Introduction [1]
Founded in 2001, multidisciplinary art collective Broken Fingaz, namely, Broken Finger (i.e., Kip, Unga, Tant and Deso) are regarded as one of the first graffiti crews to emerge from Haifa, Israel, and their name is now at the forefront of contemporary street art. With their independent approach and shared appreciation of illustration BFC's success has been unprecedented on the international scene.
Title (Year): DESO - DOD (2013).
Technique: Screen print.
In more than a decade of working together, they are renowned for their unique style, inspired by the peaks and troughs of life, everyday ephemera, old comic books, 1980s skateboard graphics and neo-psychedelia - among many other things. They started out painting on the street and designing posters and graphics for local venues, but the BFC's work now encompasses graphic design, painting, film and installation. Underlining the importance of their contributions to the shape of the contemporary scene, their work has been presented at exhibitions at Israel's most important visual arts institutes, the Tel Aviv Museum (2011) and the Haifa Museum of Art (2010). Since then they have exhibited widely outside of Istael: in 2012 they presented their debut international solo exhibition in London (Old Truman Brewery, 2012), with shows following in Vienna (Inoperable, 2012), Paris (Lebenson Gallery, 2012), Amsterdam (Battalion Gallery, 2013) and Berlin (Urban Spree, 2013). In 2013 they were also invited to participate at the Cut Out Festival, Queretaro, Mexico, where they produced a new stop-motion graffiti film. Their public murals can be seen on the streets of cities across China, Japan, Cambodia, Israel, the UK, Germany, Holland, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain, Mexico and more. In the press, the crew are regularly featured in art magazines, including, Juxtapoz, Complex and VNA.
