Hello, my name is Evgeny Ches, and I’m a graffiti artist from Moscow, Russia. I started painting graffiti at the end of the ’90s. Currently, I continue to paint graffiti drawings on the streets and various art mediums. I also organize various events and exhibitions.
I painted my first graffiti-style animal drawing on a transparent plastic wrap around eight years ago in the forest. It was an experiment to take urban street art and move it to a natural landscape. I call my technique Cellograffiti. It is a simple way to paint in places where you don’t have a wall and do it in 2 minutes!
I painted my first animal, a squirrel, in 2014. In our world, plastic waste is a big problem, and a lot of animals suffer from plastic pollution caused by people, but in my artwork, animals and plastic exist together. I paint most of my artwork during the events or in the parks and later remove all the film for plastic recycling.
Thanks for watching! You can check out the artwork I have previously shared on Bored Panda.

Share on FacebookDownvote me, but I think that we produce enough plastic waste already. This seems unnecessary, although it does look nice
The work itself it beautiful, the plastic really detracts from the work. It was the first thing I noticed. Pick a different medium, one that will give your work the showcase it deserves.
I love the art, but I hope he takes them down after the event or taking pictures so any animals won’t get sick if they chew on it.
Yes, they said in the very beginning that the plastic is taken down after events

I suggest he put the artwork on a backing after the event and sell it as a permanent work of art.
Hmm, trying this on (plexi) glass is a idea? Way more transparant and way better for the nature you're promoting with your art. Great work, really jalous of your talent!!

Wow! Such detail with spray cans... but I can't help but agree that we have too much plastic used in the world, and not sure how plastic cellophane wrap can be "recycled." Would like to see his work on a more suitable substrate. Otherwise good work.
THE WORLD DOESN'T NEED MORE EFFING PLASTIC. SHEESH... WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY?
You are very talent but plastic and cans? No thanks, not eviront friendly.
Very Nice, i really liked the penguins and the attack chopper in the garage!
Sorry to say but i downvote this because of the stupid fact you use plastic wrap as canvas for your art. Wake up.
You are talented, no question about that. But after reading you say "Please, it's so boring to read comments about plastic" hell to the no with your work. Use a natural resource for your canvas. If you want to "express" a correlation between our plastic world and animals, just realize real quick that you are already using a bunch of chemicals and toxins on your spray paint. Hint: only clean and dry pastic film can be recycled.
How do you present your art when the plastics does not last, that surrounds the art. My opinion towards you as an art suggestion to improve your art perhaps you should use glass or a durable plastic.
Art can also be ephemeral, take mandalas for example. The real problem here is the excessive environmental damage and unconscious waste justified in the name of art. No more plastic please!!!

You've got a talented hand but that doesn't excuse poor ecological practices.
