Swoon
Swoon is the renowned street artist from New York City, who specialises in life-size wheatpaste prints and paper cutouts of figures. Swoon studied painting at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and began doing street art around 1999, inspired by artists such Matta-Clark and Shepard Fairey. Her work often feature realistically rendered cut-out street people, pasted up against the gray walls and doors of the city, using them as her canvas. Elements of historical art and folk sources transpire through her work, and her art embraces a conceptual exploration of the ultimate street experience.
