Introducing Rubae Location Kiev, Ukraine Photography RUBAE Profile @rubae1 of the LEGZ Crew Running the new ground “Nowadays, you don’t surprise anyone with standard and classic graffiti”. Whether or not this statement is accurate could very much dependent on who is saying it and where they are. For the Ukrainian graffiti artist RUBAE of the LEGZ crew, it more or less sums up his current approach to his prolific graffiti practice on the Ukrainian “Kovalska” freight train wagons. ↓ The sky is the limit for RUBAE at the top of his game. 76 Artist in focus Rubae
As well as innovative graffiti styles, he focuses on a clever choice of reinvented iconic brand logos with his brand of technically apt graffiti style writing. With an exceptional choice of Montana BLACK can colors, his work formula is clear, readable, and accessible so that any member of the public can read and identify with it as well as maintaining a dialogue with his fellow initiated graffiti writers who come from all over to leave their mark on the Kovalska trains. Since 2002, RUBAE has been an active graffiti writer developing a well-established name for himself in his home city Kyiv and beyond. His original thirst and interest in commuter, metro, and subway trains had long been quenched as he concluded that the level of reward for effort seemed less and less valid to paint them. This made the transition in 2017 to focus on the green “Kovalska” wagons seem like an easy one. 480 smooth green wagons with no ridges in a size that is perfect for a single writer to cover with quality seemed as inviting as the ease to do them and the reward of seeing them constantly running the new ground in traffic. Taking their goods from the quarry to multiple destinations around the city with 50 to 100 painted wagons rolling together through Kyiv on any single run. ↑ ↑ In a move that brought peace to all parties, the Kovalska train markings were moved to the upper part of each wagon to stay legible for workers and make space for the graffiti below. ↑ Business as usual after the arrival of the Coronavirus. While the world turned white in fear, the freight trains became brighter than ever. Since 2002, RUBAE has been an active graffiti writer developing a well-established name for himself in his home city Kyiv and beyond ↑ The simple style that caught the eyes of many and made RUBAE shine through the cold Ukrainian winters. → “Caution, wet paint.” And warning tape to match. Don't cross this line, at least not if you intend to go over his piece. Artist in focus Rubae 77
