“There is a story to every wall that is built. My job as a street artist is to uncover those stories.” -TraseOne,Street artist
TraseOne is highly regarded as one of the leading pioneers who is always pushing boundaries in the scene since 1999. What started as an adolescent hobby of just scrawling his name on the streets, Trase has evolved his approach in making art to create a more intellectual dialog of his work–most of which contain cleverly embedded subliminal messages. His work has won many awards in projects and exhibitions on the local and global platform.
