HERACUT

Heracut is a symbiosis of 2 German graffiti artists, Akut and Hera, who have been working together since 2001.
Their work is focused on character painting. Akut started with graffiti at the young age of 14. His paintings consist of a concept that has been mapped out on a computer, high resolution photo material, and a predefined assortment of aerosol paints. Once that's done, Akut assembles his characters dot by dot.
In contrast, Hera doesn't go through the same level of preparation, and has only worked with large dimensions since he started.
