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'.

Michiel Folkers is a mixed media artist living and working in Amsterdam. Selling his work all over the world and exposing in galleries from Zurich to New York. He is best known for his layered artworks, large canvasses, in which he blend colorful streetposters together with spray paint and acrylics. He is pulling and collecting these streetposters himself for every individual artwork and is using this as base for all his pieces.
