Faile


Faile is an international artist collective formed in 1999. Faile consists of Patrick McNeil (Canada) and Patrick Miller (USA) and is based in Brooklyn, New York. Faile is considered as one of the pioneers of international contemporary street art. Aiko Nakagawa (Japan) was a member of the collective until 2006.

The collectives gritty pop art motifs are inspired by comic books and pulp fiction novels and the underlying concepts are topics such as dualism and collaboration. The technique has developed from screen printing and wheat pasting to painting with stenciling over the top.

Faile has had solo exhibitions in places such as London, Tokyo, San Francisco and New York.
