      Abstract Mural by Elian Chali in Yekaterinburg, Russia

      by

      At the international street art festival STENOGRAFFIA in Yekaterinburg, Argentinian artist Elian Chali painted the wall of the university building using the signature features of his style– basic geometry, abstraction and contrasting color schemes.Elian Chali, an Argentinian author with over 10 years of street art experience, created an art object in Yekaterinburg, the capital of street art in Russia. Mural on 62 Vosmogo Marta Street stands out in the context of the city with bold colors and simple shapes. With his art objects, Elian starts a discussion between people and urban space. The main idea of ​​all his works is to show that life in the city is beyond everyday routine. And it is thanks to his abstractions that the dialogue between the townspeople and the artist can develop as successfully as possible. Such images are not defined by specific images – a passer-by himself can think out what he sees in this work.Elian explains: “Abstraction does not give you prepared answers, you have to think about it. It also works like a bridge. I am building one part of the bridge, and passers-by are completing it. Also, I enjoy working in a variety of environments. There are many countries, a lot of contexts and conditions. Abstraction and geometry make me a big part of this environment without too many problems”.The architectural shape of the wall was also important to Elian because he wanted to work on the festival with a non-standard surface. The most suitable canvas for the author was the wall of the Ural State University of Economics. The seven-story building was built in 1981 and the area of ​​the painted wall is 400 square meters. In addition to its scale, the surface is distinguished by its own rhythm of panels, on which Elian applied his abstract forms, thereby giving the space a new dynamic.Elian Chali’s large-scale works can be found in more than 30 cities in countries such as Australia, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Spain, Canada, Chile, United Arab Emirates, USA, England, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Peru and others. He is the founder and co-director of the Kosovo Gallery (2012-2015, Cordoba) and was the chief curator of the MAC Feria de Arte Contemporáneo. In 2016 he published his first book, Hábitat. His work is documented in many publishing projects related to art, design and architecture. Check out below for more photos of the mural. More

      “Pulling Faces” by Fanakapan in Aberdeen, Scotland

      by

      The Dorset-born, London-based street artist Fanakapan brought a smile to Aberdeen this week – two in fact – with his perspective-defying street art, the fifth artist to appear for Nuart Aberdeen Summer 2021.Fanakapan is the latest ‘artist in residence’ in the Granite City curated by Nuart to bring new life to its walls.With a background in prop making, Fanakapan began creating hyper realistic visuals of real life objects in the early 2000’s. Free-hand yet technical, eye-catching but with literal and metaphorical depth, Fanakapan is best known for gleaming metallic balloons floating their way across canvases and city walls around the world. His works have earned him a stellar reputation within the urban contemporary art scene.For Nuart, he added his unique style to NHS Building, the Frederick Street Clinic, with the piece ‘Pulling Faces’ a fitting goodwill message for the city and its health service.The huge smiley faces, one rendered in a ‘3D’ style while the other wears its own pair of red and blue 3D glasses, are visible on West North Street all summer long and beyond.Hit the jump for more photos of Fanakapan’s work.

Opening night is scheduled on the 5th August, 6-9pm. The event is free for all to attend, no need to RSVP.Spanish street artist Pez began painting the streets in 1999, creating his signature character of the Fish.

His artwork is a journey full of joy, that ranges across classic graffiti to experimental pop art.Check out the images and posters to see “22 Years Smiling with Friends” artist lineup. More

      by

      Urban artist Wesl just finished a mural entitled “LIBERTÉ” in “Place de la Mairie”, Taule, France. This piece is a part of The Mx Arts Tour 2021. “LIBERTÉ” is a reflection about the values and importance of a good education to the children — the importance of building good wings to be free and to fly.We´re responsible for improving the present and creating the future. Art and culture is a common good that improves and transforms society at all levels. Wesl is born in Toledo, Spain, a place where he began with the world of graffiti in 1991, with the need to express himself and change the gray walls that flood us in our daily lives, to give color and harmony, and from the street, a museum. He has participated in numerous national and international festivals, such as Meeting of Styles (Germany, Spain), Upfest (England), Yard5 (Berlin) and in different art fairs. More
