Das Buch habe ich nun seit einigen Wochen, bin restlos begeistert und eigentlich ist es längst überfällig, das auch mal hier zu posten!!
HERA & AKUT – two ar tists, who couldn’t be more diffe rent in their sty les as indi vi du als. Howe ver, to gether they’re for ming one of the most in te res ting as piring ar tist-duo no wa days. Their pic tu res are the perfect sym bio sis of snot ty Street Art and rea lism with at ten ti on to de tail.
The book – THE PER FECT MERGE (ISBN: 978-3-939566-24-3) shows in an im pres si ve way that the mix tu re of two such dif ferent sty les can lead to some thing so har mo nic. On the one hand the fe ma le part HERA is using the modern sty lis tic de vice of the urban art – the rough ness of her sket chi ness and the charm of her ty po gra phi cal ele ments from the street, to broach the issue of clas si cal hu ma nis tic ques ti ons.
On the other hand the male part AKUT trans ports the old-fa shio ned tra di tio nal di scipli ne of rea lis tic pain ting to the pre sent by using the me di um spray can. With his abso lu te per fect exe cu ti on AKUT ama zes even hard-boi led graf fi ti ac tivists. At the same time HERA ma na ges to pass very clear emo ti ons by the use of just a few quick lines. The re sult of this com bined work is the fan ci ful co ope ra ti on in many le vels. A harmony of two aest he tics which is uni que, no doubt.
What star ted with first graf fi ti ex pe ri en ces in the be gin ning of the 90s – back then in se pa ra te ways for both of them – lead to the pseud onym HERA KUT. Short ly after that the ex hi bi ti ons and re mit tan ce work from Lon don to Me xi co City fol lo wed.
On 200 co lou red pages the re a der gets an im pres si on of their work of the last coup le of years. THE PER FECT MERGE is a book with lots of de tails made by the ar tists in their own. Over above their un mis t aka ble style adds this book a very in di vi du al touch.
