Graffiti and Street Art in Taipei, Taiwan.

In Taiwan, Graffiti and Street Art are quickly expanding subcultures. If you are an artist looking for places to buy graffiti art supplies in Taiwan and paint walls this article may be of use to get started. Here I will point out where to buy MTN, and other brands such as PP (taiwanese spray paint) and On The Run markers. 


Where to find graffiti art supplies in Taipei.

The licensed MTN dealer and the legal walls in Taipei city are run by the same team; Citymarx. The graffiti hall of fame in Taipei is located in Ximen Ding (also known as ‘ximen') . The map below shows how to get there. Unlike european legal walls where you can just paint anything anytime the graffiti walls in Ximen are run by Citymarx crew. This does not mean that you need to be extremely good at painting but it’s more of a management that takes care of everybody's art and allows your wall to stay up for a fair amount of time.

臺北市電影主題公園 Taipei Cinema Park. To arrange an appointment for buying MTN spraypaint, go to www.facebook.com/citymarx , send a text before you are coming down. If you do not have facebook you can also come in the afternoon  and ask around for Jimmy or MTN paint, there is a huge sculpture of Godzilla  made out of  recycled spraycans, the office behind it usually has CITYMARX  members willing to help. We have all colours in stock all year round. If you want to paint in this hall of fame you can ask a CITYMARX member for a spot, this is  to prevent unwanted tension among other artists and to keep the fresh walls  untouched for a while.

My first 30 minutes in Hong Kong I was quite overwhelmed. I wasn’t sure if all this infrastructure was really possible or if I was to wake up and it was all a dream. It’s not easy to compare this city with another since it is such a mix of countries, cultures, continents and different infrastructures. The journey to find a descent spot brought us to hidden spots like the www.dirty-panda.com graffiti supplies, to find some MTN 94 that i used on the rooftop of Pantone C (www.pantonegraffiti.com). It wasn’t my first time to find a legal spot on a rooftop since I had a similar experience in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and in Osaka Japan. It somehow gives a feeling of peace and serenity to be on top of the city with only the sky above you, the wall in front of you, the smell of paint, the city sounds of sirens, crazy rush hour horns and buzzing traffic. I was limited in time and I felt like putting up my citymarx www.citymarx.com and www.biki90.nl friends up as well as my name so I decided to rock another e2e graffiti spaceship in a black and blue galaxy.

A travel program on german television asked Citymarx to do an interview about Taiwanese graffiti and street art, so we decided to extend the wall with my graffiti spaceship of two weeks before. It was a sunday afternoon well spent! I took care of the background, while Joker did a Citymarx piece and Bio rocked a science fiction graffiti tattoo manga character. Wang kept the host Betty busy with her first graffiti experience and introduction to the scene.

As Citymarx members, we were representing at the Converse S/S 2015 collection expo party last Tuesday which had some crazy new models and some exclusive sneakers on display. I was very happy to check out the FUTURA sneakers. Besides the booze and food they had some goodies for the ones wearing their sneakers at the event; a photo frame with a crisp sharp print of a photo of your pair of Converse sneakers!
