Shok1 & ECB in London
Tuesday, December 6, 2011
The graffiti artist ECB was invited by his friend Shok1 to paint a wall together in London. ECB painted the portrait on the left and Shok1 painted the right panel of the underdog.
“The left panel by ECB presents an epic portrait with an air of mystery. Is it Picasso? Dave Courtney? Ben Kingsley? In fact it is of a complete stranger and we will never know anything about him, not even a name.
In the right panel SHOK-1 responds by imagining him as the archetypal underdog. He asks : what is the difference between an underdog and a zero, a complete loser? The underdog never gives up. Round and round he goes, fighting to live another day, ever hungry for the prize. Is he just chasing his tail? One day, he thinks. One day.”
