KACAO77 is a Berlin graffiti writer recognized the world over for his complex style, elaborate sketches and most notably his large scale trademark “graffiti comics” that depict super heroes and villains in a science fiction universe all their own, not unlike a hip hop Fantastic Planet.
The work is so elaborate he often spends weeks on each panel. Universes showcases exclusive, never before seen work of KACAO77 since 2001 including his comics, sketches, stunning wall pieces, and peeks inside his blackbook. KACAO77 is a jury member of the international graffiti battle WRITE4GOLD. A member of the Berlin crew GFA (Glorious Five Artists) he has collaborated with other major talents of the international graffiti scene including BATES, JAY1, and POET.
“When this book will come out, KACAO77 will set a new standard for outline sketches. I never saw ANYONE putting so much time into drawings like he does! (…)” BATES, Copenhagen, Denmark.
” (…) So to me KACAO77 is the ultramagnetic-fanatic-mechanic-energetic-still enthusiastic-and causin’ no static-type of writer… The type of writer we need in the game these days (…)” SERCH, Netherlands.
“This is 2008,Europe. It’s night time and while everyone out there seems be asleep, there’s one draftsman working meticulously on a sketch which could not be more detailed. In his Berlin apartment, far away from any fad and fast pace, he has been in search of the optimum of a graffiti piece for 16 years now-the perfect symbiosis of letters,color,forms,characters and fantasy. Whether on paper or concrete, he’salways looking for the limit…even if this limit would be the sky. If the perfect graffiti piece existed,be sure he would try to find it. He’s like driven by a motor,This is the story of the machine.These are the universes of KACAO77.” SUNGOOD
