For over 10 years, TSF crew has brought together self-made artists who have come to master the art of mural painting using spray paint. Coming from many different backgrounds, located on various continents, they are originally Graffiti artists, decorators, photographs, illustrators and have each developed their own fields of expertise. One will put emphasis on lettering or symbolism while the other will focus on 3D or anamorphosis. Some will present a realistic world while others will take us to a fantastic universe, uncluttered, wild or dreamlike.

 

TSF crew is the get-together of all these different skills into common pieces of works. More than just a ‘crew’, the 3 letters represent the trademark of an artist led my several heads, an artist both virtual and real with its many arms and desires. The fusion of many styles thus creates a single style, unique and impossible to forge. Often 3 or 4, up to 9 or 10 when possible, TSF crew artists create over a hundred murals a year. Beautiful, surprising, cruel or poetic masterpieces with redefined horizons, stories told, messages conveyed, dreams, smiles, details…

Orders from the corporate world or from private individuals do happen but TSF main playground remains the vacant industrial lands, abandoned walls whose ears people often forget; Thanks to TSF, these walls are seen again. There is always first the endless discussion between the artists because starting a project means bringing together artistic consistency and the desires and skills of each one. These interactions are precious times that seal the agreement between all artists and validate what each one will bring to the project. Only then can the mural be born, painted by the many hands, some of which will not hesitate to take the same path as others thus mingling the differences to create a unique work.

 

The act of painting is free and limitless. Whatever the country, the size or the form of the support, flowers can bloom from concrete and the eye can be surprisingly deceived. The most visible walls are the ones to be painted over too fast. Others, hidden in places never visited might never be seen. This contributes to the beauty of the oh-so precise gestures that these artists deliver.
