AMSTERDAM.- From February 14 to May 18, 2025, STRAAT Museum presents Graffitecture: Typographic Blueprints. The exhibition explores the intersection of graffiti and architecture through the work of four innovative artists: SODA, Gary Stranger, Antigoon, and Georgia Hill. These artists combine the raw energy of graffiti with the structured elegance of architecture and design. The exhibition features around fifty works, including several installations.

Graffiti is often still associated with illegality, despite the medium having far surpassed this stage. Graffitecture highlights the creative possibilities of typographic art, introducing visitors to the growth, refinement, and relevance of graffiti in today’s artistic and cultural landscape. Through SODA's optical illusions, Gary Stranger's architectural letterforms, Antigoon's experimental machine-assisted creations, and Georgia Hill's poetic monochromatic designs, a dynamic interplay emerges between chaos and control, spontaneity and precision. By applying typography in public art, these artists redefine our relationship with urban environments and design. As part of the exhibition, STRAAT will also showcase a collection of process films by the featured artists.

SODA (1977, Italy) manipulates flat surfaces with limited color palettes to create phenomenal illusions of three-dimensional depth. Gary Stranger (1970, United Kingdom), a member of the legendary MSK (Mad Society Kings), blends the language of graffiti with the meticulous craft of design to create unique architectural typographic forms. Antigoon (1983, Netherlands) pushes the boundaries of materials and process—using exceptional tools like ink machines and paint blowers, he creates geometric hints of letterforms with futuristic precision. Georgia Hill (1988, Australia) adds a personal and poetic touch by combining reflective phrases with typographic designs featured worldwide in galleries, on city walls, and on buildings.

New Work for the Permanent Collection

The STRAAT Museum collection already includes large-scale works by Gary Stranger, SODA, and Antigoon. To mark the occasion of the exhibition, Georgia Hill will also create new work for the museum’s permanent collection. This piece will join over 180 other large-scale works, further enriching STRAAT’s vibrant and diverse collection.
