When you talk about SMASH 137 you talk about the art of writing. The style of this Swiss artist has heavily influenced the international writer scene for years. Driven by his obsession for letters and western calligraphy he is today one of the most active and famous writers in the world. Alongside his conquest of urban space, SMASH 137 has refined the conceptual side of his art which he has presented on various mediums and as installations in numerous successful solo exhibitions on the international gallery circuit.

 

SMASH 137 – smash proof | release date 6th November 2009

 

An in-depth look at a style in flux, 'SMASH 137 – smash proof' traces the various style excursions and developments of SMASH 137—one of Europe's finest contemporary graffiti writers—as he chases the elusive "perfect style". Never content with resting on his reputation or accepting in-vogue styles, Smash keeps busy mixing it up and pushing his letter forms to the limit. Author Amber Grünhäuser gives us the SMASH 137 "style" lowdown in a series of essays exploring his style lineage, the twists and turns of his style journey, the role of sketching and the ‘State of the Line’ in his work and his current thoughts and practices. All is revealed—including SMASH 137’s style philosophy. Be warned this is not for the faint hearted—this is style intensive!
