WHO

line_grey.jpg

Benny Wilding (also Cemz or Ether) discovered street art during a trip to New York at the age of 12 in the mid-90s, influenced by the spray-painted walls all over the city. He returned to Montreal to devote himself to street art. He started in 1997 as Cemz in writing. In 2004, he started to use Ether for his writing. Often, his style combines pop-art & cartoons with a great writing of his name, true contrast between them.

Very interesting interview of this artist for Mural Festival...
