      “REBOOT” by Ludo in Beirut, Lebanon

      by

      Ludo recently worked on a new project entitled “Reboot” in Beirut. “Reboot” is a series of murals done in the capital of Lebanon wherein a massive explosion that caused great damage to the city happened last August. Ludo’s installations amidst the ruins of the area somehow sheds new light and hope to the rebuilding city.

      The project was done with the help of Art of Change Global, Beirut who dealt with the army, police, protests, fires, virus, and other circumstances as Ludo worked on the installations.

      The work of Paris-based Ludo (Ludovic Vernhet) explores a world where biotechnological chimeras offer to merge plants and animals with our technological universe. Through his work, Ludo aims to reveal the opposites that cohabit our world, often taking unlikely pairings to absurd lengths. These dualities are reconciled by the artist through the creation of hybrid organisms.

      Elian Chali new works in Argentina, USA, and Taiwan

      by

      Elian Chali was born and raised in Cordoba, where he currently lives. His relationship with the streets began with adolescent tagging and although his background is in graphic design, as an artist he is self-taught. Elian’s work focuses on creating a dialogue with the urban fabric, letting the characteristics of the wall inform the piece. He identifies with urbanism and architecture more than muralism or graffiti.

      b-sm = 300×250; sm > none;

      Known for his abstract and anamorphic compositions through which he reflects and modifies the perception of architectural spaces he intervenes, Elian’s work is characterised by the use of subtle gestures and strong and contrasting colour choices that give shape to vibrant and elegant murals.

      Centro Cultural Recoleta, Argentina

      Elian Chali‘s murals, with their bold colors, clear-cut shapes and flat surfaces, immediately grab your attention. His aesthetics are inspired by the Pop-Art, minimalism, Russian constructivism, and neoplasticism. Through his work, the artist seeks to open a discussion that goes from the social problems to the poetry of the habitat in which he creates.
      Through numerous travels around the world, Elian is constantly exposed to both the beauty and ugliness which surrounds us in equal measure in every day life and invites the viewer to process these issues with him through his paintings.
      Check out below for more images of Elian’s works.

      Parees Festival in Oviedo, Spain

      by

      Four artists, all of them from Spain, have taken part in this edition, creating artworks inspired by local themes through one of the main signs of identity of the event: the participatory processes. Coordinated by Raposu Roxu, this way of working implies the neighbours in the creative process of the walls, getting artists and citizens in touch. The result is that a lot of locals feel the pieces as their own.
      Manolo Mesa has created a mural playing homage to the abandoned crockery factory of San Claudio in a hot spot of Oviedo. Parees team launched an open call on social media asking the locals to take pics of their San Claudio pieces (plates, teapots, trays, cups…) while telling the stories behind those collections. The artist visited some of those neighbours’ houses for meeting them first hand and shooting some pics of the pottery compositions.

      Mural by Manolo Mesa

      Harsa Pati, Arantxa Recio’s artistic nickname, turned into an artwork a traditional fairy tale from Asturias which was discovered to her by local writer and storyteller Milio’l del Nido. The 50 metres long wall of the Germán Fernández Ramos Public School was the canvas of a drawn fable about false appearances where nothing is what it really looks like.

      Mural by Harsa Pati

      Lidia Cao has dedicated her wall to the local writer Dolores Medio. Lidia’s piece combines the literary work of Dolores as well as her condition as a woman ahead of her time, vindicating gender equality at the same time that was a victim of the censorship of those years. The winner of the 1952 Nadal Award is presented taking a seat in front of her typewriter with 2 observing vultures behind her back. Cosme Marina, chairman of Dolores Medio Foundation, informed to Lidia about several facts of the now beloved and respected author.

      Mural by Lidia Cao

      Last but not least, local artist Manu García painted his first ever outdoor wall at El Milán College Campus. The piece is a tribute to ‘fiestas de prao’, a form of very popular local summer parties. ‘El Nolas’ investigation included visits to the photographic archives of Asturias as well as his own personal memories from his hometown.

      Mural bu Manu Garcia

      The feedback from Oviedo’s citizens has been the most enthusiastic one in the four editions of Parees. There were tons of neighbours congratulating the artists for their work, saying nothing but good words and sending pretty good vibes about the whole thing. The Festival, which has become a true sign of identity for Oviedo, has created a beautiful mixture of art and history on the city walls. More

      KAI & SUNNY – THE GREAT CURVE

      by

      Corey Helford Gallery are pleased to present The Great Curve, a mini solo exhibition of new work by Kai & Sunny…

      b-sm = 300×250; sm > none;

      This new body of work by the UK-based duo consists of 6 new pieces. The series showcases their uniquely distinguishable compositions of large circle acrylic paintings on linen and archival ballpoint pen works on paper.

      The Great Curve inspired by the force and energy found within nature explores the relationship between line and color, shifting through dynamic color changes.
      The lines in the works push and pull each other as if caught in a state of flux, creating infinite movement and naturalistic rhythm appearing both serene and ominous at the same time.
      The process is a methodical building of thin intricate lines upon each other.

      The lines can change your perception of the shape while the foreground and background invite you to float in-between the two.
      In conjunction with the exhibition, Kai & Sunny will release a limited edition 8 color silkscreen on 03/10/2020 @ 9am PST (5pm GMT) from:
      www.kaiandsunny.com
