Darkcloud
STREET ARTIST
Darkcloud’s symbolism elicits a vaguely ominous feeling. His work, like his alias, is intense and powerful. Thickly painted, oozing and unnatural, his clouds hover over doorways, on advertisements, and challenge protocol on street signs that once demanded: yield, stop, and obey.
