Bond TruLuv

Born and raised in Germany, Bond TruLuv became involved with graffiti-writing at the beginning of this millennium. Since then, he has eagerly committed himself to examining new ways of composing letters and calligraphic ways of expression, as well as modes of fine arts and graphic design. His permanent longing for transformation and variation in terms of material and style is cultivated through extensive travelling with a search for environments and sceneries that can inspire new bodies of work.

As a multimedia artist, Bond TruLuv is constantly experimenting with different materials such as canvases, installations, video-mapping, and long exposure photography. Lately, he has been focused on incorporating new technologies and was the first graffiti artist to embed augmented reality (AR) animations into his artworks. Pushing the boundaries of urban contemporary art further, Bond TruLuv creates spectacularly vivid images, morphing reality and dimensions within the letters and the locations they are applied in.

After receiving his MA in Anthropology in 2010 and participating in the Darmasiswa scholarship at the University of Arts (ISI) in Yogjakarta, Indonesia he has been working as an independent artist, travelling all over the world painting walls. The artistic map of Bond TruLuv features murals and exhibitions all over Europe, Africa and especially Asian countries such as India, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan.
