J
an Kalab, born in 1978 in
Czechoslovakia, at a time
in history when graffiti was
a form of protest in the Eastern
World during the communist
era. In the nineties, as the
country was opening itself
to Western influences, Kalab
became one of the pioneers of
the local scene, and found it an
ionic crew, “The DSK.” Many sleepless nights around train yards
and time spent at police stations helped this young graffiti artist
develop his style and make a name for himself across Europe as
“Cakes.” In 2000, he took his graffiti to New York, where he made
an impression painting whole cars alongside graffiti heavy-hitters,
“Key” and “Rome.” Overtime, his forms became more geometric
and organic. Visitors will
notice the use of colorful
squares and circles in
his art. While Jan’s work
has its roots entrenched
in traditional graffiti,
he has evolved greatly
over the years, elevating
the genre with a techno
color palette, abstract
organic shapes and
three-dimensional
letter sculptures and
canvases. The artist’s
motto
reflects
his
evolving body of work;
“Always getting higher,
always inventing new
forms—a tribute to the
soul of graffiti.” n
