Kayone

Kayone is the tag name of Italy’s Marco Montavani, a pioneer in Milan’s graf scene who has been bombing like mad more canvas than concrete in the past year. He’s moved on to develop a beautiful fine art style using his usual favorite writing utensil, the spray can, plus the more conventional artist’s paint, creating a scene of colors blending into one another with drips and lines of contrast for an ambient feel that remembers Jackson Pollack. Kayone’s one of the handful of Italian street artists picked to showcase new works in the much-attended and very awesome Street Art show running in Sao Paulo’s MAC exhibit space till the end of March, which unites that country’s street artists with their colleagues in Brazil. All of Kayone’s canvas works here are worth burning time to check out.
