Falko One picked up a spray can back in 1988 as a traditional hip hop influenced graffiti artist and has been painting the streets of South Africa ever since. During the last decade, he has polished years of experience into his own unique style, straddling the thin line between fantasy and reality.

Falko does not paint canvass artworks, his inspiration lies as much in the life that surrounds the wall as the wall itself. “A canvass is too contained. It’s very hard for me to make sense of the image without a natural background” states Falko.

It is with this in mind that prints of his work have finally been produced and made available for purchase. The photograph prints are as close as any fan can get to owning any of his original pieces of work.

Once Upon a Town Series

Once Upon a Town is an artistic journey through South Africa – blending graffiti street art into the intricate smaller communities which span over the country. Falko One’s work enhances stark concrete homes and steel shacks, which have been isolated against the backdrop of the landscape’s beauty and the country’s social complexities.

Demonstrations to art’s universal language – homeowners queued up to have their stark homes painted by Falko, and an undeniable inquisitive buzz which gathered on the dirt streets.  The unaccustomed art-form sparks a keen interest in these ‘isolated’ communities, igniting a flame in the local artists – both young and old.

Falko’s art-trail through these far-flung towns leaves more than decorated walls in its dusty wake – but as communities change, it’s the paint and imagery which will still stand as a reminder of a time when graffiti connected people.
