Description from the seller

IGNITION #1
Alexandre Farto aka Vhils
Edition of /90
10" Video screen + ETH NFT
Running time: 30"
Signed and numbered by the artist
Outer dimensions: 11.4 × 7.5 × 1.1 cm
2025

Vhils stands as titan of urban contemporary art alongside legendary figures like Banksy, whose political stencils transformed the medium, and Shepard Fairey (OBEY), who bridged the gap between propaganda and pop culture. Their work shares the same cultural weight as the late Keith Haring, whose rhythmic lines paved the way for street art in galleries, and JR, who uses large-scale photography to turn urban spaces into social statements. Together, these artists have elevated graffiti from a marginalized subculture to a prestigious movement within the international fine art world
