Daim is a professional German graffiti artist. He started his career in 1989 and has forever since then, explored the limits of his mind. His style and technique makes you feel like you’re lifting from your body, entering his realm of imagination. This quote will give a better descriptive explanation of his work. “His geometric figures and letters obey the laws of light and shadow but defy gravity and curve space. The beholder is sucked into the image or feels transported to new dimensions”
-DAIM graffiti art.
Both Kurt and Daim share their interest in the three dimensional world. They grew from their hobbies as amateurs to world renowned professionals. Geometry plays a vital role in both art forms. Kurt’s use of geometry and classicism gives a distortion making viewable from a specific angle. Daim’s use of it doesn’t give off as much of a distortion as Kurt. The last comment could be considered a difference too because their use of geometry is different, yet a similarity because it is vital for both to use it.
Their difference lies in the art forms themselves. The style of graffiti and street art in attraction and perception. Street art pulls a more realistic classicism and expresses its dimensions. Daim’s graffiti shoots for a more quick, fashionable appeal. If you look at graffiti at any angle, you can still see the dimensional jump from 2D to 3D. Street art relies on a perspective and only one viewpoint. If you were to draw a person on the ground in 3D, if you stand next it, all it is is a bunch colors added together. View it from the front, you can start to see the painting come alive.
Although these people share their differences, they still connect in a way with a few similarities. Both art fanatics still scour the globe spreading their passion and talent among everyone else.
