The trio that collaborated on this piece was Orion from Italy , Mak1One from South Africa and the Silex Project from France.
The lettering that spells “Origine” was created by Orion from Venice, Italy. He is well recognised for his finesse to the contemporary 3D style lettering which references old school graffiti. He uses a colourful play on geometric shapes and colour to bring life to grey landscapes.
The multi coloured hands depicted in the mural was created by South Africa’s very own, Mak1One. He is one of the South African graffiti art pioneers and has been crafting since the early 90’s. The hands are distinctively from Bushman descend and was intended to embody the multicultural yet ever the same nature of man.
The launch of this mural which signified the union of these three nations through art was our most internationally significant mural yet. It demonstrated our intention to create unlikely yet mutually serving relationships that extends beyond borders. From inception, we have set out to create links between artists, communities, businesses and civic society in a way that changes lives on a micro and macro level.
