ANTISTROT is a Rotterdam based artist collective. They sit around a table and paint on the same canvas in synchronicity. They literally paint together in ’sessions’ that are always fun filled events, and spawn a myriad of ideas. We see a dramatic collage in the signature comic influenced graphic style of a plane and funny and scary figures making all sorts of trouble.
