FAKE is a street artist from Amsterdam with a huge range of pieces of work which all seem to revolve around children… just kidding, although they do feature heavily in his work.
FAKE mainly uses stencils to create his masterpieces and sticks to black and white paint only using colour to highlight sections of his work. He has recently uploaded one of his ‘Street Action’ videos showing him getting up in his home town of Amsterdam.
The video is short and sweet and shows him getting one of his iconic designs up on a bill board. Watch the video below:

I don’t think you know what you are talking about. Black and white? Colour to highlight his stencils? Have you seen the grenade? the gun? the peace mobile? the humming bird? etc etc.
What I meant was he uses colour selectively. Fake sticks to his black and white but, as in the case with the grenades, the gun etc., he uses colour to highlight the work.
You can’t disagree with the fact he uses a lot of black and white and limited colour. But, where he does use colour, he uses it very well.
