Street art performer!

Oh ya,there is a lot of things to do in this title, street art is any art developed in public spaces.
The term can include traditional graffiti artwork, stencil graffiti, sticker art, wheatpasting and street poster art, video projection, art intervention, guerrilla art, flash mobbing and street installations. After do some research, I decide to do stencil graffiti, it is quite cool for myself. haha!

About Stencil Graffiti

Stencil graffiti makes use of a paper, cardboard, or other media to create an image or text that is easily reproduceable. The desired design is cut out of the selected medium and then the image is transferred to a surface through the use of spray paint or roll-on paint. The process of stencilling involves applying paint across a stencil to form an image on a surface below. Sometimes multiple layers of stencils are used on the same image to add colours or create the illusion of depth.

About Me

My name is Clio Ai, I am stencil graffiti artist and street performer living in Toronto Canada. I like graffiti when I was child. My work general depicts the creative expression, freedom and happiness of life. The idea behind these images is I want to express my feeling and mood in my life.

Because street art is usually considered a crime, artists have to work quickly. One of the best ways to do that is to use custom stencils. I pretty much work alone. I will usually ask people’s opinion on something while I’m working on it, but I do all the work myself.

I’m not exactly sure who my audience is. Besides other street artists and people that are into it. I guess it’s pretty random being that anyone can happen upon it. As for responses, I feel most are positive. I run into people on the street that have seen the work and seem excited about it. Some of them even ask for stickers or posters. I like to know people see the work and react. I hope it will make them think and have some sort of positive effect. I guess really knowing this isn’t that important. But it is interesting to know what people think.

My interest is listen to jazz and hip hop music. I like graffiti artist who is Banksy, his work really express and also influence me in stencil graffiti. I also like another street performer who is Johan Lorbeer, because of his 'Still-Life' Performances, which took place in the public area.

Well in the future I hope to still be making art and I hope it will be on an even larger scale. I would like my work to explore all the tools available to the mass media.
