AN artist has taken graffiti to incredible new levels with his
extraordinary lifelike portraits. The 39-year-old, known only as Akse,
uses spray cans alone to create his intricate photorealism murals on
walls across the UK. The familiar face of Hollywood star Anthony Hopkins
appears in stunning detail. Akse's work also includes portraits of
actors Javier Bardem and Christopher Walken, as well as the late Amy
Winehouse. Each three-metre mural can take up to two days to complete --
but Akse, from Manchester, doesn't have to worry about working in
secret. Unlike traditional graffiti artists, he chooses to paint on
legal sites.
