Perhaps the answer is to stay the course, be true to yourself and your vision, consistently evolve and produce, and never take your foot off the gas. Fresh off

EP175 - MAD C

Vantagepoint Radio"s tracks ·

2025/07/02

Mad C is without a doubt one of the most influential and respected graffiti and mural artists in the world. As an early pioneer of the first wave of German graffiti writers in the early 90’s, she was not only pushing gender boundaries in a mostly male dominated landscape, she also pushed boundaries of technique, style, themes, and generally what was considered even possible with a spray can driving standards up across Europe and even globally. Inspiring generations of painters has simply been a

2025/06/02

One of Austin Texas’s top graffiti writers and muralists, Mez Data has been painting walls for as long as he can remember. What started as mostly letter based graffiti shifted into characters and portraits and these days, with decades of experience, Mez can confidently paint anything imaginable. His murals and canvas work, all done exclusively with spray paint, have a unique consistency through his choice of colours and handling of the spray can, making it not about what he paints but rather how

2025/04/01

Ledania is one of the most unique and lovely people you will some day hopefully have the opportunity to meet if you haven’t already. Born and raised in Columbia South America, Ledania’s colourful personality and appearance are mirrored in her work. Although seemingly opposite, her hard mostly black punk rock fashion aesthetic and her explosively colorful and somewhat feminine artwork both express the boldness and strong confidence of the artist. Her art has taken her around the world and back

The cartoon characters of your childhood, just like you, have grown up, lived life, experienced trauma, succumbed to addiction, found Jesus, have deviant fantasies, and just like you… they’re working on it. This is the world that Australian pop artist Ben Frost has created over his 30 year art career. His hybrid art intertwines pop art aesthetics, (flat colors and pop culture imagery) with a dark social commentary that reaches his fans on multiple levels. Just like the feeling one gets from the

2024/10/01

As a founding member of the world renowned DMV collective (Da Mental Vaporz) BLO hit the urban art scene with the momentum of a freight train. His stylised figurative work was sweet and dark, cute and grotesque, and heavily influenced by his background in graffiti. A few years after moving from Paris to Berlin however, a shift emerged in his work. The figures and representational elements faded and a much more intuitive form of abstract art emerged, influenced heavily by the German art scene he

EP166 - ZOER / FRED BATTLE

2024/09/03

Somewhere between reality and a dream, the work of French artist ZOER defies the laws of physics, pushing the viewer just slightly beyond the point of comfort, which is exactly what makes his work so exciting. His color palette and forced perspectives challenge you to bend your understanding of what ‘should be’ and simply accept its beauty for what it is. Playing with themes of urban sprawl, consumerism and excess, ZOER highlights the human impact on nature with the delicacy of a sledge hammer.

2024/07/01

Insane51 has developed a mind bending painting style that incorporates double exposure images painted exclusively in red and blue (pink and cyan to be exact) showing two images at once. When viewed through a red or blue filter, like the two lenses of traditional 1950’s style 3D movie glasses, the viewer is able to isolate parts of the painting while everything else becomes invisible. By flipping back and forth between the red and blue filters one is able to see two different images in his art.

One of Australia’s most recognisable muralist and contemporary artists Adnate, has managed to thread a needle that few other artists have been able to pull off with such grace. As a non-native person, Adnate’s paintings and large scale murals focus mainly on indigenous people and culture, a combination with inherent potential for conflict or misstep.
