Short visit Bucharest Romania June 2021

I went to Bucharest to support my kickboxing team Sityodtong Amsterdam for the first post-lockdown ring encounters at the Romania vs Netherlands fight event. Of course I had to meet the local scene. Gipsy Erps welcomed me into the hood where the food was good. We had a look at his show at Galeria Neagra, the smallest but coolest black box street art gallery on wheels.

I painted something over Erps’ work on the gallery’s outside, which had us ‘fighting’ for art instead of for a belt.

We enjoyed a fresh lemonade afterwards, with the team of Unhidden Street Art Romania and some Bucharest Kings and writers. To all of them: thank you for your warm welcome and hospitality!

It’s been a weird year for art, work and especially for traveling for art and work. Due to all corona travel restrictions it wasn’t possible to be in Miami for the Miami Art Week this December..

But I didn’t have to be in Miami to have a bit of art shown. Thanks to the Museum Of Graffiti and Urban Art Now, who made it happen!

The Museum of Graffiti, celebrating their 1st anniversary, installed a new section about female graffiti writers into their current show ‘Style Masters’, with Lady Pink’s first canvas, enlarged photos of burners from graffiti queens throughout graffiti history and more. a.o.: Blue TFP, Utah, Claw, Merlot, Mad C and Miami’s own Reds. My contribution is a photo of a piece from 2003.

Congratulations to the Museum Of Graffiti on their incredible accomplishment to show the art and culture of style writing for one year (and surviving this crazy year).
