About the work
VERYONE has been active in Japan’s graffiti scene since its early days. The word ‘VERY,’ which he has been continuously painting for many years, embodies the fundamental act of graffiti: inscribing one’s existence into the streets. From this work, one can fully sense the intensity as if the traces of his movements while painting have been solidified on the wall, as well as the unique spirit and creativity of the street that he has cultivated throughout his journey.
ARTIST
VERYONE
In 1996, he began his career as a graffiti writer. He has created murals in 20 countries around the world, including Asia, America, and Europe, and his unique style of realistically expressing the streets has received high acclaim in various countries. He participated in a feature in the “NEWS WEEK” SPECIAL EDITION, collaborated on the mural “PEACE ONEARTH” by Seitaro Kuroda, and garnered significant attention through interviews on Space Shower TV’s “BURN OUT” and the American film “BOMB IT the movie.”
His diverse activities, including the Aichi Expo, “X-COLOR” at the Mito Art Museum, “Sakuragicho ON THE WALL” in Yokohama, “Graffiti Jam MEETING OF STYLE” in Chicago, and “Crazy Crimers” in Osaka, have greatly influenced both domestic and international artists. In addition to his overwhelming expressive power, his refined spirituality continues to encompass the world through graffiti. In 2004, he launched the GRAFFITI MAGAZINE “HSM,” which he oversees.
