MANILA-BASED GRAFFITI ARTISTS UNVEIL GIANT MTV LOGOS TO POP UP ACROSS MANILA IN THE RUN UP TO MTV MUSIC EVOLUTION 2015

MANILA/SINGAPORE - WEDNESDAY, 29 APRIL 2015 - In the run up to the MTV Music Evolution 2015 event, fans can find four 10-feet tall MTV logo graffiti art installations created by local graffiti artists, Chichi Monster, Chill, Egg Fiasco, and Nick Automatic, which are popping up across different city hotspots from this week, such as The Collective, Glorietta 4 and Quezon City Circle before its final display together at the MTV Music Evolution on 17 May. Using his calligraphic style and Asian aesthetics, Chichi Monster fused multimedia techniques mixing together video projection mapping and his modern evolution of the ancient Philippine script, the Alibata. This is modelled after a first creation done at a press briefing for MTV Music Evolution held a month ago.

“Here, I used warm colors, and my art represents the main elements of hip hop. You see a break dancer with a face of a boom box holding a spray can on one hand and a mic on the other. Vinyls are

seen floating in space to represent hip hop breaking dimensions in music.” - Egg Fiasco

“While Egg used warm colors, I opted for a cool color palate and picked a side of the installation to add my name. My expression portrays what MTV gives viewers, a chance to chill and relax with

music. I believe that hip hop is an avenue to merge all genres of music.” - Chill
