Kirill Kto is one of the most active and distinctive urban romantics and artists. In the past, he participated in the teams "Why?", No Future Forever, but then he began to engage in individual creativity, looking for interesting objects on the streets. Kirill is trying to fight dullness, dangerous advertising constructions, and the lack of comfortable public space in cities.
Kirill Kto is from Zelenograd, he was born in 1984. The young man began to pay attention to graffiti in 1996, at the same time he tried to develop his own style. Kirill was engaged in street art as part of "Why?" (2002-2009) and No Future Forever (2005-2009). He is also the organizer and participant of projects promoting street art, GoVEGAs (2003), Gopstop (2004), Original Fake (2005) and Winzavod (2006). Who travels to the cities of Russia, where he gives lectures in which he talks about his vision of the world.
He deliberately does not join groups of street artists, preferring the life of an independent "lone wolf". But Kirill explores this environment, its tendencies and directions. Sometimes he even publicly criticizes the graffiti subculture on legal sites and on the streets. His famous projects: No name no fame no shame (2009), “No one can be called anything” (2010), “Many bukoffs” (2010), “Holy Empty Places” (2011), “The Wall”.
Kirill Kto reminds people that not everything that is pasted or written on the wall is advertising. He believes that since society and the media recognized the existence of street culture, graffiti has become faceless "pop" examples of fashionable designs. The conversation with society has disappeared, there is no dialogue. Kirill believes that the graffiti on the walls should convey an idea, meaning, initiative. Do not shock passers-by, because there is enough fear and horror in real life, namely, to pay attention to the problems of the city, which can be solved by common efforts.
Society for the most part is indifferent to the existence of the homeless next to it, to what is happening in the world and politics. Weekend wariors street artists, of whom there are about five thousand in Moscow, are young and do not put any ideas into their art. Moreover, they are sponsored by companies that produce paints in aerosol cans. The street art crowd began to take control, so it became very difficult to stand out there. Kirill Who goes his own way.
Who has no art education. He considers it stagnant, mired in the dogmas of the past, divorced from reality. Cyril creates on the street and in the studio, where often someone spends the night, everything moves and changes. The young man does not have his own corner-apartment, before he considered the street his home, but now he has matured and recognizes the need for a person to have his own home.
