The Fame Festival has been heating up in Grottaglie, Italy over the past three weeks as it is gearing up for its final showcase which will exhibit everything created over the duration of the festival: new original artworks, screenprints and ceramic pieces made with the collaboration of local artisians. Funded by Studiocromie, a one-man screenprinting studio, the Fame Festival marks the meeting of a dozen international artists with the intention of giving back to the town, and building it the name it deserves.
Recently, Spanish artist Escif has made some awesome contributions to the festival, and we’re especially digging his most recent piece. The “Applause Please” mural can be seen on the Stadium’s wall, and we can really get behind this one because let’s be real, who doesn’t want some applause every now and then. Check out a video below documenting his work, and other pics of his work for the Fame Festival after the jump.
