Художник Виталий Demos: казанские корни, петербургские стены и ник из пропущенной буквы

A contemporary artist and illustrator. Born and raised in Kazan (Republic of Tatarstan), he currently lives and works in St. Petersburg. He began his creative journey in 2006 with graffiti, which remains an important part of his work to this day. In 2023, he transitioned to a full-time independent practice as a multidisciplinary artist. He has collaborated with many well-known Russian streetwear brands, restaurants, street spaces, and large companies such as Ozon, Russian Railways, Arton Spray Paint, Mega Shopping Center, and O'Key. "My style is a search for that naive, childlike perception, similar to children's appliqué, using colored pencils and paints. My works convey a kind, light, and accessible aesthetic, while retaining a touch of naivety and vibrant imperfection." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TIMECODES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0:00 Start, walk 2:00 Sasha Trun — the father of St. Petersburg graffiti 4:00 Mural: original style vs. commerce 10:00 Kazan, 2006 — how it all began 13:00 Graffiti ethics: what you can't draw 20:00 Nickname Demos / Demso — the story of a missing letter 24:00 Russian Railways and skateboards for Tokyo Olympics 26:00 Graffiti ABC: Found after work in the kitchen 28:00 Kolya Super - he convinced me to participate 30:00 Arton Spray Paint in memory of Kolya 32:00 Painted dogs for shelters - and they were taken away 34:00 A gallery from England wrote in direct
