Street Art Focus: Cern

WORDS Lindi Brownell Meiring VIDEO via Navigate on Vimeo)


Directed and edited by Jared Levy, this beautifully shot video follows well-known New York-based street artist Cern as he talks about what art means to him and how it affects his daily life.

“Art was something that awakened me out of a lot of unconscious activity,” he explains. In this short, Cern opens up about his struggles and talks about the potential we all have to do something great.

It’s definitely worth a watch.

P.S. Cern actually visited Cape Town in February 2012 and created the below murals.
