25 years of graffiti through the eyes of Kaos – Vandals In Motion!

Kaos – Vandals In Motion is the story about one of Europe’s most famous graffiti artists.

Through the words of Kaos along with an incredible number of photos, articles, flyers and multiple interviews with key players the story of Swedish and European graffiti is told.

Starting out in the town of Uppsala with the arrival of graffiti and hiphop culture in the mid 80s, Kaos moved to Stockholm in 1987 where he soon became one of the most active and important graffiti writers.

Kaos – Vandals In Motion shows the close link between Kaos and the development of the graffiti scene, as well as his hometown Stockholm’s importance for European graffiti in general.

Kaos’ impact on Swedish and European graffiti can not be understated as he’s been part of almost every single turning point within Swedish graffiti. As a part of internationally known graffiti crews as VIM, MOA, ALL and MSN, he’s also the main link to artists from all over Europe and the world. Kaos is still active as a graffiti artist today and still a key player.

Kaos’ work includes the entire graffiti spectrum, from illegally painted walls and trains with the nerve and serious risk of getting caught, to exhibitions, art shows and commissioned work for huge companies, clothing design and participation in hiphop jams and events all over Europe.

Featuring 25 years of photos, articles, flyers and interviews, Kaos – Vandals In Motion is the most comprehensive book ever made about a Swedish graffiti artist.
