Painted Oceans

February 03, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Street Art, United Kingdom, 2016

"Led by the creative vision of Tristan Eaton, PAINTED OCEANS is a feature documentary film that will follow seven of the world’s most renowned street artists as they set out to make history by painting murals this summer on the infamous Red Sands Sea Forts. Located off the East Coast of England, the structures are known for the critical role they played in the crusade against German forces in World War II, as well as fighting censorship in the pirate radio movement of the 1970s. Bringing together the likes of Shepard Fairey, How & Nosm, Futura 2000, The London Police and Tristan Eaton, each artist will be assigned a tower to render their respective murals. Set in a remarkably turbulent environment of extreme tides, decaying metal and unpredictable weather conditions, a “village at sea” will be constructed in the middle of the ocean in order to house the artists." via Hypebeast

December 16, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Architecture, Interior Design, Portfolios, Spain, Street Art, 2015, Art

"Originally designed by Asturian architect Manuel del Busto in 1912, the church of Santa Barbara in Llanera, Asturias, was abandoned for years and crumbling from neglect. Luckily, a group of enterprising individuals lead by a collective called the ‘Church Brigade,’ with help from online fundraising and Red Bull, the church was salvaged and turned into a public skate park dubbed Kaos Temple.

As if having a skate park inside a beautiful abandoned church wasn’t enough, artist Okuda San Miguel was commissioned to cover the walls and vaulted ceilings with his unique brand of colorful geometric figures." via Colossal

Brandalism

December 01, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in France, Photography, Street Art, 2015

Just days before the start of the UN COP21 Climate Conference held in Paris and during the French state of emergency following terrorist attacks earlier this November, 600 posters were covertly distributed and hung within the city. The posters were not taped to poles or distributed in public grounds, but secured behind glass at bus stops around the city. The large-scale posters were advertisement replacements, fake corporate ads designed by 82 artists across 19 countries to satirize messaging found throughout the Parisian streets.

Organized by the Brandalism project, the citywide sweep is meant to challenge the corporate takeover of the Paris climate talks, forming ads that target the link between corporations’ advertising with consumerism, global warming, and fossil fuel consumption.." Read more on Colossal

New Murals on Icebergs by Hula

November 26, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Portfolios, Street Art, 2015

Environmental artist HULA known for his series of water murals moves further and takes icebergs with paint and faith. Check artist statement “Series of murals painted on a few of the thousands of icebergs freshly broken off from a nearby glacier. In the short time I was there, I witnessed the extreme melting rate first hand as the sound of ice cracking was a constant background noise while painting. Within a few weeks these murals will be forever gone, but for those who find them, I hope they ignite a sense of urgency, as they represent the millions of people in need of our help who are already being affected from the rising sea levels of Climate Change.”

Pokras Lampas

I just presented the best Russian talents on Argentinian festival Trimarchi today. The last project I talked about was the biggest calligraphy work we've ever seen made by Russian talent Pokras Lampas: Calligroof

The artist and his team spent nearly a ton of paint to create this work, its height equals to twenty-two storey building. Work's text dedicated to the moments of inspiration and creativity

"This project breaks records on the complexity and scale in Russia. It was a real challenge for me and my team. We designed a brush with an ink surface of 1 meter using four big brooms specifically for this event. We could fail this project many times due to the rains and problems with the delivery of hundreds of liters of paint from another city." says Pokras

Art of Marco Battaglini

July 22, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Italy, Portfolios, Street Art, 2015, Costa Rica

Marco Battaglini pastiches together bits of Renaissance art with graffiti and other elements of modern pop — not unlike the divine versus the vulgar — in his digital paintings. By mashing together opposing visual traditions, the Italian artist (living in Costa Rica) challenges the viewer to contemplate a variety of topics: cultural democratization, the evolution of knowledge and information, and what he calls our 'patchwork culture.'
