Who is Akay

Akay or Akayism as he is also known is a graffiti painter and street artist who has been active in the Swedish graffiti scene since the 80s. In the 90s, Street Art or street art became a bigger phenomenon in Sweden and Akay was one of those who stood out the most and made a big impact in the Stockholm scene. Akayism is a fictional ideology that Akay started promoting with large posters in the 90s/00s. In addition to his notorious posters, he has done many other art projects. Some examples of his classic works are:

• Traffic Island
• I'm Sorry (Förlåt)
• Expressen ljuger och fantiserar
• Buy a Life (Köp ett liv)

Akay has, in collaboration with other big names in the Swedish street art scene such as Klisterpeter, Adams and Olabo have done a lot of interesting art projects over the years. We strongly recommend checking out his books if you are interested in Street Art. A living legend.
