Meet Street Artist Dick Chicken

Street artist Dick Chicken, also known as Richard Poultry, has generated some serious buzz for his phallic-faced chicken image that has popped up all over New York in the form of stencils,  posters, tags, stickers and drawings. The artist recently took time off from his street art campaign to talk with Playboy about where the idea of Dick Chicken came from, what he thinks about his meteoric rise to fame in the art world and why he has to work “twice as hard”  as everyone else.

Distasteful, down-right dumb or wickedly witty, whatever your view of Dick Chicken’s work one thing is clear, he has no plans of stopping anytime soon.

Walrus TV Artist Feature: Above

“Often found hanging from power lines or melding with urban architecture, Above’s site specific stencils, paintings, and installations push past the traditional expectations of graffiti. The evolution of his name from text to a symbol inspired him to explore less conventional media, leading to his trademark wooden mobiles. Whether subtle or massive, his pieces retain an innate sense of beauty through their dialogue with the surrounding environment. Refusing to show his work in galleries, Above has instead ‘toured’ through Europe and North and South America to get his work up. Watch the interview from ‘The Run Up,’ available for the first time to the public for free, on Walrus TV” (Walrus TV).
