      “Sky Dancer” by DALeast in Borås, Sweden

      by

      International street artist DALeast recently worked on a project with Artscape Festival in Borås, Sweden. The wall was painted 7 years ago by DALeast himself as part of NoLimit Festival in 2015 – but the facade had to be renovated in 2019. Today we have images of a newly repainted wall by DALeast – a rendition of the previous “Sky Dancer” mural.“As far as I can remember, this could be the first time I painted the same wall twice. The previous mural was made 7 years ago, then the city’s university had to repair and cover this library facade with my painting in 2019 due to the building’s renovation. This wall has been empty for the past 3 years, and people have requested their city to bring me back to repaint it. Finally, the conditions are aligned this year. So I decided to create a continuing version of the same sky dancer that’s soaring up and transforming through two stills. The image changes through time as well as the artist. Although it appears that I haven’t done as much external work in recent years, I sense that by not doing much, I am actually doing a lot for change. At least the old habit is peeling off. While this new piece continues to call for the openness that sparked a decade ago, the gap between subject and object is becoming softer and blurrier; edges are merging into one another. The elements keep transforming and dancing through the space, becoming the space.A big thanks to @Artscape_festival for organizing this project and to everyone who helped make this into fruition. As well as the love and support of the people in Borås and Sweden. Thank you for opening up the sky for possibilities, this surely inspires me.” -DALeastCheck out below for more photo of the mural.

      Lek and Sowat Sandcastle for the LaBel Valette Festival

      by

      Marking the fifth anniversary of the LaBel Valette Festival in France, artists Lek and Sowat have given a new identity to this 19th century castle, by painting all its surfaces and transforming it into a monumental sandcastle.Located in Pressigny-les-Pins, around one hour from Paris by train, Château de la Valette sits on just under 100 acres of wooded land and is comprised of the castle, a chapel, and two three-storey dormitory buildings. After the colourful works of Okuda (2018), 3ttman (2019), the giant calligraphy of L’Atlas (2020) and the optical illusions of Astro (2021), this mythical duo open the LaBel Valette festival that will take place on August 26 and 27, 2022.The LaBel Valette Festival, organised by UAC (Urban Art Crew) and U2A (Urban Art Agency), will take place on August 26 and 27, 2022 at La Valette estate in Pressigny-les-Pins.The two days programme includes graffiti battles, a musical production competition, live painting, workshops as well as a series of music concerts. Full programme hereCheck pictures of the work in progress below:Lek and Sowat were struck by the intense history of the ‘Domaine de La Valette’. Firstly belonging to the estate of a Count and a Countess, it then became property of Franco, followed by the Spanish republicans. It was later transformed into a college, then fell into abandonment. And was bought by an individual. The castle holds eventually a strong position of Street Art in France thanks to the LaBel Valette Festival project.The artistic duo decided to work around the image of the sandcastle, which refers to the ephemeral nature of Street Art, and pixels, which evoke the aesthetics of the 80s.Using bright blue and neon colours, they painted 10 000 square meters to transform the castle entirely.Lek and Sowat ’s Sandcastle illustrates this year’s theme of the festival “Believe in your dreams”: A sandcastle can be erased by the rising tide but is rebuilt thanks to the venue of a new artist.  A sandcastle is fragile, requires attention and commitment. It is imagined, hoped for, then built. More
