DZIA

By Arden de Raaij

Any street artist having a bunny with a hand grenade as logo is cool in our book, so no wonder we had to feature Dzia sooner or later! Dzia is an immensely diverse artist from the city of Antwerp, Belgium. He’s continuously busy on and off the streets creating paintings, illustrations and paste-ups to installations, sculptures and even taxidermy! It’s almost needless to say that what I like about DZIA is this immense diversity. One of my favourite projects of him is ‘30 nights‘ where he created a piece of art to leave in the streets every day. Now this concept might sound a bit familiar, but I guarantee you haven’t seen it the way DZIA does it. But also his street art illustrations and paste-ups are a great addition to the streets. As a matter of fact, there’s plenty of more interesting work going on so I suggest to check out his website.

Besides his own artwork, he also creates the bi-monthly (“the issue comes out every two months no matter what shit goes down”) custom magazine KRANK, made with what we call ‘the CFYE formula’. This means that the magazine is filled with art and artists Dzia represents, with or without hand grenade.
