Here is a quick update with the work of Graphic designer and artist Christos Tzaferos, also known as Simek and the one half of the Greek duo Blaqk, who dropped a series of pieces in the streets of New York and Providence during his last trip in the US.
Born in 1985 in Greece, and member of the duo Blaqk, SIMEK has been experimenting with graffiti & street art since the beginning of 2000. He studied Graphic Design at the School of Graphic Design in Athens, taking up painting and photography around 2009 while working as a freelance graphic designer. SIMEK’s creativity stems from modern & traditional architecture, and his work is characterised by a geometric abstract style that incorporates the architecture and graphic elements surrounding his pieces.
