ENGLISH
Argus is the pseudonym of an anonymous street artist, who started his activities in 2009. He works with both stencils, as well as free sketches. Unfortunately, many of Argus's early works have disappeared.
As most street artists, Argus reflects on local challenges. His first work on Bergen`s Danmarksplassen, a place struggled with poor air quality, showed two boys with gas masks.
He has a reflective approach to his own art, which could be followed in his blog (not active since 2018).
In 2013, Argus began experimenting with a geometric stencil technique inspired by Russian constructivism from the beginning of the 20th century. The years 2011-2017 have been the most active ones. In 2017 he had his first two solo exhibition, one at Gategalleriet in Bergen (Norway) and one at Chur City Gallery (Switzerland). Over the last five years, Argus wasn`t very active.

The exhibition MOVE is the result of an investigation into dance movements with the goal to produce street art for gallery walls under the same time pressure as dancers and street artists need to work under. Argus himself described this project as a “truly nice and sensual experience, throwing a great deal of energy into the paintings.”

With this exhibition we want to contribute to a discussion, what street art could do for Ilulissat`s streetscape, why we lack street art and what would be needed to have vibrant street art in our town.

All works are made with wall paint and sponge on MDF boards.
