Profile: 123klan

Society still has an ambivalent attitude to graffiti. Multinational corporations pay graffiti artists to perform live writing events in building foyers, while their freelance counterparts are getting their collars felt for tagging the outsides of the same buildings. It's a question of ownership.

The French duo known only as Scien and Klor has come in from the cold.

Their client list includes the likes of Sony, Carhartt and Stussy.
