About this Artist
Tilt is an internationally recognised traditional graffiti artist, originating from Toulouse in South France. A self declared "graffiti fetishist", he learned his trade in the streets and on trains as a youngster. In the time since he did his first tags on a skateboard ramp back in '88, his ensuing career has been nourished and influenced by extensive travel. Inspirational journeys have seen Tilt exhibit and leave his mark as far and wide as the U.S.A, Hong Kong, Japan, Mexico, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Laos, Taiwan, China, Canada, Philippines, Indonnesia, Maldivians and in excess of 12 countries throughout Europe. Tilt loves demonstrating that basic, primitive graffiti can be as strong as complicated 3D lettering, wildstyles and characters. His focus on fun, high impact shapes and strong colours is a reflection of his history as a true graffiti writer, trained on the streets and in the train yards. Similarly, his extensive use of bubbly, curvaceous forms relates to his obsession with beautiful females. Following classic hip-hop graffiti ideology, his individual styled name is the focal point in the majority of his paintings, in Tilt's case a bubble letter "throw-up". "Throw-Up" is graf terminology for a writer's spraypainted name incorporating fast lines and doneWelcome to Print Them All, the online gallery of the world’s finest street artists. Print Them All specializes in exclusive, limited edition lithograph and screen-prints of some of today’s most renowned contemporary urban artists. In partnership with the artists themselves, our press combines sophisticated techniques and the highest quality materials to ensure as precise a replication as possible. Each print is numbered and hand-signed by the artist. A victim of its own success, as urban contemporary art exploded, the streets became inundated with artists leaving their mark. As real works of art started to drown in a flood of markings that lacked any identity, urban contemporary art started to lose its value, prompting many of the more talented street artists to trade working on walls to working behind them. The move “inside” would, in many ways, rob the art form of its very identity – to be accessible to the public at large. In the wake of this cultural and artistic shift, Print Them All not only serves to eternalize individual works but also to honor the true spirit of street art as a genre by continuing to keep it accessible.
