      Hopare in Puteaux and Strasbourg, France

      by

      Paris-based artist Alexandre Monteiro aka Hopare just worked on new murals in Puteaux and Strasbourg, France. Hopare’s creations are all designed out of a perfect geometry, in a graphic style that borders but is not full-on abstraction. Often featuring faces at the core of his works, the artist utilizes variations of straight lines going from parallel to interlaced ones.

      Hopare’s work is a unique universe of modernity, speed, movement and characteristic visuals that immerse the viewer in a contrasting world of colorful walls and gray streets.

      “Contemporary Reinterpretation of Tradition” by Hopare

      The carpet was a medium of meeting, exchange, and sharing, becoming a border space, and offering a fresh look at ancestral tradition. Through this new wall, I wanted to reconnect with the Berber carpet tradition, where the woman tells part of her story through the carpet she weaves” Hopare said.

      His next mural features a version the of the Virgin and Child imagery that was created for the 10th edition of the Street Art festival in Ville de Puteaux. The towering mural is located at the esplanade of the Puteaux town hall. More

      “Endless Knot” by 2501 in Milan, Italy

      by

      Italian artist Jacopo Ceccarelli aka 2501 recently worked on a mural located in the facade of a building in Marco Polo, district of Milan. “The endless knot has various meanings in the Tibetan tradition, but most of all, it reminds me the inter-twining of wisdom and compassion” 2501 said.

      He dedicates this mural in memory of Lama Gangchen Tulku Rimpoche, a 78-year-old guru, founder, and guide of the Albagnano Healing Meditation Centre on Lake Maggiore,who died last April after contracting the coronavirus.

      Embarked in a quest for blank spaces, 2501 experiments with lines, shapes and motion in free compositions that show strictness all the while breaking art codes.
      His works are visually stunning, diving head first into the essence of line art through his use of monochromatic color schemes that emphasize his technique. 2501’s street pieces are elegant and clean making it pop from the usually busy public settings he implements them. The visual impact of his style and the intriguing ambiguity which comes from his use of figureless forms makes 2501’s art one of the most exciting and recognizable in today’s contemporary art scene.

      “NON PLUS ULTRA” by Gonzalo Borondo in Salamanca, Spain

      by

      Since the beginning of his artistic activity, Borondo has seen glass as an interesting material to explore, a source of original creative possibilities, attracted by the opposites that characterise it: transparency and hardness; fragility and resistance; protection and danger. He is also interested in its relationship with light and the elegance it transmits.

      In recent years, Borondo has tackled the subject with a multidisciplinary approach, articulating innovative formal solutions that combine skills from different areas and that have seen the practice of “glass scratching” evolve in relation to the artist’s intentions: to enliven painting and to experiment with silkscreen printing. “Non Plus Ultra” is the result of a visionary perspective on screen printing, where the rules are shifted towards the unusual, where error is enjoyed, the cause before discovery, where the technique goes beyond the limits imposed by the blank sheet.

      by

      Italian Artist Vesod recently worked on a new mural for the 7th edition of Antonio Giordano Urban Art Award (Premio Antonio Giordano) in Santa Croce di Magliano, Italy. The artwork, entitled “Dualismo”, has been made on the facade of a private building in the heart of the village. The composition offers a real oneiric vision, where architectures, female bodies and machines merge together in a futuristic vortex, open to double or multiple interpretations in contrast to each other.

      Vesod was born in Turin in 1981 and he currently lives and works in a Venaria Reale. Influenced by his artist father and the early 20th century Italian movement Futurism, Vesod skillfully applies layers of opaque paint to create remarkable three-dimensional geometric objects and elegant figures with a unique and expressive sense of movement.
      His work is characterized by high contrast figures full of staggered motion and bright geometric abstractions.
