Interview with Antz, one of the most talented artist of the Singapore street art scene.<\/h2>\n

During a recent trip, I met cool Singapore artists. Among them was the really talented Singapore Street art creative called Antz.<\/strong>
\nI interviewed the man, and he talks about Singapore Street art, his influences, his working process, and the cultural environment in the Lion City.

PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF<\/strong>
\nAn Asian urban artist + Designer + Sometimes a party monkey.<\/p>\n

\"antz

Great painting for the Singapore-based artist and party monkey<\/p><\/div>\n

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR WORK?<\/strong>
\nMy style makes heavy references to chinese culture, from mythology to dialect to identity. I managed to create an interesting juxtapozed mash of contemporary urban styles with traditional chinese visuals and influences.<\/p>\n

\"antz

Who thought you would find such cool street art in Singapore?<\/p><\/div>\n

PLEASE SHARE WITH US YOUR WORKING PROCESS<\/strong>
\nI do a lot of travelings around the world, gaining influences and challenges to push myself. Understand a culture, digest it, and output the final artwork.<\/p>\n

\"antz

Art sculpture from the talented Antz<\/p><\/div>\n

HOW DOES YOUR ENVIRONMENT INFLUENCE YOUR ART?<\/strong>
\nIt’s pretty tough in Singapore, as everything is too globalized. I rather slow down my pace and look into details. The only advantage i have is that Singapore offers access to most cultures\u2026 Therefore i get my references and can do my researches easily.<\/p>\n

\"illustration\"

Slick and nice illustration<\/p><\/div>\n

WHO ARE YOUR INFLUENCES?<\/strong>
\nFrom UK band Gorillaz creator Jamie Hewlett, to Asian star Bruce Lee, a good pal MC Yan from LMF hkg, to my cremates of RSCLS.<\/p>\n
