Not all the art at mega art shows is gimmicky, flashy, retro, shiny, LED backlit, or video.

Evol, born in Heilbronn, Germany and living and working in Berlin, paints architectural details and scenes on found cardboard.

These restrained architectural compositions are executed with slow and careful precision using a mask-and-spray process, yielding an extremely convincing photo-realist result.
