“Les graffeurs en guerre contre les marques?”
Today I passed the unfortunate MMM store in Brussels myself, and I must say; the sight is on one hand very aggressive (even more chocking in real life), on the other hand very powerful, a strong statement of a monopoly, self conscious artist.
In the air: many speculations on who was the artist/guerilla behind this one. The name that circulated the most was Kidult. And it seems it has been confirmed! Log in to his facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kidult/201845136526414.
Street art magazines asked themselves: “After Yves Saint Laurent, Colette, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, agnès b., Louis Vuitton or Hermès, who will be the next victim?”
Today we know! “Graffiti cannot be commercialized” is what Kidult has to say.
