Royal Guard - Stockholm 2012

"With a symbolic alteration of Swedish Royal figures and sovereignty ripped apart by vivid forms of graffiti tags, Swedish Royal and monarch names dating back centuries, are placed in almost an architectural manner to decorate figures to poetically carry vandalism into art.  realistic rendition of the Swedish Dala Horses, Shai uses them as a metaphor for urban art to create a dialogue between the conformity and foundation of Royal history and the scorned graffiti culture that authoritative leaders have tried to prevent from advancement."
