Another sterling interview from Helen Soteriou, this time one of our favourites, Copyright. Thanks Helen!

Can you tell me about your background?

I’ve been painting with spray paint for the last 10 years but I’ve been into art my whole life. I got the name Copyright and started painting roses about the same time, 5 years ago in 2004.

You have a unique style. I call you the romantic graffiti artist because you spray pink roses everywhere. How did this come about?

Yeah, on the streets I mostly do the roses. I’ve done loads of ‘em now. I try to put them on the Sh*ttiest walls or down dark alleyways. The first one I ever did is still probably my fave, it was painted coming out of a hackney council rubbish bin that was overflowing. I try to brighten up places with ‘em, it’s just a small touch that can make a big difference.

Poster Boy NYC has been described as a “kind of anti-consumerist Zorro with a razor blade”. Preferring to remain anonymous Poster Boy NYC is said to be a group or ‘movement’ who use razor blades to cut out and re-arrange elements of billboard images on the New York Subway to make both political and satirical statements about contemporary issues. Their belief is a simple one, “one man’s vandalism is another’s political art” turning Subway stations into their own public art galleries.

Poster Boy NYC’s pieces are conceived on the spot and resemble a cut and paste punk aesthetic. In past interviews Poster Boy NYC has expressed hopes to start a ‘decentralized art movement’, one where anyone can claim to be Poster Boy. “No copyright, no authorship,” he has said. “A social thing, as opposed to being an artist making things for bored rich people to hang above their couch.”

Cartrain is an artist whose work can be found mostly in backstreets of Brick Lane and Old Street. Cartrain’s left wing stencils and collages often contain recognisable figures such as George Bush and the Queen.

16 year old graffiti artist Cartrain walked in to the Tate Briton (London) early last week and removed a packet of pencils from one of Damien Hirsts exhibits. Damien Hirst and Cartrain have a long standing rocky history. Earlier this year Hirst targeted the young graffiti artist Cartrain using Design and Artists Copyright Society (DAC’s) for breach of copyright infringement on his latest series of artworks being sold vir 100artworks.com.
