Scratchadelia – Hip Hop Inspired Urban Art from Marseille/Paris/London

Scratchadelia – Hip Hop Inspired Urban Art

Got an bit of an interview with Scratchadelia today! Their urban art has a wicked hip hop flavour and a pretty unique look, with lighting being an integral part of the art.

They’re a confident pair too, good on ‘em.

Scratchadelia have got a solo show on at THE DALSTON SUPERSTORE until August 2nd 2009, get down there while you can!

Let’s get to it then…

WG – How many of you are there, just you or are you a group? Where are you based?

Scratchadelia – We ain’t a crew or collective. We are 2, my brother Kass (Paris) and me (London) – originally from Marseille,  but soon it’s gonna be a movement like graffiti…

WG – Have you been doing this style of art for long?

Scratchadelia – Since mid-90’s on Buses, Trains, Streets and 2003 on the wallpaper.

WG – How did you start getting into this style of art?

Scratchadelia – At school, on the wood desk.

Actually maybe earlier, u know when u are a kid u scratch everything u can and I remember that when I was about 3/5 years old, I scratched my gran mother’s table with the fork… She was so p*ssed off !!! She never gave me back a fork and/or a knife, only spoon. True story

Don't Think n Keep Walkin

WG – Are there any artists out there at the moment that inspire you or that you enjoy?

Scratchadelia – The inspiration for the WE SCRATCH THE DALSTON SUPERSTORE SHOW

Jasper Goodall (Tigress, Bad Bambi), @tmccool ( unknown artist from Twitter) for the Money Lisa.

But right now, not really… it’s quite boring, everybody do the same stuff…

Everybody wants to be an artist nowdays…

WG – What are your main influences when choosing subjects to do pieces on?

Scratchadelia – We don’t really have a main influence, everything is inspiration for us.

For an exhibition: the venue, the people, we try to create an energy there.

For us: our thoughts, fantasies, what we want to touch, we play with the repetition of common/daily pictures/photos you see in magazines/advertisement/TV/movies/Life

WG – What music you into at the moment?

Scratchadelia – Hip Hop 4 ever

WG – How long does it take to do a piece usually?

Scratchadelia – Depends what we scratch (letters/word, portrait, scene,…) and how big it is.

WG – What sort of materials/equipment do you use?

Scratchadelia – JOKER (WG – Not giving anything away then!)
