      “E SOM DAL GATTO – Struttura G069” by Giulio Vesprini in Reggio Emilia, Italy

      by

      Street artist Giulio Vesprini recently worked on a project in Reggio Emilia, Italy. The mural entitled ‘E Som dal Gatto‘ was created together with the inhabitants of the neighborhood, to tell the story and its symbols.  The work was made possible thanks to the synergy between local institutions and the private world, with the aim of redeveloping and regenerating a suburban space in the city, enriching it with meanings strongly connected with the life of the place.“I reinterpreted this facade with elements of color and graphic structures that have clear references to the life of the Social Center and that emerged during the meetings held with residents of the area. In fact, yellow represents the walkway that connects the district to the Crostolo embankment, the round signs are a dedication to the game of bowls and football, green and blue are the synthesis of water and nature present in the district with a reference to the Gatto Azzurro and the crostolo stream that joins the Po river. The red, on the other hand, recalls the colors I mapped in the neighborhood.”Graziano Tura, president of the Gattaglio social center, underlined, among other things, the beauty of the common experience of members and inhabitants of the neighborhood in the relationship and collaboration with the artist: “Giulio Vesprini is now truly one of us.”With a subtle minimalistic approach, Vesprini focuses on the idea of ‘public space’ and more specifically on spaces where graphic and wall can be united at any given moment: the non-private space and space that is economically uninteresting can become utility space. His artworks are often about contact with architecture and graphic elements.By applying abstraction, he creates intense personal moments masterfully created by means of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, luring the viewer round and round in circles. His practice provides some graphic tools with a minimalist approach in the world of art: these meticulously planned works resound and resonate with images culled from the fantastical realm of imagination.Credits:Artistic assistant: Daniele Peccioli-Jacopo CostaPhoto Drone: Matteo Consolini More

      A New Mural by Pref in Liège, Belgium

      by

      Pref is a British graffiti fine artist and muralist. He is known for his multi-layered typographic style graffiti, incorporating an exploration of common words and key vernacular phrases.He has developed his role and reputation as a graffiti artist over 20 years, and trained initially at Chelsea College of Arts before going on to work in graphic design. Pref’s multi-layered style means that an element of deciphering is introduced, the viewer being asked to disentangle images and meanings from the artwork.The project was a collaboration with SILVERSQUARE to celebrate the recent first phase of the opening of SQ Guillemins (Liège), to create a gigantic mural right in front of the coworking space.The idea proposed by the artist is based on the phrase “shake hands” in a woven style.Anyone who gets off the train and arrives in Liege is now greeted by this colourful giant mural.Take a look at more images below and check back with us soon for more updates.Photo credit: Jules Césure More

      Walls and Columns with Hummingbirds by Decertor in Lima, Peru

      by

      Daniel Cortez aka Decertor is from Lima, Peru. He is a painter interested in building weatherproof memories in public spaces. He began his career with no formal studies in art, and his first inspiration came from portraits of the common man and woman that make up the human scenery of the Peruvian cities.His style started with the exercise of realism but then developed to emphasize the interconnectivity between the individual and the community in the social psyche. As an active street painter, he was part of the Hip Hop movement in Lima, always involving his work on social issues. This contributed to finding their way on muralism, risking new formats, and reinterpreting pre-Hispanic iconography in his style.Decertor about his works: “Several months ago I started spontaneously painting tiny hummingbirds in different places. Making them is just as satisfying as discovering them hidden in unexpected walls, columns and corners.”Take a look at more images below and check back with us soon for more updates. More

      Mural “Hermit Crab” by Nuno Viegas in Margate, United Kingdom

      by

      Nuno Viegas aka Metis, is a Portuguese artist born in Faro (1985) and raised in Quarteira.He presents us a contrast between the visually aggressive and sometimes dirty reality of traditional graffiti and its peaceful and clean representation in his works. The approach to this theme is a continuous tribute to all those who dedicate part of their lives to this scene.Developing paintings strongly influenced by and paying tribute to the graffiti scene, Viegas has seen his work across walls and art venues the world over.Nuno about the project:  “This year I was invited to join the Rise Up Residency in Margate. This came with a great challenge to follow up with a theme and paint a piece that would speak up for the local community about the issues that have been brought up and fought by the Rise Up and Clean Up people.                                             It took me a while to find a nice concept that would still be about my usual language and iconography but also have a different speech towards the event’s theme.”Inspired by Brock Davis and an image of an hermit crab he found while researching for this concept.Take a look at more images below and check back with us soon for more updates.
