 VHILS – The Artist who is Carving Walls Around the World

One of the top street artists today,

Alexandre Farto, better known as Vhils, is
continuing to evolve and push his
trademark style. Emerging on the scene
in 2008, his work, which consists of
chiseling away layers of walls using a
variety of tools, made him an instant
sensation. Over time, the Portuguese
artist has honed and refined his
technique, using it across different media
to great effect.
By cutting and carving his way through
cities around the global, he’s acted both as an urban archeologist, revealing layers of
history, and as a sculptor using his tools to reveal a message hidden within the wall.

“Graffiti is my artistic background, it taught me a lot and gave me diverse working skills
before I went to art school and university,” says Vhils. “I’m a great experimentalist and
much of the direction my work takes comes simply from random results achieved
through experimenting with materials and techniques. When I put ideas into practice,
some of them work out and many others don’t, but even these can point a new
direction, something interesting to explore. I never disregard mistakes or errors, in one
way or another, there is a lot of potential in them”, the artist goes on explaining.

Vhils has also been supporting local arts community in Lisbon with projects like
Underdogs. This involved opening a gallery where Portuguese and foreign artists who
have been operating outside the established circuit could show their work, while also
creating the opportunities for them to work properly in the public space and give
something to the city and putting out affordable artist editions as a means of reaching
out to the public and creating a bond with them.

“I truly believe in this new art movement that some have labeled urban art or street art
—which I really dislike as it limits the diversity of a movement that includes a multiplicity
of areas, visual language, and backgrounds, from conceptual artists to graffiti writers,
from graphic artists to muralists, etc. The common thread between them is the fact that
they are all working with or inspired by the visual chaos that modern-day urban
environments have been giving us for the last decades. I truly believe that these
creative energies should be part of the way we think the city as a whole—by making art
part of the city, not only does it make it accessible to everyone, it also drives freedom
of expression, injects new cultural value into the city by activating its cultural activities,
it helps regenerate the urban fabric, and all of these end up contributing towards
creating social and economic impact.”, says Vhils.

None of this was easy to achieve, but we’re lucky that the project has resonated so well
with the community, the artists, and the public.
