      “Liber Libellula” by Jair Martinez in Turin, Italy

      by

      Street artist Jair Martinez recently worked on a new project entitled “Liber Libellula”in Settimo Torinese, Turin, Italy. The mural is part of the Insieme Si Può Fare Project, which involves young people and fights educational poverty.Nature and the sky are the canvas for this illustrated story in which big trees, as far as the eye can see, create a stage where nature takes the leading role and inspires us. A body of water reflects the space via light and dark colours that tell the story of our paths all the way until ideas make an appearance, Muses, flashes of light: our passions.Symbolic elements fluctuate before the Muses: the violin evokes music, the dance shoe makes us think of theatre and dance, a home – the place where our passions are born and grow. All of these are a clear call to the House of Music, the Song in itself.The ‘Liber Libellula’ graffiti tells a story of freedom, change, grace, balance, transformation, hope – all embodied by the totem insect: the dragonfly. A heraldic emblem of joy and happiness, of love, of hope and of transformation. It is born in the water, but it flies away finishing its own life up in the air. For the Japanese, the dragonfly is a recurrent symbol; for the ancient native Americans dragonflies represented the soul of their dead; for the Mayas they represented Ixchel, the nocturnal deity related to medicine, the lunar rainbow lady of creativity and rebirth.Check out below for more photos of the project.

      Borondo Painted Over One Of His Murals in Turin, Italy

      by

      A mural by Spanish artist Gonzalo Borondo was whitewashed by the will of the same author. It was covered with white spray paint, sprayed by a man who entered the Colosseum theater in Turin, where the piece is exhibited. The mural was removed from the place where it was made originally without the author’s permission, and displayed in the exhibition.Years ago some restorers were engaged in ripping out walls in abandoned places. They claimed to be non-profit, but Gonzalo and his team recently discovered that some works were for sale on platforms like Artsy.com. This stolen work of Borondo was found at a pay-to-entry exhibition in Turin, sharing space with many other stolen ones.The exhibition, Street Art on Blu 3, which a third of exhibited works of art are created by 36 of the most renowned street artists from around the world including the most recognizable, Banksy.Borondo and his team made a gesture to discourage the fact of profiting from the free interventions that surely we all have made/followed/supported spontaneously in abandoned places — they have whitewashed the work. For them, it was the right way to convey the message.“In fact, these interventions in public space weren’t made with the intention to create objects to consume, but to dialogue and accompany their surroundings. Without their context, the interventions make no sense, the will and the intent of the artist have disappeared, so, in the end, the artworks don’t exist anymore”, Borondo and his team expressed.Check below for photos of the said action.rpt More

      New Mural by Etnik in Turin, Italy

      by

      Graffiti-artist Etnik is back with another big wall. This new mural is located in front of a school in Turin, Italy. The idea of this wall was born during the lockdown. Etnik with this paint wants to create a window with a fantastic landscape behind, for the children that will come back to school after 7 months of staying home.  So it is a sort of surprise for the younger kids and the people who walk in front of the wall.

      b-sm = 300×250; sm > none;

      Alessandro Battisti aka Etnik is considered as one of the most active and accomplished urban artist in Italy. He has experienced and assimilated the transition to post-graffiti and Street Art. From 2001 his style started to evolve into geometrical and architectural forms with letterings and a mixture of urban landscapes.

      “Never Ending Summer”by Nico Miyakawa in Turin, Italy

      by

      b-sm = 300×250; sm > none;

      The month of October that has just begun led to the birth and to the official opening reception of a new artistic hub in Turin, Beeozanam.Among many realities involved in the project, we find our friends from Missiontoart who, for the occasion, presented the brand new works born from the artist’s latest residency together with Nico Miyakawa.

      In Missiontoart’s latest artist residency they invited Italian-Japanese artist Nico Miyakawa. With a portfolio primarily formed by hand drawn sketchbooks filled with dreamy scenarios, his work takes the viewer through a rich and detailed interpretation of reality. He created “Nico’s Room”, a space in the former industrial offices fully painted by the artist, where you can get be surrounded by Nico’s characters. A 360 degrees experience we suggest to do not miss.

      Together they created a 22 pieces of limited edition print, experimenting on new methods to develop the films. They put the digital process aside and dove into an artisanal approach for all stages of printing, letting Nico paint directly onto the acetate films to produce the screens. Seven acetate film sheets for seven levels of colors, harmoniously overlaid, mixed and bound together to bring the print to life. Here is the result: a palm tree of such vivid, bright colors – that only serigraphy can recreate – on a sky blue background previously hand-painted by the artist. A print that portrays exotic moods, tropical landscapes and the warm light of a summer that is not over yet.
      The limited edition is made on 300gsm, 100% cotton paper. Dimension 50cm x 70cm. If you want to get the vibes and bring them into your home, you can find the print available in their store.

      A special thank goes to Ivan Catalano and Chiara Dalmaviva for the images and stay tuned with us for the latest news from Italian art scene. More
