“Fucking Elephants” is made of 42 3D-sculptures of elephants making love while carrying a house on their backs. The entire collection is at the same time an ode to love and a critique of the demographic situation in South-Africa: the development of infrastructures is not following the population increase.

Falko Fantastic

Artist Presentation

22 December 1988 Falko painted his first graffiti piece. Within a few months, he became consumed with graffiti art. Since then he has dedicated the larger part of his life to murals with spray can. In 1996, with the support of Plascon, Falko organized and hosted South Africa`s first ever graffiti competition called BATTLE WITH VAPOURS. With only 5 writers competing, it was the first stepping stone in the development of graffiti art in Southern Africa.

Falko One is now known as one of the most important Street-Art OG in the world. He started painting elephants in 2014 and it started a bit by accident. He was in Senegal to do a mural and was censored for what he originally planned to do so he chose to paint an elephant as a symbol of Africa that everyone would love. He instantly fell in love with these first elephants he painted and they started to be at the very core of his Art since then, painting mostly in poor neighborhoods in Africa. About a year ago he got into digital art with a big challenge to learn how to make 3D.
