On the occasion of Montana Colors’ 25th anniversary, the classic hardcore design is once again in circulation, in the colors Electric Blue, Light Yellow, White, Black, Silver and Bright Red.

In order to present this novelty, on the one hand we have the Barcelona writer Iber showing off his magnificent and timeless style —  wearing a sweatshirt with the same design — in a video with the nostalgic touch of vintage aesthetics. On the other hand and, reinforcing the endearing nature that this release has for us, we have compiled some important moments in the history of contemporary graffiti where you can see the fundamental role that Hardcore has played over the years.

THIS IS NOT GRAFFITI depicts JONONE’s physical relationship with painting and intense personality. His love for boxing results from an unconditional need for self-expression and places some interesting light on the development of a movement which has made its way to the art auctions halls. Those who made this long and difficult path were the genuine artists. THIS IS NOT GRAFFITI is an introspective look back at JONONE’s 30 years career which places the present days not as an end, bu as a beginning!

JONONE is an iconic and extremely prolific artist born in New york city and living in Paris (France) for more than 20 years, he received the french egion of Honour on the 21st of JAnuary 2015, and a painting which he specifically produced is being exhibited in the national assembly’s public part.

Tanc is the one who is next in line in this round of Water Based Studio Works. His works fits within the tendencies of contemporary art, and even if it keeps its distance to his productions in the street, the aesthetics of his scribbles can remind you of graffiti with a more vandalistic character.
A old building block of offices converted into a studio is the laboratory for this parisian artist which shares space with L’atlas, Pablo Cots and Jonone are some of the other studio mates in the building… which in its turn shows us at what level of professionalism that the urban artists in Paris is surrounded by. It might have something to do with the city’s concentration of artistic history.
