Street Art

A delayed mural ordinance is creating confusion and frustration amongst artists, and building owners in Los Angeles.  A recent wall painted by Zes, Push, Chris Brand, and Evan Skrederstu was painted over to serve as a backdrop for a production company, while another wall painted by Sand, Vyal, and Cope2 was buffed out by orders of the LAPD saying it was illegal to have a mural or graffiti piece on their property.

Australia-based street artist, Shida, recently visited Austria where he collaborated with local heavyweight Nychos.  The two different styles compliment each other well on this underpass wall.  It has been a while since we have seen Nychos not dissect and separate his character into pieces.

Members of the French artist collective known as Da Mental Vaporz, Blo and Jaw, recently collaborated on the following collage style mural in Melbourne, Australia.  Looking good!

Alexis Diaz and Juan Fernandez who work under the name, La Pandilla, were recently in Mexico City painting the following mural.   The two artists used small brushes and Chinese ink to paint the highly detailed features for closer viewing.

In 2009, Argentina-based sculptor, Adrián Villar Rojas, created a life-size blue whale deep in the woods of Ushuaia, Argentina.  The 31-year-old artist used wood, rocks, and clay to create this behemoth of piece.  Wonder if the whale was left to reclaimed by the earth?

Here is a new square shaped psychedelic face painting with a smaller little guy to the side by Paris street artist, Nosbe.

In an effort to bring attention to the amount of clothing discarded everyday in the U.K., fashion department store Marks & Spencer created a project call Shwopping.  Claiming that approximately 10,000 articles of clothing go to landfills every five minutes, the project constructed a public display of that exact number of clothing on the exterior of an East London building for better visualization.

Other was recently lurking around in South West Baltimore and painted a portrait of a local resident named Kaki.

Bue and Mazuprozak recently gave this small local Belgium skatepark some new color and cheerfulness.

Nychos’s most recent mural painted in Paris depicts the separated anatomy of a human under rabbit skin.  The Vienna-based artist recently painted several murals throughout France with his distinct dissection style.
