More info:
Michiel Folkers, aka Gieler (1982), started with graffiti in Amsterdam in the late nineties. Years later, he swapped the street walls for canvas in his studio. Much of his work still vividly reflects or evokes the feeling of the streets. Currently, his work is traveling around the world, exhibiting in galleries from Zurich to New York. His work has become especially popular in America in recent years, and it hangs in the homes of several 'famous people'.
