CANVAS CITY: DANE STOPS

| |
Dane Stops is a Durban Street Art heavyweight and (in my humble opinion) the best 3D artist in the city.  

His use of light and shadow skillfully accentuate perspective and the relationship between the 2D surface and 3D representation. Dane is fascinated by ‘realistic’ representations of form using various objects to take the form of letters. My favorite of these being his octopi G letters which are simply mind blowing!

His influences include Stefan Sagmeister, How & Nosm, Ces, Daim, FX crew, Esk and Phek.

In 2012 Dane took top honors in a Sprite competition which saw him win a trip to America which heightened his profile.

You can connect with Dane via his blog or on Twitter and if you would like to commission a piece you can email him directly.
