Our partners, Instagrafite, recently curated the first edition of O.bra, a street art festival in São Paulo, Brazil. The festival invited artists from across the globe and featured a diverse line-up of talent. Members of our team had the opportunity to attend O.bra and witness the creation of many incredible murals. Check out some of our favorite below!
An upcoming artist in our line-up for A Global Street Art Story, Yazan Halwani is one of the youngest and most notable street artists to come from Lebanon. Blending Arabic calligraphy, geometric patterns, and portraiture, Halwani uses urban landscapes to tell stories of his people and culture.
The latest edition of A Global Street Art Story bring us to Egypt with the print No to Stripping the People by Bahia Shehab. Resulting from the past and present turmoil in Egypt, the print is representative of the street art created during the country’s recent revolution. When protests and revolts filled the streets of Cairo in 2011, Shehab began spraying images of No in the streets: no to dictators, no to violence, no to injustice.

When exploring some of Montreal's best bars and restaurants, you have probably come across the work of interior designer, Amlyne Phillips, founder of La Chambre Design. Her classic style, found in Apt200, Suwu, L'Gros Luxe, the newly opened Jatoba as well as others, is a fusion of charming antiques with modern trends that creates an ambiance that is as cozy as it is hip. Not to mention, she often incorporate the work of Station 16 Gallery, contributing an eclectic edge into her designs.
Pour la dernière édition de notre projet A Global Street Art Story, nous sommes heureux d'annoncer que Rone représente l’Australie. Bien connu pour ses portraits de femmes, en particulier l'image récurrente de Jane Doe, Rone a conçu une sérigraphie pour la Galerie Station 16 qui s’aligne parfaitement avec son style classique. Comme on le voit à travers son travail, les représentations viscérales de Rone, toujours coupées pour que l’on ne voit que le visage, mettent en scène le regard intense et perçant d'une femme, qui a la capacité de captiver et d'hanter le spectateur.
For the latest edition of A Global Street Art Story, Station 16 Gallery is excited to announce that Olek is representing Poland. The 6-colour silkscreen print with 3D puff ink and crystalline is the first print for the crochet artist. The extent of Olek’s crocheting abilities is nearly infinitesimal, transforming everything from cars, billboards, everyday objects, public sculptures, trains, and even people into her crocheted masterpieces. Always daring, her work is consistently witty and whimsical, often exuding political and social undertones.
Pour la dernière édition de A Global Street Art Story, la Galerie Station 16 est heureuse d'annoncer que c’est l’artiste Olek qui représentera Pologne. La sérigraphie en six couleurs avec encre 3D et cristalline est la première réalisée par l’artiste de crochet. L’étendue des capacités en matière de crochet d’Olek est presque infinie, puisqu’il transforme tout : des voitures, des panneaux, des objets du quotidien, des sculptures publiques, des trains et même des gens à travers ses œuvres d'art. Toujours audacieux, son travail regorge d'esprit et d’éléments fantasques, sous-tendant souvent des connotations politiques et sociales.

Using images of Hollywood icons and fashion models, the New York based artist DAIN juxtaposes celebrity icons, creating hybrids that dissociate the familiar to create something surreal. Coupling male and female identity, playing with proportions and contexts, DAIN unified characters, which simultaneously complements and detracts from the whole. In his correlated images, our idealizations of these famous personalities become empty. This month, Leanna Valente, author of Art & Fashion, was given the opportunity to interview the artist.

Station 16 and Instagrafite have come together to produce the fun and creative t-shirts, with prints designed by a few of the street art community’s very best. With such a diverse group of artists coming together for this project, Station 16 and Instagrafite . Here we’ve taken a closer look at each artists’ unique style, and a bit of background information.
You all know the work of 123 Klan, but for those of you that don't... you may find it strangely familiar. It may be because of their significant character and letter style, but more likely it's due to the fact that they are one of the most contracted graphic designers in the urban scene. With clients like Nike, Pepsi, MTV and Vans, it's no wonder their imagery may seem familiar...
