Stencil History X » A Street Art project for Green Day

A Street Art project for Green Day

Nous avons enfin aujourd’hui accès à toutes les infos concernant le projet atypique et ambitieux faisant la passerelle entre Street Art et musique qui a été organisé autour du groupe Green Day. Logan Hicks, au delà d’être le pochoiriste génial qu’il est, est aussi un fan de die-hard punk-rock ainsi qu’un bon curator comme il l’a déjà prouvé à maintes reprises lors des éditions passées de “Primary Flight” durant Art Basel Miami. Cette fois, il s’est chargé de sélectionner 18 street artistes, chacun ayant eu mission de produire une oeuvre inspirée d’un titre du nouvel album de Green Day, “21st Century Breakdown”. Toutes ces oeuvres ainsi que les portraits des membres du groupe, Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool et Mike Dirnt réalisés par Logan Hicks seront ensuite exposées au fil de la tournée du groupe.
Dix pochoiristes, Logan Hicks compris, sont donc investis dans ce projet qui semble bien plus que commercial : Broken Crow, C215, Lucamaleonte, Chris Stain, M-City, Adam 5100, Peat Wollaeger, Sadhu et Pisa 73. Il semblerait que chacun ait joué le jeu de l’inspiration ou de l’interprétation des morceaux de l’album et le résultat de certains est étonnamment intéressant au regard de leurs parcours. Plus bas le détail des pièces.

We finally now access all informations on the unusual and ambitious project involving the bridge between Street Art and Music, which was organized around the Green Day band. Logan Hicks, beyond to be the great stencil artist he is, is also a fan of die-hard punk-rock as a good curator as he improved during the past editions of Primary Flight during Art Basel Miami. This time he was responsible for selecting 18 street artists. Each of them had to produce an artwork based on a track from the new Green Day album, “21st Century Breakdown.” All these works as well as portraits of the group members, Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool and Mike Dirnt made by Logan Hicks will be exhibited throughout the tour band.
Ten stencil artists, including Logan Hicks, are invested in this project that seems much more than commercial: Broken Crow, C215, Lucamaleonte, Chris Stain, M-City, Adam 5100, Peat Wollaeger, Sadhu and Pisa 73. It seems that everyone has played the game for inspiration and interpretation of songs from the album and the result by some artists is quite surprisingly interesting regarding to their usual work.
