Perception by El Seed - Largest Op-Street-Art

Street artist working under the name eL Seed (you might remember him by Tour Paris 13 project) created one of the largest optical illusion street art in the world, placing it on suburbs of Manshiyat Nasr in Cairo, Egypt. "In the neighbourhood of Manshiyat Nasr in Cairo, the Coptic community of Zaraeeb collects the trash of the city for decades and developed the most efficient and highly profitable recycling system on a global level. Still, the place is perceived as dirty, marginalised and segregated. To bring light on this community, with my team and the help of the local community, I created an anamorphic piece that covers almost 50 buildings only visible from a certain point of the Moqattam Mountain. The piece of art uses the words of Saint Athanasius of Alexandria, a Coptic Bishop from the 3rd century, that said: ‘Anyone who wants to see the sunlight clearly needs to wipe his eye first.’", eL Seed, Instagram

“A street artist born in Paris to Tunisian parents, eL Seed did not learn to read or write Arabic until his late teens, but when he did his renewed interest in his heritage had a profound effect on his art.” — BBC

3D Grafitti Paintings by Felipe Pantone

"Felipe Pantone’s work is at the cutting edge of street art. Straddling conventional graffiti, typography and abstraction, his work fuses bold elements of graphic design with highly evolved geometric shapes to create an ultra-modern aesthetic which complements and reacts with the stark modernity of our cityscapes.Drawing on our concerns of the digital age and the speed at which technology is developing, Pantone’s art is like looking several light years ahead into the future and discovering a new language in which to communicate."

Painted Oceans

"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

A 100-Year-Old Church in Spain Transformed into a Skate Park Covered in Murals by Okuda San Miguel

"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

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

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.”

Epic Roof Calligraphy made by 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

Street Art of Sasha Corban

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

"This is a brilliant street art piece made by wire sculptor Edoardo Tresoldi and muralist Gonzalo Borondo. 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.
