I’ve always had a morbid fascination with the criminally insane. I felt It would be interesting to share them publicly and created an Instagram account. This led to me creating short films that document my graffiti actions and illegal performance art. It seemed fitting to create an entire word for the Baer graffiti to interact with and navigate through. Last year, I began using the video medium for the first time. I’ve been writing the word Baer for more than 15 years, prior to 2020 I’d never had any form of social media or posted pictures online. This had never been seen before in the game and that put a lot of attention on you. However, I have to get my intake of protein somehow and toys makes for an excellent source of nutrition.’ĭuring 2020 you started publishing a variety of crazy videos on your Instagram account that mix graffiti with a lot of extreme content, ranging from gore, horror movies, famous serial killers, sex, fetichism, drugs, etc. I’m a veggie head, I keep it non GMO and plant based. I use bombing as a tool for personal exploration, shedding light on dark facets within myself. I would rather pave my own path, and not reproduce what has already come before me. I have always been deeply influenced by the villainous west coast graff styles by crews like MSK, AWR, LTS and KOG which has led to me elaborating on the detailed aesthetic of West Coast graffiti. I have no interest in conforming to norms within my creative practice. West Coast, where local aesthetics and graffiti codes are so stiff? Can you tell us a bit about your personal trajectory in the game?įor an anti institutional art form, graffiti sure has a lot of rules.
How did you get to develop such an atypical style on the U.S.
Discover the mixture of arrogance and humor that makes up his character in this interview which features a selection of some of his Toy Story video series. If you check his Instagram account, you’ll find a complex world based on graffiti, but that goes much further, grows much bigger. His large-scale murals leave us speechless but, don’t get us wrong he’s not the typical muralist and his bombing activity is there to prove it. Active now for a long time, he’s developed an ultra-charged style, a mixture of classic American graffiti, illustration, gore aesthetics and 70’s psychedelic comic books like the ones from the Metal Hurlant French school. The multi-faceted writer who defines himself as Graffomet, Porno-Graffer, Professional Pineal Punisher, Metaphysical Mutilator and The Chakra Chopper is definitely one of the most intriguing characters out there in the game. If you’ve never had the chance to see Baer BTR’s work, now’s your chance.
