CER of Outsign Crew, China: “I look at social media as an online MoS!”

0415 8 - Meeting of Styles: International Street Art & Graffiti

Another far travelling artist to represent at MOS Germany is CER of Outsign Crew, coming from GuangZhou, China who has been keeping his name a secret and is painting for nine years.

“Graffiti is a part of my artistic expression. I have done canvas work and dabbled in music, but for now graffiti is my profession. I look at social media as an online โ€œMoS!โ€ย  It is a good way to communicate, but like anything else, it has its good and bad sides. Its easy to come up with โ€œInternet Style, both writing and street art.

Guangzhou is a comfortable and chill city, but it lacks support and nourishment for public graffiti. The scene here is one the four, best developed graffiti scenes in China. Legal walls here have a good chance of staying up for a while, but it really depends on whether it is a private or government project.

With private or government projects, they donโ€™t really respect the artists style. The only true freedom is illegal graffiti, but they donโ€™t stay up long, mostly only being seen through social media. I think big scale muralism is unavoidable. Its been that way for as long as people have been painting. For example, the large-scale murals that adorn the walls of churches and chapels. I am happy that the art form is becoming more widely accepted. I hope that this trend catches on in China, so more artists from here can be seen on a more international scale.
