      United Kingdom’s Biggest Clean Air Mural by Nerone

      by

      The UK’s largest clean air mural has been unveiled at The Bulb, Southampton, as part of the £3.5m transformation of Nelson Gate into a new STEM community hub by FI Real Estate Management.The striking 1,005 sq m mural by French Street Artist Nerone, used Graphenstone CO2 absorbing paint. These unique lime-based paints absorb CO2 as they cure, as part of the natural lime cycle (the majority in the first 30 days following application). It is estimated that the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by The Bulb mural will be around 65kg a year; equivalent to three grown trees, making it the largest clean air mural in the UK.The mural, which covers the Grade A office building has introduced a splash of colour and a tropical aesthetic to the city. Nerone’s signature tropical flowers which intertwine with female portraiture wrap the building beautifully.The piece took Nerone and the team from Lawless Studio® three weeks to complete, and was complemented by a series of community workshops and events which ran throughout the project. The final design was selected by the public, with over 10,000 votes cast.Nerone says ‘It took 17 intense days working on this massive piece, sometimes feeling like a mountain climber because the wind and height of the building. But my team from Lawless Studio and I are really happy and proud with the result.Especially because we have used ecological paint, so we can proudly say it’s a green piece of art! This giant project is definitely something I’ll take into account in myfuture projects, thinking about our planet is not a choice, it’s a must.’Tim Knowles, Founder and Managing Director at FI Estate Management, commented: ‘The Bulb is an inspiring addition to the Southampton office market – its central location makes it ideal for companies working in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) to attract the fantastic talent pool in the city and beyond.’Ryan Barber, Head of Office at FI Real EstateManagement, added: ‘This has been one of the most exciting and engaging projects I have worked on – the transformation is incredible, and we now have a stunning vibrant building where like-minded STEM businesses can come and work together.’Nerone is a well-known French street artist who has conquered the art world with his sublime style of painting. As one of the most prolific French street artists of the 21st century, Nerone expanded the traditional practice of street art in ground breaking ways.By mixing floral art in an abstract style, Nerone brings the spotlight onto the colours and blooming appeal of the subject. His art is unique. The chaos on the walls or canvas does not reflect the meticulous and inventive process that allows him to capture the motion. Nerone’s art represents a fresh breath in the world of street art. His compelling works of art speak to viewers in a very absorbing and dynamic way with an unstoppably upbeat vibe.As he is aware of the various ecological challenges and economic problems of today’s world, Nerone constantly insists on spreading a positive message through his art. Throughout his career, he has been commissioned to work for different artistic events around the world, such as the International Flowers Festival in Seoul, the FIA Formula E Championship in Berlin, and the Flower Show Turkey in Istanbul. His colourful and outlandish walls can now be seen in many places, including Paris, New-York, Cartagena, Bangkok, Berlin, Marrakech and Seoul.Check out below for more photos of Nerone’s latest project.

      Timed Edition Print Release by Sebas Velaso

      by

      Over the past year, Sebas Velaso have received many requests from collectors wanting to acquire works at more affordable prices. While this is difficult with the growing demand for work, Sebas has always maintained that more people should have access, than less. The artist have decided to issue a timed release print of two recent images in an effort to keep the work inclusive and accessible, while respecting the growing popularity of the very limited originals.Kalejdoskop Moich Dróg (Kaleidoscope of my ways)Kao da je Bilo Nekad (As it Was Once Before)Fine Art Print Giclee on Hahnemühle 310gsmHand Pulled Varnish Finish45cm x 45cm£150The prints were launched  last Wednesday 26th April 16:00.Over the past few years, Sebas Velasco has identified himself among the great documentarians of the transitional countries of Eastern Europe. With frequent visits to countries of former Yugoslavia, Poland, Hungary or Ukraine; Velasco observes the shifting relationship between the urban environment and economical/political structures. Compositions are collaged from his own photography to create impossible yet familiar vistas, his brutal constructions become stoic remnants of a memory lost to time.It’s been a busy start to the year with Sebas on the road for research and in Studio preparing for upcoming shows including European Museum of Modern art in Barcelona and a group exhibition in China for an show curated by Sir Nicholas Penny, former director of the National Gallery, London.Ascended the the Mer Collection (Image Wasted Years)Following its honourable mention in a painting prize from the Museum of Modern European Art and a shortlist position with the Royal Society of Portrait painters, ‘Wasted Years’ has been acquired by the prestigious Mer Collection, one of the most important private collections in the current Spanish scene. The collection specialises in European and American figuration since 1980 and includes masterpieces of artists such as Eric Fischl, Cindy Sherman, Marlen Dumas, Lisa Yuscavage, Merilyn Minter, Luis Gordillo and Cecily Brown. The title takes its name from an Iron Maiden song title, a band who famously supported the British football team West Ham. The subject is further shown wearing the clubs iconic burgundy and blue jersey.

From the raw grid marked canvas to the highest saturation of colour, we are suspended in a deliberate moment of possibility for what could be and what will be. More

      “The Olympic Ring between Apollo and Daphne” by OZMO in Paris, France

      by

      OZMO, on the occasion of the Planète Périphérique Festival, the project organized by the RAS association and realized with the support of RIVP and the Mairie du 20eme,  had the opportunity to create an artistic intervention that develops on the exterior walls of an entire building located in the heart of the Python-Duvernois district, in Porte de Bagnolet, in the 20th arrondissement of Paris.The context and the formal features of the building inspired him for this project: it is impossible to think of painting on the main facade, full of balconies, windows and pillars, so he tried to find a solution that would make these elements become an integral part of the main subject: a huge, fiery red ring.For  The Olympic Ring between Apollo and Daphne   – this is the title of the work I made –  he then recontextualized Apollo chasing Daphne and Daphne chased by Apollo, the statues that the brothers Nicolas and Guillaume Coustou created for the park of the castle of Marly and that from 1940 are in the Louvre.The statues, designed and arranged so as to make a parallel run, are now depicted on the ends of the palace, one on each of the blind side walls, as directed in the opposite direction. They are reached and wrapped by the large red ring, shaded like a neon sign, overlooking the facade.This element, the real protagonist of the intervention, which unfolds along the two suspenders that join the balconies, is a reference to the busy périférique, the Parisian ring road, on which the intervention faces? Is that an answer to the huge advertising signs on the building across the street? Or is that a fil rouge? Does it evoke a track, a path or an orbit? And what possible link does it have to the red ring of the Olympics citeThe Olympic Ring between Apollo and Daphne offers itself to the passerby as an element of short-circuit and harmonization: between the two mythological figures, between the walls of the building, between the idea of the center and the suburbs, and between our perception of street art, graffiti and ancient and contemporary art in the urban context.The Intervention was presented on 13 April during the vernissage of the Planète Périphérique Festival, the extraordinary event that involved about one hundred artists who have created painted installations and interventions in the 3000 m2 of 21 apartments. The collective exhibition will be open until 7 May 2023. More
