Argiris Saraslanidis SER - Greece | Street Art, Graffiti
Born in Thessaloniki and studied Graphic Design and illustration. Argiris SER is one of the pioneers of the Urban - Street Art Scene of Greece, largely responsible for its formation and an influencer of younger local artists and peers alike.
His work - a curiously eclectic blend of old school graffiti, comic culture and pop surrealism - has a dark undertone yet is highly satirical, employing an arsenal of monstrous but somewhat benign characters, to highlight and comment on the absurdity of human nature. SER's work is all over Greece, in the form of large-scale murals, paintings placed in important collections, and commercial work, created in association with major local and international brands. He has an active presence in Europe, never missing the opportunity to fly around to create a quick wall.
