Artist Spotlight – Robin Rhode

October 23, 2008 in Street Art | 19 Comments

Robin Rhode is a South African artist who creates beautiful street art by transforming simple shapes and objects into elements of narratives.

Rhode usually works in public spaces, using walls, public basketball fields or just the street as his “canvas”. His preferred materials are easily accessible ones like charcoal and paint. As a result, his works stand out through their simplicity and their formal clarity, emphasizing the idea over lavishness of production.
