Ces53

Boundary-pushing graffiti writer CES53 publishes an overview of his 40 years of work for the first time. “Ces53 – CLOWN / MASTER MANIPULATOR / STYLE MASTER / BAD BOY / LEGEND / WRITER / ANARCHIST / FREAK / FOOL / BOUNDARY BREAKER / ARTIST” showcases a huge selection of Ces53’s artwork. Drawings, paintings, sculptures, legal, illegal, shocking and beautiful. All compiled in a 400 page full color, hard cover bound book. With almost 2000 photos, it is probably the first graffiti writer to show so much work in 1 book.

Ces53 was the first to paint a train from left to right, top to bottom in Holland, he was the one who made train writing a true crusade in Holland, he was the first to paint a train in Belgium, for most non-Germans he is the one who put Berlin on the map as a graffiti playground. Ces53 was the first person to be imprisoned for more than a night or two for graffiti in the Netherlands.

He made train graffiti a true religion, and inspired the infamous MSN crew, and many others in the Netherlands and the rest of Europe. Besides all the facts, Ces53 is a true and original when it comes to authenticity and style; the shapes, the characters, the colors…it’s all his. His work from his childhood to the recent graffiti on trains is now available in a carefully designed book. With text contributions from Milk, Eras, Sento, Cat22 and many others.
