Street Art Exhibition: “Catch Me if You Can” by Ratur & Sckaro | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

AM Gallery is pleased to present, “Catch Me if You Can” with French brother duo street artists, Arthur Maslard a.k.a. Ratur and Oscar Maslard a.k.a. Sckaro. Artists will be in attendance and the event is free and open to the public.

Ratur and Sckaro have painted side by side their entire lives constantly pushing the envelope with their developed fraternal pursuit. Inspired by not only graffiti art culture but also by traditional European and Flemish paintings, the brothers respond to each other’s work producing ever more extensive polished pieces; consequently creating a kind of back and forth battle. They so eloquently named this battle, “Catch Me if You Can.”

Each painting of “Catch Me if You Can” is based off a computer-edited photo, usually of the artists themselves. They use the photo as a guide to manipulate depth of field, carefully rendering the foreground while allowing the mid and background to slip away into less contrasted illustrations. As a result, each painting contains in itself a sense of unreality; a dreaminess that seems to push forward out of the painting. The hands of their figures in particular seem to reach out of the canvas. Allying digital work and technical virtuosity, the series questions the painter’s place in our overwhelmingly digital society and challenges the relationship between street art and a more classical, academic current.
