On a recent visit to Berlin I ventured to Bülowstraße in Schöneberg, with the sole purpose of getting a glimpse of URBAN NATION’s HQ street art. I’d caught sight of Super A and Collin van der Sluijs ‘Starling’ on Colossal, produced through the not-for-profit initiative, and I was keen to see what other murals UN had helped bring to Berlin's streets.

I’ve increasingly become fascinated by urban art, which is a hugely important and increasingly admired 21st century art form, capable of bringing cities to life and allowing people to find expression within the very fabric of places.

The question is, what is he trying to say with his new work?

Essex-born street artist Dan Kitchener (DANK) caught my eye a year or so ago with ‘Euphoria’ on Great Eastern Street, Shoreditch.

​I was impressed by his use of light and colour, and how realistic his work was; it captured the essence of city living, the busy-ness of commuting. I got in touch with Dan to talk about his work and to hear what inspires him...
