Ceramic street art by Daria Makarenko

in , , , , ,

“Ceramic Speaks in the Street” is a series of street art by Russian artist Daria Makarenko where missing bricks or stones on a wall or panels absent from pavement are replaced by bricks/stones/slabs with thoughts and phrases. The idea was to take an architectural item from an urban space and replace it with something thought provoking that can communicate between the artist and the viewer.

The project’s pieces were located throughout the streets of Stockholm, Sweden from 2011-2012.

His artistic path in traditional Graffitism begins in the second half of the nineties but the urge of evolving his productions into something more contemporary became insistent with the years." says Sweet Station

TOSAY.IT is a continuation and a large update of our past projects with public text posters once created by Dopludo Collective from StPete, Russia. The main idea of the project is to explore text, streets & internet as an artistic medium, to broadcast actual ideas that are usually ignored by mass media, or to comment on the issues that seem important to put up by the author of the text. In november 2010 TOSAY.IT was exposed in Moscow's activistic art gallery at Vinzavod. In upcoming August it is going to be represented in public space in the center of Amsterdam.
