Hugo Kaagman is a true stencil pioneer, probably the first stencil artist in Europe (he
made his first stencil in 1978, meaning he had stencils out long before Blek le Rat got
busy in France). In the USA, John Fekner allready put stencils out in the streets in
1976, but these were texts only, contextualizing the environment.
Hugo has got it all: punk, reggae, politics, geometric patterns, humor – and a great
sense of colour. I have collected some of his early stencil works and had the pleasure
of making a great book book with him: Stencil King, which was published in 2009 by
Lebowski Publishers.
