Description - Broken Fingaz by Charlotte Jansen

Broken Fingaz (BFC) is a psycho-pop collective of four young Israelis from Haifa. BFC began in 2001 as graffiti artists, but soon became internationally active in multiple disciplines: street art, animation, installation, painting, murals, and graphics. With their unique visual style – a mix of skateboard visuals, pulp comics, B-movies, and neo-psychedelics – they breach the wall between the so-called High Arts and popular culture. They have a worldwide fan base and have produced artwork for, among others, U2, Beck, Pearl Jam, and Blink 182. BFC has participated in group shows at the Saatchi Gallery London ('Alchemy', 'Jealous Needs You') and 'Beyond the Streets' in New York.
