Sepe and Chazme recently collaborated on a large mural in Richmond, Virginia in honor of the Richmond Mural Project. The Polish duo previously collaborated on a number of different occasions.

Using their distinctive styles and a color palette mixing warm and cold tones, the duo created an intricate piece conveying a haunting image of men in haz-mat suits, trapped in a geometric world where each wall bleeds onto the next one.

French artist Levalet has been working on several trompe-l’oeil on the streets of Paris. True to his playful aesthetic, Levalet uses the environment around him to build his piece. His life-sized wheat paste posters blend with the neighborhood they are plastered on.

ZED1 is currently in San Benedetto Del Tronto, Italy. He recently produced the piece above entitled, “”Doubts Of The Soul.” Zed1 seems captivated by the meaning of time. Using vibrant colors and the charming imagery of a bird, the Italian artist produces an image which at first glance appears adorable and endearing. However, if you look a little closer you will recognize “warning” symbols such as the red apple and the red snake seemingly taunting the bird and a red mask that looks like the devil reminding us that things are never quite what they seem.

Etam Cru was recently in Oslo, Norway where they produced a mural depicting the infinite imagination of a young boy while brushing his teeth. Thanks to its familiar setting the image captures the viewers attention, immediately drawing the eye to the boy and his surrealistic fantasies.

Ben Slow is currently in London, where he just completed the new collaboration (above) with Jim McElvaney. The duo is brand new, and is coming. McElvaney has a taste and talent f0r tortured portraits as you can see from some of his artwork, below.

Slow‘s strength lies in his textured portraits. Together they created a unique piece.

Etam Cru produced a new mural in Lodz, Poland reminiscent of some of Aryz‘s work. The artist was able to capture the essence of a culture through a traditional portrait.

Findac produced another of his signature portraits in the UK. You will be amazed by the artist’s attention to detail, in particular in the painting of his “Odettia” character’s jewelery. Very impressive.
