RRI.CO.ID, Karanganyar - The global street art community turned its eyes to Central Java over the weekend as dozens of world-class urban artists gathered for the international Meeting of Styles (MOS) 2026. Hosted at the Belazo Art Space (BAS), a specialized creative facility operated by eco-friendly paint manufacturer PT Indaco Warna Dunia, the high-octane festival ran from Saturday to Sunday, May 16–17, 2026, marking one of the largest gatherings of street artists in Southeast Asia.

Now in its fifth consecutive year since its local debut in 2022, the Karanganyar chapter of MOS has evolved into a highly respected fixture on the global urban art calendar. This year’s event saw a massive logistical and structural leap forward.

“What we feel this year is that everything has become much more mature. The atmosphere of cooperation between the committee, participants, and the graffiti artists from abroad and domestically feels more solid. The event is more orderly, and the execution of the painting process is much smoother,” noted President Director of PT Indaco Warna Dunia, Iwan Adranacus, on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, as quoted by Antara.

The 2026 iteration brought together 50 prominent graffiti artists hailing from 19 different nations, including heavyweight creators from Russia, Greece, Australia, India, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and various neighboring Southeast Asian countries.

According to organizers, the smooth operational workflow on the massive walls was primarily due to the veteran status of the attendees. Because the lineup consisted predominantly of senior figures within the international street art scene, they required minimal oversight, intuitively understanding the shared concepts, visual pacing, and collaborative culture that defines the MOS philosophy.

Artistically, MOS 2026 was curated under the poignant theme of Togetherness. The theme was deliberately selected by the organizing committee as a direct, creative antidote to the fracturing state of modern international relations.

“We feel that the world is currently fractured due to an incredibly tense geopolitical situation. Because of that, the global community needs to be reminded of the paramount importance of togetherness,” Adranacus explained, emphasizing art's unique soft-power capability to echo messages of unity and peace when diplomacy falters.

For PT Indaco Warna Dunia, the parent company behind the Belazo Graffiti Aerosol brand, hosting the world's street art elite serves a dual purpose. Beyond providing a philanthropic platform for subcultural expression, MOS operates as a highly sophisticated, high-return international B2B marketing engine.

The visiting artists do not merely act as guests; they function as live product testers and high-value buyers. By handing international spray-paint veterans the Belazo cans to coat the massive brick surfaces of the Belazo Art Space, the company allows the quality, pressure consistency, and pigment density of Indonesian-made aerosol to prove itself on the field.

This direct-experience marketing model has yielded massive dividends. Global market trust in the Belazo lineup has scaled rapidly since the festival's second year, culminating in sustained international exports of Indonesian graffiti aerosol to multiple foreign countries since 2024.

The momentum was further amplified by the commercial rollout of their latest premium product, the Belazo A-Z Series, which debuted in 2025 to rave reviews from both domestic writers and overseas crews. The global validation has caused a wave of pride back home, sparking an unprecedented surge in demand among local Indonesian graffiti communities eager to paint with export-grade homegrown supplies. ***
