Futura Interview on Walrus TV
Monday March 08, 2010 |
 We kick it off with a video interview with the legendary artist, Futura. “I’ve had to be real patient,” he says in the edition from Walrus TV. “It all didn’t happen right away. Even in the midst of the whole gallery art world I thought this was the greatest thing in the world, but there was more.” Known for pioneering a more abstract style of graffiti writing, Futura played a major role in the NYCs graffiti scene of the 70s. As the popularity of graffiti art flared in the 70’s and 80’s, Futura’s work was shown alongside artists such as Basquiat and Keith Haring.
As his style developed, he began designing, and has collaborated with numerous artists and companies, including The Clash, Supreme, and A Bathing Ape. Get an inside look at his workspace and his love for b movies, video games and, apparently, all things Sony in the interview from “The Run Up,” available to the public for free for the first time, on Walrus TV.
