Incase Curated by Arkitip Feat. André
The fifth installment of Curated by Arkitip features original André artwork—the distinctive “Mr. A” character that brought him street fame in Paris—screen-printed on an iPhone Slider Case as well as on a MacBook Sleeve, which features faux-leather construction, cotton-lined interior and André-branded YKK zipper pulls.
A native of Uppsala, Sweden, André began painting on the walls of Paris in 1985 and quickly became one of the city’s most prolific graffiti artists. He broke ground by becoming the first artist to use a character—”Mr. A,” a stick figure with a top hat—instead of a tag name. In “Love Graffiti,” one of his most famous projects, André spray paints a lover’s name in oversized bubble letters in a location of his client’s choice. In 2004, Andre and friends opened Le Baron, an elite and confidential micro-club created from a former bordello. André continues to redefine the art of nightlife itself. André splits his time between Paris and New York City.
