Slak Ilya

Ilya has been an active figure in the graffiti culture since 2005. Currently promoting abstract lettering (an offshoot of graffiti in which font composition is on the brink of abstraction, as a rule with favor to the latter), developing his own style in drawing characters and experimenting with non-objective abstraction. In all of these areas he takes the basis of geometric constructivism and tries to develop his own intimately unique style.
Ilya's art doesn’t feed only on of walls and streets, he also works with various surfaces and techniques: muralism, canvas, collages, digital art. He is a frequent participant of festivals, exhibitions, projects in Russia and abroad.
