The 29th Montana BLACK Artist Edition featuring BOND TRULUV –
available now
Who paints murals with rebuilt and adjusted Ballpoint pens? Who used his own book as a
spatula to complete a piece? Yes, you guessed right, it’s BOND TRULUV. We had the
chance to team up with none other than the Gyro Gearloose of graffiti himself to create
our new Montana BLACK artist edition. Known for his technical skills and versatility, he
steers clear of worn-out paths, paving his own way through the graffiti universe. His
choice of color is like a Swiss knife: BLACK 6170 Neptune, a very versatile shade,
suitable for fill-ins, outlines, and details alike.
His playful approach extends beyond mere painting: he is widely known for constantly inventing and evolving various DIY painting devices, blending action painting and painting
action into entertaining video content that has more than once gone viral on social media platforms. In his works, the process is as necessary as the result, while playfulness and seriousness coexist in harmony. What truly sets this BLACK Artist edition apart is its interactive AR
functionality: by scanning the QR code on the back of the can, the artwork on the front
comes to life as a digital animation. This unique fusion of spray can design and augmented
reality marks a first in the BLACK Artist Edition series!
We sat down with BOND TRULUV over coffee to contemplate his playful approach, discuss inventions, re-contextualization, and the importance of social media. Stay tuned for the upcoming interview and the full Video!
