The Galo Art Gallery will be bringing Flying Fortress to Torino to do a solo show, the opening will be held on Saturday 10 of September.
Munich based artist Flying Förtress started to do classic graffiti in the early 90’s.
After a couple of years he felt himself stuck in a one-way alley so he quit writing and focused on his graphic studies.
Back with new ideas and influences he arose again at the beginning of the millennium and hit the streets back with his infamous Teddy Troops. First they appeared on posters, stickers and as pieces on the walls but later also turned into the third dimension as an urban vinyl toy.
The Troops are still getting sent out to occupy the public and private space. He has been traveling around the world for exhibitions to places like Paris, Barcelona, London, Berlin, Los Angeles, New York, Tokyo, Melbourne and New Zealand.
