I first became aware of Chris Silva a few years ago when he was featured in Cody Hudson's spot on The Run Up; a DVD containing one-on-one interviews with a whole host of contemporary graffiti and street artists, desigers and photographers.
The great thing about Chris is, not just his artwork, but the fact that he really is about art as a collaborative and giving experience... collaborating not only with other artists, like on The Run Up with Cody and Mike Genovese in Chicago, but also working on projects like Yollocalli Arts Reach (last picture, below) which encourages youth creativity through experimental learning and collaboration with emerging artists.
Here are just a few examples of his great, upcycled collaborations with his wife, Lauren Feece. They totally inspire me to just create art out of anything, for anyone, in order to just give something of yourself and put something out there in the world.
