BLEK LE RAT (pronounced: [blзk le
ʁa]; born Xavier Prou, 1952) was one
of the first graffiti artists in Paris, and
has been described as the “Father of
Stencil Graffiti”. Prou began his artwork
in 1981, painting stencils of rats on the street walls
of Paris, describing the rat as ”the only free animal
in the city”, and one which ”spreads the plague
everywhere, just like street art”. His name originates
from the comic book Blek le Roc, using ”rat” as an
anagram for ”art”.
The program will be updated continously – please check nolimitboras.com for updates

THE LONDON POLICE The london
police started in 1998 when big english
geezers headed to Amsterdam to
rejuvenate the visually disappointing
streets of Hollands capital. They were
part of a small group of artists at the end of the last
century that helped pioneer a new street art movement. After a few years of mixing traveling and making art in the street TLP began to receive Worldwide
recognition for their contribution to the graffiti/street
art movement. They were included in many of the
books documenting the scene and invited for shows
and live drawing performances all over the globe.

ETAM CRU Etam Cru are ”Sainer” and
”Bezt”. “Sainer” born in 1988 in¸ódê,
Poland. By portraying real objects and
figures in untypical contexts, he invites
the viewer to the world of imagination
where the meanings are not strictly defined. The
viewer is encouraged to walk into Sainer’s surreal
story and continue it in his own, individual way.
“Bezt” (Mateusz Gapski) born in 1987 in Turek Poland.
He started doing graffiti around 1999/2000 and you
can see his work all around the world. He is connecting oil and acrylic painting with painting murals,
illustration and graffiti.
OLLIO Jonathan Josefsson made
himself a name as graffiti artist Ollio in
Gothenburg during the 21st century.
He stood out within the graffiti scene
in Gothenburg in the way he used and
placed his tags and paintings, he was also one of the
first established graffiti artist in Gothenburg to reveal
his identity. Whilst studying at the School of Design
and Crafts he discovered the similarities between
the spray can and the carpet tufting machine and
allowed his playful artistic idiom to be transferred
onto carpets.

EKTA (Daniel Götesson) born 1978,
got his education at London College of
Communication and whilst now living in
Gothenburg he works all across Europe. During the last couple of years Ekta
has created a number of large murals in Sweden,
Poland and England amongst other countries. He
mainly works with painting but also sculptures in material such as concrete and wood, this he has done
lately in conjunction with public art commissions for
municipalitys.
NATALIA RAK I was born in 1986. I
graduated with the Diploma of Spatial
and Poster Design in Academy of Fine
Arts in Lodz. I paint street art because I
like the contact with nature. I´m open
to the world, not like sitting in closed rooms. When
I´m painting a big wall I feel a magic of large surface.
I like to experience something new and have fun with
it. Thanks to that I can travel and see different places.
I like the smell of spray cans and I feel happy while
I´m painting.

ECB Hendrik ecb Beikirch is well
known for his brilliant black and white
portraits painted either on canvas or
on large buildings. His highly poetic
portraits often depict people from the
immediate neighborhood appearing strange and
familiar at the same time. Even though dedicated to
a meticulous realism, he sometimes likes to distort
his portraits by either stretching or compressing
them. Moreover, the dripping technique, making
single paint drops to run down, is a distinctive
feature of many of his works.
ISAAC CORDAL With the simple act
of miniaturization and thoughtful placement, Isaac Cordal magically expands
the imagination of pedestrians finding
his sculptures on the street. Cement
Eclipses is a critical definition of our behaviour as
a social mass. The art work intends to catch the
attention on our devalued relation with the nature
through a critical look to the collateral effects of our
evolution. With the master touch of a stage director,
the figures are placed in locations that quickly open
doors to other worlds. The scenes zoom in the routine tasks of the contemporary human being.
SEPTEMBER 4TH
A large scale mural takes an effort, more
than 11 in a Swedish city takes a hugh one.
No Limit Street Art Borås has been made
possible by lovely positive people, building
owners, authoritys, the municipality,
organisations and companys.
CAROLINA FALKHOLT She tends to
work in large scales, site specific and
through improvisation. In her practice
she deals with topics like the biographical, contemporary social issues and
local history. Her firm standpoints about issues like
feminism and artistic freedom, and the fact that she
with her work, and with her persona she take up big
public spaces which clashes with patriarchal structures and provokes discussion. Carolina Falkholt’s
artistic process on site is fierce and exact. Formally
the colourful sfumato-like backgrounds meet her significant line drawings that form intricate meshworks,
and typical motives are semiotic imagery and the
female body.
KOBRA Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra
utilizes bright colors and bold lines while staying true to a kaleidoscope theme
throughout his art. The technique of
repeating squares and triangles allows
him to bring to life the famous people he depicts
in his images. This checkered pattern, filled with
different textures, lines, and shading, builds up to
Eduardo Kobra’s final masterpiece, a larger than life
mural for all to see and marvel at.
The murals that will decorate the city of Borås are hopefully here to stay for a long time
to be enjoyed by many.
