Création Jerk 45 pour l'exposition Sang 9

Print
ca. 2004 (made)
Artist/Maker
Place of origin

This sticker by the street artist Sang 9 is an interesting example of contemporary sticker ephemera. Overlapping printing and angry stylised faces come together in a bizarre vision.

Stickers like these are a part of the street art phenomenon, usually stuck on walls alongside stencil work and tag graffiti in urban areas. The simplicity and cheapness of the medium makes it attractive for young artists, and stickers crop up not only in graffiti sites but on buses and tube trains. Twenty-first-century psychedelia, demented cartoon characters, recycled film stars and a wild variety of visual references come together in a visual riot.
