra, säger curator Shai Dahan.

- Jag ser verkligen fram emot att se Intis verk i Borås. Hans kolossala muralmålningar har en särskild mystisk energi och färgerna påminner mig om latinamerikanska kulturer. Det enda jag möjligen hade kunnat önska mig nu är högre byggnader i Borås, säger projektledare Stina Hallhagen.

No Limit är en street art festival som bjuder in konstnärer från hela världen att delta i förvandlingen av det offentliga rummet och skapa ett gigantiskt utomhusgalleri. Festivalen innehåller alla typer av gatukonst, från muralmålningar till skulpturer och installationer. No Limit såg dagens ljus första gången i september 2014. 2015 gör vi det igen. Varmt välkommen till Borås 3-6 september 2015.

Konstnärerna för No Limit Street Art Borås kommer att släppas löpande. Håll dig uppdaterad på nolimitboras.com för vidare information.

Joe uses layers of hand cut paper and spray paint to create texture and form - a modern adaptation of an old-fashioned printing process. His art is nothing more than the exploration and documentation of personal experiences. These are his stories and how he choose to tell them. The site-specific placements of the pieces often utilize the urban environment to complete their narratives.
