AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Released in 2014 by Draw a Line, this screenprint represents a key moment in Smash 137’s practice, still closely tied to his graffiti roots, prior to his later shift towards more autonomous abstract forms. The notion of flow, central to this phase of his practice derives from the calligraphic gesture of graffiti. Essential for a collector of graffiti.
• Dimensions: 66 × 46 cm
• Screenprint 8 colors on 300 g Hahnemühle paper
• Signed and numbered 18 of 48
• The print shown in the photographs is the exact one you will receive.
• Shipped securely: rolled in a tube, then packed in a reinforced shipping box
Smash 137 (Adrian Falkner, born 1979) is a Swiss-German artist based in Basel, who comes from graffiti, which he began practicing in the early 1990s. He quickly became known for a body of work focused on lettering, flow and rhythmic writing, developing a personal calligraphic language derived from his name.
Alongside his activity as a writer, he developed a studio practice on canvas and paper, maintaining a direct continuity with the gesture and energy of graffiti while gradually expanding his pictorial vocabulary.
From the mid-2010s onwards, his work evolved towards more autonomous and abstract forms, progressively moving away from legible writing and direct references to graffiti. This 2014 screen print therefore belongs to one of the last periods still fully rooted in Smash 137’s graffiti-based writing and visual language, prior to his shift towards a more distanced abstraction.
