Artist Focus: BONOM

[youtube nsW7f30oT34]

Si vous prenez de temps en temps le train entre la gare du Luxembourg et la gare d’Etterbeek, cette animation doit vous sembler familière. On la doit à BONOM et LORK, deux artistes que j’apprécie beaucoup! Clin d’oeil aussi à eMich pour avoir filmé/photographié cette oeuvre qui prend tout son sens avec la vidéo.

Cette animation (qui date déjà un peu) est l’occasion pour moi de vous présenter quelques une des oeuvres de Bonom que je croise régulièrement au détour des rues et ruelles de Bruxelles.

J’essaie aussi d’avoir une interview avec lui pour mettre sur mon blog…on verra si ça abouti (d’ailleurs si quelqu’un a son contact, qu’il n’hésite pas à me l’envoyer!). Quoiqu’il en soit, voici une petite série de photos pour vous montrer le talent et l’originalité de cet artiste urbain.
Toutes les photos ci-dessous sont issues du Bonom Pool (Flickr).

Advertising is the vandalism of the Fortune 500. And despite that, we still don’t like it.Between October 2006 and December 2006, the City of New York has removed or obscured 59 illegal banners on sidewalk sheds. In that same period, Citibank Chase was forced to remove all illegal sidewalk projections at branches around Manhattan. And now, years into NYC’s crackdown on graffiti writers and protesters, after we’ve watched our friends be detained, arrested, beat, fined, tried, and given real jail sentences, not a single corporate toy from any ad firm has had to do any time.This could mean only one thing. They’ve called off the law. Open City. Let’s all get to work.This is the first collaboration between the Anti-Advertising Agency and Graffiti Research Lab. Modified from Ji Lee’s Abstractor TV. We used black foam core ($10/sheet) cut with a laser cutter – however, this project can be done with an x-acto blade, black construction paper, and duct tape for next to nothing. It can be repeated using any backlit display – bus shelters, display ads, television store windows… dream big, act now.Download 1024 x 768 animated gif below:
