Parallel Kingdom by MadC

"For more than 10 years, graffiti in all its facets and controversy is an inherent part of my life. As soon as I became part of the graffiti culture, I found myself facing a flood of disaccord and conflict. In graffiti, no grey exists – only black and white. As a graffiti writer, I was insulted, praised, roared at, gazed at in silence, I was paid and had to pay, I stole and was stolen from, I came across comprehension and incomprehension – from both: law-abiding citizens and fellow graffiti writers. While politicians enact and tighten laws, tabloids complain about tags and house owners are angrily cleaning their walls, graffiti writers elect their kings and queens, celebrate calligraphy as a culture and adore locations other people anxiously avoid. Two worlds that exist side by side but rarely meet. In the streets, I write my name and I celebrate the beauty of letters and colours. In my art, I try to connect the contrasts I come across while doing so. I work with my favourite tools, spray cans and letters but I connect them with a medium that every person considers as precious, clean and exclusive and thereby I question the notions of both sides. All the cans used here are Belton Molotow and Belton RAL 400ml which were first used to paint walls and were „recycled“ afterwards." MadC 2009

The cans are handmade by MadC, customized and designed with rhinestones, gem stones and crystals. Be sure to see more of these amazing artworks soon. 3 more exclusive photos after the jump

Graffiti celebrates 10 years at Roskilde Festival

When Bob Marley played at Roskilde Festival in 1978, Talking Heads in 1979, U2 in 1982, Metallica in 1986,Radiohead in 1997 and Snoop Dogg in 2008 (just to mention few among countless artists), Roskilde has again and again demonstrated that this is the place to experience new, sprouting names, contemporary stars and timeless legends. Roskilde Festival has surprised its audience throughout history, and you can prepare yourself to be surprised again. It is not only musical experiences that await the audience when the festival site and its seven music stages open on Thursday 2 July.

This year, graffiti art celebrates its 10-year jubilee at Roskilde Festival. The celebration is carried out with an international lineup of world-class artists such as Swet (DK), Take2 (AUS), Sirum (AUS), Rens (DK), Sek (DK), Slide (GER), Poet (GER), Kacao77 (GER), the TOYS Crew (DK), Inti and Hes (CHILE), Soten (DK), Zombie (DK), MadC (GER) and many many more  who will decorate more than 1000 metres of fence with all kinds of colours, subjects and messages. And Graffiti at Roskilde is not only for the few. If you have a hankering for expressing yourself and are game for taking on spray cans, hand ‘tags’ and painting masks, just show up at Roskilde Festival’s graffiti workshop at Agora B around the skate ramp. From Sunday 28 June to Wednesday 1 July from noon till night, you can be guided and misguided by Roskilde Festival’s graffiti girls.

Plenty of paint has arrived, we will go for regular updates on this here at the Molotow Blog! (Link Roskilde Festival)

The Dragon Wall

One wall, 8 meters high, 160 meters long (26,3 x 525 ft), 4 days, 9 writers and a lot of Molotow paint. For what? MadC has painted her biggest character ever, Loomit painting clouds for a couple of hours, 8 writers "tattooing" their name on the dragons body and to see how Molotow paint works under terrible weather conditions, rainy days in Duisburg but fresh Burner done by the Molotow and Friends from England, Australia, Germany and Denmark. See the final wall without scarfolding and the photos of the Molotow and Friends Teamwork right here
