Vhils

London / Lisboa

Portuguese-born Alexandre Farto is a street artist, who is also best known as Vhils. His work ranges from collage to portraiture, and has recently focused on the creative use of found materials.

He gained prominence when his work of a face carved into a wall appeared alongside a picture by street artist Banksy at the Cans Festival in London in 2008. As Vhils states himself, „it’s the process itself which is expressive, more than the final result. It’s a process of trying to reflect upon our own layers,” it is also this astonishing video that sums it up:
