Mural Art

Murals represent the most visible and impactful form of public art, transforming large wall surfaces into accessible galleries that serve diverse communities while beautifying urban environments. These large-scale works span the full spectrum of artistic expression, from photorealistic portraits and political commentary to abstract compositions and cultural celebrations.

New Banksy, Huge Murals, Edible Spray Paint & a Beer Fountain

During the last days, there were a lot of really interesting street art and graffiti news. Lots of artists spent hours and days to paint new murals around the world, to create fantastic sculptures and installations and to many other dope things. Here’s a small collection of impressing stuff, I got not enough time to write about…Enjoy! London probably got a new Banksy! As VNA reported, this falling shopping cart stencil artwork could be another masterpiece… ...

Warsaw All-star Mural: Nawer, Chazme718, Sepe & Roem

Do you remember what happens, when Polish graffiti artist Nawer teams up with others to create some collaboration pieces? If not you should definitely check out the great abstract stuff he did together with Graphic Surgery in Krakow earlier this year… Today I stumbled upon another great Nawer-collab! Back in Summer Nawer caught up with Chazme718, Sepe and Roem in Warsaw. Bringing together their finest qualities, the four well-known artists painted a mind-blowing mural in the Polish capital, which only now came to be known!! ...

Panos Sklavenitis - No Signal in Athens

It’s running not that well for Greece at the moment - you all know that - but it looks like that at least artists like Pavlos Tsakonas keeo on working for a better future… Today I came across the fantastic No Signal mural, painted by Panos Sklavenitis in Athens and have to say that I loved it at a first glance! Practically you could describe it as a perfect metaphor for the interrupted connection between politics and people - I don’t know whether this or something similar was the artist’s intention, but I’m pretty sure many people will understand it like that. Or what do you think? ...

Buff Diss, Something from Nothing London

Looks like, famous Australian tape artist Buff Diss can’t stop. After setting up a new, first blog and hanging around in Taipei for a couple of weeks, he not just found some time to talk with the Stylesight team but also to tape London’s Village Underground for the Make Something from Nothing art event! I draw with tape. I used to do graffiti and think one of the things I’ve learnt over the last few years is how much I hate paint. (Buff Diss) ...

Roa in Western Australia

After his successful and much-noticed exhibition in Berlin, the Skalitzers Gallery crew took Roa (our hero when it comes to paint black and white animals) to their home-country, which is why he just traveled Australia during the last months, as the majority of you probably already know. Recently, Skalitzers published some nice photos of the fantastic new murals, Roa was able to paint down-under in the Cities of Perth and Fremantle! Long story made short, here are the photos… ...

How & Nosm Murals in New York

Remember that fantastic mural by Spanish-born twins How & Nosm in Los Angeles from last month? Recently the Vandalog crew discovered some more flipping How & Nosm walls in New York Cities South Bronx! Another great thing about one of those dope murals is that it’s probably a collaboration with Aryz, who in my eyes is one of the most famous European urban artists at the moment… My advice: Take a look and simply be impressed! ...

ECB Mural in London

In September 2011, Soon Gallery brought German graffiti and street artist Hendrik ECB Beikirch to London to paint one of his well-known greyscale faces. A few days ago, video documentarist Stefan Pohl (who also did that nice Birth of a Spray-Can video) published the corresponding documentary! When I watched ECB painting at the IBUg 2011 urban art festival, I was highly impressed by his extensive use of water during painting (you can see that also in the video) and his big talent to diversify tones of grey and to compose them in a perfectionist way… ...

Abstract Graffiti: Graphic Surgery in Dresden

After that phenomenal collaboration with Nawer in Krakow, the Amsterdam-based urban art duo Graphic Surgery just finished a new mural! Located in Dresden, Germany, the 25 meters high wall has been painted as a part of the CityBilder project, which recently took place in town and also includes urban artworks by Frm & Otecki, Moneyless, Saddo, Jens Besser and others. The finished mural now shows an abstract bundle of black and white lines and is simply named Bauhaus after the famous German school for crafts and fine arts. Here are some pics… ...

Roa in Australia, a new Brad Downey Book & Murals around the Globe

Let the links speak - it’s time for a next round urban art link-tips! Better late than never: Sam3 murals in the beautiful city of Porto… Brad Downey was here: Publisher Onestar Press recently published a new Brad Downey book entitled The Vanity Project. It’s about pseudonyms and being incognito… Berlin-based creative collective Peachbeach painted a huge canvas for the Dudes Factory at the Stroke Artfair… Form Gallery in Perth, Australia just opened its doors for a new Roa show entitled Paradox! ...

How & Nosm Mural, Los Angeles

Spanish-born twins How & Nosm currently painted a massive mural in Los Angeles! As a part of the L.A. Freewalls project, the mural sticks out a mile and is probably one of the largest murals I’ve seen in the last months… What first started as a simple version of the Anarcho-syndicalistic black-red flag worked out in the end as an impressing, detailed wall painting! In my eyes, the mural was the best and effective advert for their Achtung! show, which recently opened its doors in LA’s Known Gallery. ...
