The principle is simple: with a finger, a damp rag or a pressure hose, freestyle or with a stencil, reverse-graffiti* artist ALEXANDRE ORION creates work by removing dirt from walls, pavement and any other surface besmirched by pollution.

The result is brilliant; completely inoffensive to the environment and above all, not a crime. The original idea was to make a statement about pollution, by removing pollutiom with art. The idea was not only to denounce pollution, though, but also to make our world a cleaner place: after all, the only way to remove reverse graffiti, is to clean the wall on which it's been created!

ALEXANDRE ORION spended the past few years drawing skulls in the grimy tunnels of São Paulo (Brazil), his home city. At night, a bucket in hand, he goes where the cars pass, an anti-pollution mask on his face, and creates what he calls "Art Less Pollution".
