10 Wishes for 2010, #3, FKDL
For ten days we’re presenting ten artists and their wishes for the new year, 2010, in no particular order. Together, they are a tiny snapshot of the people who are part of the giant explosion of street art in New York. Individually, each has added their expression of the creative spirit to the decade now ending.
Today’s wish comes from FKDL, whose animated black figures and forms dance and bend, frequently composed of a collage of 50’s/60’s-era fashion and lifestyle advertising.
“I place all my hopes on diversity, mixing and sharing culture. We must maintain this freedom that allows us to express ourselves in the street, trying to continually produce quality work; surprising, inventive, and hopefully work that makes people happier everyday.”
