Miss Van

Miss Van

Miss Van - (Link to Website) is a french graffiti artist who uses acrylic in her work instead of spray cans because she prefers working in that medium. She publishes her work this way because she thought that her work would be more accessible to the public this way. She also found working on the street  more exciting because it's forbidden and keeps a sense of freedom in her work of her sultry female dolls. Miss Van's work is very unique and original because there are not very many female graffiti artists who work in this style and is not a typical technique of graffiti which makes her unique. She represents herself through her dolls they are like self portraits of the artist. As she started moving into gallery work her dolls became more sexually alluring and often very provocative because she wants them to disturb people and entice fantasies and generally create some reaction to her work.
