Street art can tell a lot and change a lot in the society. Especially when made with professionalism, amazing colors, well thought details and deep cultural research underneath.

There is something that unites Kyiv, Perth, Mexico, Detroit, Sicily and many other places all over the world. A touch left there by famous Ukrainian artistic duo ‘Interesni Kazky’. AEC and Waone (in their previous life Aleksei and Vladimir) started their street-art ‘career’ with style writings on Kyiv’s walls in a bunch of Ukrainian creative painters Ingenious Kids. Some of their works might have being considered as a vandalism, however, this was an integral experience for AEC and Waone.

When started as an independent duo, two painters switched from traditional graffiti to beautiful and meaningful images. They call their own works ‘paranoias’ and characters they paint ‘strokes’. To make the very first works of ‘Interesni kazki’ (Interesting Fairy tales, Ukrainian), AEC and Waone worked as interior designers to earn some money to buy the paint.

Now artists are strongly desirable all around the world. Their works are not only about technique, incredible colors and funny noticeable details. Painters dig into each country’s culture essence; point all the valuable (sometimes shameful and painful) parts in a satiric manner, to help the society SEE.

Whether it’s the story of aborigines in Australia or a manifesto to Ukrainian revolution, the works of AEC and Waone will surely remain in your memory straight after you see them.
