Description Today we know that the legend of the French stencil pioneer is wrong. Many artists have used the stencil on the street simultaneously in various countries since the 70s. Hugo Kaagman is one of them. Hugo Kaagman was born in 1955 in Holland in Haarlem. He started graffiti in 1969 and stencil in 1977. In his first period, he created murals through stencil and spray by hand and using various elements of punk and reggae culture. His stencils are inspired by the grounds of different cultures that he combined to form larger compositions. After initially having sought his inspiration elsewhere, he discovered Holland and developed his own contemporary version of Delft blue tiles. Since 1983 Hugo Kaagman received many official commissions and created a great many murals at home and abroad. |
