Yellow smiley on the wall

Toshy stands for authenticity with a touch of rebelliousness. The old-school graffiti vibe will never fade from him. The beauty of true street art and graffiti lies in its impermanence. A painting (not commissioned) on a wall is visible without knowing for how long. When Toshy was 16, he sprayed many graffiti pieces on walls, at night and illegally. Some lasted for months, while others disappeared within a week.

To give permanence to this transience, Toshy occasionally sprays his signature smileys on walls. Photographs of these are available as fine art prints, allowing you to own a piece of Toshy’s work, even if the original may no longer exist at any moment. Unique fine art prints of something that could vanish. A smile on your wall to keep the temporary and authentic essence of illegal graffiti and street art alive!
