Michal Škapa ⎸ Limited Lithograph Akihabara – Grey Michal Škapa

Product detailed description

The artwork Akihabara was created exclusively for the Kunsthalle Praha Design Shop as one of two special limited editions by Michal Škapa. It captures the atmosphere of the Tokyo district of the same name – a space of wild architecture, neon lights, video game shops, and vibrant urban energy.

Detailed drawings of urban structures are intersected with raw strokes and sketches that reflect the dynamics and constant motion of the city. The work continues Škapa’s long-term practice inspired by the urban landscape, graffiti, and subcultures that have shaped him since the 1990s.

Akihabara is also the artist’s largest lithograph to date, printed on a special lithographic stone. Each piece was handmade, underscoring its authenticity and collector’s value.

Michal Škapa

He is part of the strong generation of Czech writers who appeared on the Czech graffiti scene in the early 1990s and went through key groups of the time – from the old-school DSK crew to the provocative CAP. He also confronted the international scene, such as with his successful hit on the New York subway at the turn of the millennium. He is linked to Prague’s legendary Trafačka and has collaborated with MeetFactory for nearly 15 years, where he also has a studio. His artistic practice spans media from murals, acrylic painting, and airbrush to site-specific installations and light objects. He co-founded the screen-print workshop Analog!Bros and is a close collaborator of the BiggBoss label.
