CLoakwork Orange Under the cloak of CLOAKWORK Montana BLACK Artist Series Can #22 – BLK2070 CLOAKWORK ORANGE Many lovers and practitioners of graffiti grow up being exposed to the iconic history and media of American graffiti culture. Spraycan Art, Subway Art, Wild Style, and Style Wars, are all media releases that helped document, shape, and form how graffiti was to develop all around the world. As with all information, some people are lucky enough to develop an opinion or understanding of the culture by making a pilgrimage to the source, others grow up with their own version of graffiti culture that often pays homage to New York with the stylistic tip of the hat, to acknowledge the architects of our culture who came before us.

Studio Interview René Van Kan → Cloakwork takes on the challenge of creating the Montana BLACK Artist Series can number #22, reborn as “Cloakwork Orange”. 18 Black Artist Edition Cloakwork
However, Asia and more specifically Malaysia is not New York. Although crossable, the boundaries of culture, popular culture, experience language, and beliefs can mean that the experience of a graffiti writer is very different from that of one growing up in Europe, the U.S.A, or even English-speaking countries in general. In the development of the Montana BLACK Artist Series can number #22 by Malaysian artist Cloakwork, the opportunity presented itself to try and learn more about graffiti culture in Asia and his country Malaysia, and how he came about designing his Cloakwork Orange variation of the Montana BLACK, Clockwork Orange BLK2070 color. After a few online chats, we got nearer to the perspectives of this talented young artist. This is what he had to share with us. The team behind Montana Cans is really professional and efficient, when I received the proof of my design, it was really amazing and it looked exactly like I designed it on the screen. An interview with Cloakwork Montana Cans Firstly welcome to this Montana Cans interview in light of the release of your new Montana BLACK Artist Series Can. It is a pleasure to have worked with you. How do you feel about the result of the final product? Cloakwork I’ve always been a fan of Montana Cans, honestly. I never dreamt that this day would come. I feel great and it is unbelievable. No words can truly describe how I feel, it’s like a milestone for me. The team behind Montana Cans is really professional and efficient, when I received the proof of my design, it was really amazing and it looked exactly like I designed it on the screen. MC How did it come about that you have become a featured artist for the Montana BLACK Artist Series Cans? CW When I was approached by the team to create some designs for the Montana Cans cotton bags, one of the designs I had submitted was a Cloakwork Orange artwork. They really liked the design and proposed that it should be considered for the upcoming Montana Black Artist Series. I was so stocked! Design-wise, it is totally different but the concept is still based on Cloakwork Orange. I had to come up with an idea that worked well on the cylinder can. I designed the character holding up a board as if he just got punished by the authorities for causing chaos in the city. But, he can’t wait to paint after that. MC How did you come to the idea of working with the color BLK2070 Clockwork Orange and is there any connection to the movie “A Clockwork Orange”? CW I noticed that there is a color named Clockwork Orange when I was approached by Montana Cans for Halloween Project in 2019. It immediately caught my attention and I imagined how cool it is to have my own color back then. I always like to incorporate some sort of interaction in my designs. For this can, I approached it with something playfulness and mischievousness. I designed the character holding up a board as if he just got punished by the authorities for causing chaos in the city. But, he can’t wait to paint after that. Black Artist Edition Cloakwork 19
