Drunk With Talent. The Fin Bec Winery Invites 8 Artists To Paint Special Labels.







On a beautiful sunny day in Sion, the wine region of southern Switzerland, the following eight graffiti and street artists from all over the world gathered for a fun project:
• Faith 47 (South Africa)
• Askew 1 (New Zealand)
• Mode 2 (United Kingdom)
• Revok 1 (United States)
• Deter (Switzerland-Geneva)
• Demes (Switzerland-Sion)
• Esow (Japon)
• Jasm (Switzerland-Lausanne)


above: the eight artists with gallery owner Yvo Mathier

Each artist was given a “canvas” made up of 84 wooden wine cases and asked to create an artful interpretation of any wine out of the myFINBEC collection. The final images produced by each of the eight artists are featured on the label of the bottles of their choosing which are sold by the half-case (ordering info at the very end of the post).
