(from BMW Press
Release) New York street artist uses MINI as a canvas. The
KRINK MINI.
Munich. What do the MINI
and street art have in common? MINI has always been a defining
feature of the streetscapes of major cities and itself constitutes a
part of urban street culture. Exceptional design has traditionally
been an aspiration of the brand – a passion shared by the champions
of creative street art.
Last week in Hamburg, the legendary New York street artist Craig
“KR” Costello customised a MINI in his own unique style. His
trademark is the so-called KRINK dripping ink look, in which paint
runs down an object as if it had been too thickly applied. The
entire MINI was given the typical KRINK drip treatment by the
creative artist from Brooklyn, with silver paint running down the
distinctive contours of the black MINI – along its body as well as
the side and rear windows. The project was accompanied by the “Erste
Liebe Film” and captured by photographer Ali Salehi.

About KRINK.
Craig “KR” Costello rose
to fame in the 90s art scene with his signature dripping silver
paint, which gave rise to the KRINK brand. Today his tags can be
found in metropolises around the world – in building entrances, on
walls, in underground stations, on street signs etc. As a youngster
growing up in New York’s Queens district, KR already began
developing graffiti paints. What started out as a personal
experimentation with homemade materials swiftly evolved into a
product range – initially strictly limited – of special silver paint
in bottles, which he handed out to chosen friends. Out of this would
grow a flourishing business which, under the name KRINK (from
KR-INK), offers a wide range of special markers and inks which are a
byword for top quality and enjoy true cult status.
