David Louf "Mr. June"

David Louf, aka Mr. June, started graffiti in 1985 in the south of the Netherlands after first coming up as a B-boy and breakdancer in the nineties. After working as a graphic designer for fifteen years, Louf decided that to be able to truly excel at his work he needed to focus all his creative energy into one project.

His sense of design, art, graffiti, and murals were all combined into a single artistic endeavor, hinging upon his canvases and murals working in tandem. It led him on a quest for the perfect form, which he found in the hexagon. Employing perspective in a painting, this shape can also become the imagined outline of a cube tilted to the side.

Since he formed this idea, Louf has made it the subject of every single one of the unbroken sequence of cube canvases he has been painting ever since. His mural work is based on the dynamics between the artist and the specific site. As a result, he presents the viewer with an alternative experience of the environment, optically manipulated by form, colors, and perspectives.

Louf responds to the wall and the surroundings in order to create a unique cohesiveness with the environment, the painting, and the viewer. This gives him the ultimate creative freedom to enjoy the process.
