STEN † LEX

Sten & Lex sono due street artisti italiani. A partire dal 2009 i loro lavori sono caratterizzati da enormi ritratti, spesso di persone anonime, in bianco e nero costruiti con la tecnica del stencil poster. La tecnica si avvale di un disegno su carta incollato direttamente sul muro dipinto di bianco: il poster. Successivamente si tagliano le parti destinate a rimanere nere. Terminato il lavoro di ritaglio, si dipinge nuovamente la parete di nero con la matrice di carta ancora incollata. Gli agenti atmosferici provvederanno poi a rimuovere a brandelli la matrice rivelando il disegno: lo stencil.

-The little builtding is in Foligno and we did it for a festival called Attack,
involved artists (108, Achille, Carlito Dalceggio, Dem, Ericailcane, Geo Poulidis, Graffiti Barbecue, Hitnes, Kindergarten, Ozmo).

Stencil poster:
-We paste up a poster on the wall,
-then we cut the printed image creating a Stencil.
-we paint over the stencil
-we destroy the stencil, the matrix. the final image take form.

-sten- Lex : "This is the last piece we did in Stavanger for Nuart 2010: " The Landmark series".
We worked 10 days under the rain and it was not the best way of working but the rain helped us with the process of Stencil Poster.
We pasted up a Poster on the wall then we cut it and we paint it like a normal stencil. We were very helped by many people volonteers of Nuart.
We cannot name all of them but really thank you to Kristel, GT, rude,Leon, Martyn and Marte."
