#60 – Jaune & Slinkachu
This week we sit down with both Slinkachu and Jaune. We talk about their new duo exhibition - "Trash Talk", now on display at Thinkspace Art Gallery through June 22nd. We talk about their jobs before becoming full-time artists, the process behind creating their work, and what they have planned for the rest of the year.
Jaune
Jaune is a stencil artist and urban interventionist from Brussels, Belgium. His work is based on the paradox between the visible and the invisible, with sanitation workers the main protagonists in his humorous installations and paintings – an idea that was born from his own experience working in the profession.
