Veli Silver (Slovenia) and Amos Angeles (Switzerland) met on the streets of Bucharest in 2008. The two artists have been working in Zurich under the name Veli&Amos since 2010. Veli&Amos’ multimedia art brings together painting, video, music and performance. Veli&Amos produce video clips and pop songs, appeal for participation in their long-term project “Let’s save the whales international”, spray canvases not only with aerosols but also with prepared fire extinguishers, and take centre stage as the protagonists and main characters of their media productions. With their film Style Wars 2 (2013), a humorous contemporary homage to the legendary cult film “Style Wars” about the early New York graffiti scene in the 1970s, the duo toured international creative spaces and film festivals in Germany, Russia, Israel and the United States amongst others, following a successful premiere in Zurich.
