Gaia-Linoleum Street Art [Video]


08.06.2009 | posted: Matthew Harrison

Gaia is at the ripe ole age of 20, which is impressive considering the depth of his street art.  A local of NYC, but now a current resident of Baltimore where his favorite thing to do when he is off work, besides wheat pasting, is to peruse the local farmers markets.

Influences from his peers and the people that he works with offer the most valuable critique and direction of his works.

He lists Swoon as one of his favorite street artists, because of the depth of her installations and social programs are boundless.

Read more about his interview at Wooster Collective here.

Carving the linoleum for his pieces takes a couple of days, according to Gaia.  Reminds me of the movie Seven, where the killer leaves linoleum carvings in the victims stomach as a clue for the detectives.

Linoleum is considered a green floor because it is made from linseed oil, pine rosin, ground cork dust, wood flour and mineral fillers such as calcium carbonate.  Burlap is often used as backing and the new inlaid versions of linoleum are extremely durable.  I’m sure, the inventor, Frederick Walton wasn’t thinking Gaia would use his great 1855 invention for the application of street art.
