Cloak was made as part of a collaborative drop for Streetlab.

"About" by Streetlab:

In "Cloak of the Night," viewers are transported to a closed skatepark in the heart of a bustling city. The piece exudes an atmosphere of nocturnal secrecy, with the distant hum of trains and the faint sound of skateboards echoing through the air. It captures the spirit of a safe haven, a place where friends gather to unwind and express their creativity through the vibrant medium of graffiti. Through this artwork, Bastien beautifully captures the camaraderie and sense of belonging that street art cultivates among skateboarders, spray painters, and their close-knit communities.

The creative process behind "Cloak of the Night" involved careful consideration of composition and key elements. The focal point of the piece lies in the captivating graffiti tags and artwork adorning the walls of the skatepark. Bastien deliberately aimed to create a visually striking representation of street art, infusing the composition with a dark and mysterious ambiance. Green artificial lights illuminate the skatepark, adding an otherworldly glow that enhances the overall atmosphere.

Through "Cloak of the Night," Bastien invites viewers to immerse themselves in the world of street art, evoking memories, inspirations, and a sense of belonging. It serves as a testament to the transformative power of street art and the profound impact it can have on individuals and communities. With its amazing visuals and homage to the CC0 movement, this artwork stands as a testament to Bastien's dedication to his craft and his desire to bridge the realms of street art and web3 culture.
