Street Art of Sasha Corban

in , , ,

Sasha Korban was born in Kirovske of Donetsk Region, Ukraine. In 2006-2011 he worked as a miner at the “Komsomolets Donbasu” mine. For the first time he tried to create street art as far back as in 2002. But he thinks that the start of his conscious work on the street as a graffiti artist was in 2009.

Peculiarity of his creative work is representation of “characters”, namely portraits and not tags or typography. He participated in different Ukrainian graffiti festival. In August 2014 he moved to Kyiv. In parallel with graffiti works he started to create easel works for galleries. Represented by Sky Art Foundation

Titled “Chained,” also the name of the art event organized by gallery Wunderkammern who invited nine important urban artists to create outdoor installations in the city of Milan.

Art of Marco Battaglini

in , , , , ,

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.'

Classical Paintings on Streets

in , ,

Julien de Casabianca started Outings Project to fill the cultural gap between the museum and street. Using nothing but mobile phone people can take photos of abandoned and less-known pictures in museums and transfer them on street walls with the help of Outings team. It is legal until you break a law.

P.s. I bet Julien needs to visit Saint-Petersburg and check the street project done by Russian Museum with the same idea. It was vandalised several if not dozen times until people get used to it, and now you watch Russian Classic Paintings outside.

Walking New York by JR

in , , ,

Earlier this month, workers with the French street artist JR (previously) covered a plaza in Manhattan's Flatiron district with a giant, wheat-pasted photograph of a guy walking. It was 20-year-old immigrant and Brooklynite Elmar Aliyev in mid-stride. The image was only up for a day, and almost no one noticed. But it would go on to create one of the most inventive New York Times magazine covers of recent memory.

The cover is a commentary on the invisibility of immigrants, a theme JR has previously explored. "For this project, we decided we’d photograph recent immigrants and paste their images on the city’s streets, where they and other immigrants are often invisible," the NYTimes writes. The French artist photographed several different immigrants before landing on Aliyev, who came to New York from Azerbaijan last August after winning the green card lottery.

JBAK Street Art

in , ,

JBAK is a creative partnership between artists James Bullough and Addison Karl. Each artist brings his unique vision and style to their combined body of work. Bullough’s main focus is photo-realism, with attention to ambient and deep space, layers, and geometric forms. He combines contemporary street art techniques and materials with those of realist oil painters, creating pieces of vivid color and masterful detail. Conversely, Addison’s work is produced using a hatch drawing style, which utilizes fine lines and details to create fantastic illustrations of both diminutive and immense images and proportions.
