Artists collaborate with non-profit for “No Can Left Behind”

It's a rare occurrence when the graffiti community rallies around a cause as a united front. But despite their various styles and ideologies, most graffiti and street artists discovered their passion when they held their first few spray cans, which are the main attraction of the Canlove show, "No Can Left Behind," at 941Geary Gallery in San Francisco. More after the jump.

It’s a rare occurrence when the graffiti community rallies around a cause as a united front. But despite their various styles and ideologies, most graffiti and street artists discovered their passion when they held their first few spray cans, which are the main attraction of the Canlove show, “No Can Left Behind,” at 941Geary Gallery in San Francisco. Though advertised as a solo show by the L.A.-based graffiti recycling organization, the diverse line-up of participating artists that collaborated with the non-profit included EINE, Risk, Hush, Kofie, Chor Boogie, APEX, Chad Hasegawa, Neon, Niels Shoe Muelman, Codak, Haste, Mearone, KrushTWS and PeopleLA. The artists resourcefully transformed 1,500 unusable cans (ahem, “can-vases”) donated by MTN Colors into a variety of paintings and sculptures. Check out our opening reception photos from last Saturday night courtesy of Ken Harman.

Gil Bruvel’s work seems to be both modern and craft movement inspired at the same time.

We’ve asked the artist to delve into his process and themes and a bit of his background as an artist. Click the image above to read our Hi-Fructose exclusive with the artist
