The Krah is one of the most known and cutting edge street-artists to come out of Greece. Brought up in Athens he started graffiti back in 1997. His talents earned him a spot in the SR Squad, which is one of the top graffiti crews in Athens. They are notorious for doing graffiti on both the subway and metro lines. The SR Squad quickly became known around the European graffiti scene through graffiti magazines, videos and from frequent inter-rail tours around Europe. In his late teens, The Krah studied illustration in the UK where he was drafted into the 101 crew and continued to terrorise the trains for many years to come.
The Krah frequently visits Athens and together with b., he was one of the first graffiti artists in Greece that moved from the classic graffiti style to using paintbrushes, stencils and other techniques to draw on the streets. Now The Krah lives a life of leisure and works as an artist/illustrator based in London. However he still finds time to be an active street-artist living and scribbling all over London. His passion is particularly evident in the streets around the Brick Lane and Shorditch areas of East London. His street-art can be seen on websites such as Wooster collective, Eco-system and Art-Crimes. Occasionally he even puts down his paintbrush to attend live painting graffiti festivals such as the Cans festival, Write4Gold, Sleeping Giants and Meeting of Styles.
Many of The Krah's characters have found their way onto the pages of numerous magazines and books all over Europe and he has also worked as an animator for an on-line computer games company. He is continually exhibiting and has held previous exhibitions in Tokyo, Athens and in the U.K.
