D8ORION
Sao Paulo in the 90s was awash with graffiti, disrupting the various neighbourhoods of its post-modernist landscape. Murals and taggs would cover buildings in abundance, one facade after another succumbing to this violently artist defacing.
Taggs appeared in impossible places, someone brave enough or marginalised enough had mastered just enough courage to reach that little bit further. A ghost, possibly killed by the city, leaving its mark… claiming their identity amidst the chaos of this gridded metropolis.
These Taggs, symbols and runes became my fonts of choice, a signature looped in repetition.
My name is Danilo Antonelli AKA D8orion, hailing from Brasilia, Brasil. I’m an artist with a background in photography, mainly the urban environments and architecture. Currently based in London, UK.
Hope you enjoy my artworks, you can buy them along with merch from my shop…
