International graffiti collective founded in Aotearoa in 1996
Sneaking in to the end of the 80’s, Kairau 'Haser' Bradley is a New Zealand born local artist from West Auckland, now residing in London. Haser's work reflects a lifetime of exploring the limits and boundaries of the alphabet in the context of graffiti, he enjoys playing with the movement and stance of each letter and figurative shapes by incorporating playful elements into his works. Although his work is heavily influenced by the history of graffiti he believes he is paving his own path as he heads away from the traditional forms of graffiti as well as the alphabet.
Haser is a reflection of his environment and surroundings when it comes to the direction of his art, a nomadic sense of content but an underlying message of displacement, fear and love. Haser’s works are endless attempts of trying to tell a story of his fear of love, a place for his people and hope for a better world. Unable to identify with a style that speaks the language of his content has made it hard for Haser to build a family of works that begin to speak for themselves. However, through this process, he has begun to know what works and what doesn’t, what speaks volumes and what speaks truths, at 31 years old and a lifetime of searching for an identity, Haser believes he is finally at the beginning of his journey of a story worth telling.
