Faith 47 : A soft feminine Touch
|
|
Faith
47 started graffiti in 97, getting into graff
through tagging and chromies. Through intensive drawing
Faith has evolved into doing large graffiti murals
and concentrating a lot on styles and characters.
She portrays strong female characters in alot of her
work as well as having a definitivley feminine style.
She does this intentially as she feels that females
often take a back seat because of their self image
and upbringing.
|
| The
media force is more and more projecting female role
models as sex symbols because of this girls views of
themselves and their roles in society becomes jarred. |
| Through
intends on utilising her art to voice views such as
this and others through the use of subtle characterisations
and through pushing the barriers of design. She is also
the designer of South Africas Levitation magazine which
documents South African Youth Culture through music,
art, politcal and social issues. Her design work and
graff work merge together in different mediums as she
formulates a style and image that is uniquely faith47.
Whether you catch Faith slaving away on designs infront
of her computer or out on the streets in the middle
of the night or even doing some legal walls (like for
instance the Building for the Association for the Blind)
you be sure to see a unique style that stongly conveys
a message of some sorts. |
 |
| Whats more... you can also
be sure to find her designs for flyers and album covers...
her work is in high demand! She earned the respect of
not only the Hip Hop community but also just the average
man and women on the street. |
| You can just hear them say,"now
that really beautiful... with a soft feminine touch",
thus creating a reappretiation for an airform that has
almost been outlawed! You're sure to find her name everywhere...
whether its decorating township schacks, huge murals
on busy main roads... |
