SWET - BOOK OF THE YEAR
BOOKS · CP006/CP018/CP038 · 2018/2019/2023
Swet's approach on graffiti is always from the original mindset of the culture. From his perspective graffiti belongs in the streets and on the trains. Also after "normal" life get in his way in so many ways he still manage to paint without changing his perspective. Filling surfaces with funky letters, fresh connections and a crazy swing are only possible for writers who can achieve the same energetic performance and quick powerful execution.
