Yesterday, I suspected, that *“it seems to be [mural art time](/mural-art-antwerp/) for a lot of urban artists”*, because so many beautiful and huge mural artworks spring up around the globe. Today I feel confirmed, because of that great new mural artwork, the Italian street art duo **Sten & Lex** recently created in Lyon, France. Sten and Lex are very popular for their more or less unique styled large-scale prints, hand-drawings and stencil artworks, they left in a huge number of cities. Recently, a few weeks ago they beautified Rome with a two mixed poster mural showing famous football player Totti and a wolf - looks impressive! > Unlike many street artists, we do not have a artistic background. Ten years ago we started using a stencil when the idea of street art did not have much legitimacy in Italy. > > The technique we use is called “hole school” and consists of stencils with many holes of different sizes that all together provide a highly photographic image. This technique was also often used for printing newspapers in the Sixties and Seventies. ([Sten & Lex interview](http://blastmagazine.com/the-magazine/culturefashion/arts/art/sten-and-lex-are-two-most-famous-street-artists-on-the-old-continent/)) I’m looking forward to hear about other new mural artworks... ![sten & lex - mural art in lyon]() sten & lex - mural art in lyon ![sten & lex mural art]() sten & lex mural artVia [welikethat.de](http://www.welikethat.de/2010/05/11/sten-and-lex-in-rome/) & [woostercollective.com](http://www.woostercollective.com/2010/06/fresh_stuff_from_sten_and_lex_in_lyon_fr.html).
