One of the pleasant things about being a part of Flavorpill is that we spend a fair bit of time looking around on the internet for generally cool stuff, and occasionally we stumble across something that really blows our mind. So it was with the work of French street artist Shaka, who has an exhibition opening at the Alexandre Lazarew Gallery in Paris next week. Shaka’s apparently a mainstay of the Parisian graffiti scene, and the fascinating thing about his recent work is its three-dimensional nature — his work is built out in bas-relief from the canvas onto which it’s painted, blurring the line between painting and sculpture and creating a pretty dramatic effect, particularly in conjunction with the striking and colorful nature of his images. We’ve included a collection of his work after the jump — there’s heaps more at his website.

Don’t love the illustrations, but really appreciate the concept.
Blazing concept! The first image images are my faves.
I don’t understand why this is called “graffiti” art or street art.
Excellent and original…but I too, want to know why this is graffiti -
nice idea, but definetely no graffiti!
Because he’s a graffiti artist, everything he does is graffiti? If a guitarist were to play something on the piano would the author call it amazing guitar work?
This is not graffiti.

It?s exhausting to find educated people on this subject, however you sound like you already know what you?re speaking about! Thanks
After I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the identical comment. Is there any approach you can take away me from that service? Thanks!
