The Canemorto trio has been spreading their colors across the walls of Italy. Neneboy, Zenop, and Azz The One are three Italian street artists who say they “paint together as a single person.” The group is grotesquely entertaining. Their characters’ abnormal proportions draw in the eye and their expressive faces almost emit an audible grunt. The drawings are so childlike it’s as if they were using crayon instead of paint.

Constantly finding innovative ways to depict basic face features, Cruz always surprises us. A recurrent symbol in his piece is  a cross  in his character’s forehead. Perhaps he feels compelled to put religion on the forefront of his work maybe? His characters are always inspired by a culture: whether it’s Mexico or marine life.

Cruz’s work is strengthen by his ability to convey emotions through a deeper use of colors. The artist always uses a particular shape for his character’s eyes. The only variation being their color, and each color is associated to a different emotion.

For years, Japanese manhole covers have featured bright and colorful artistic designs. Now, thanks to street art legends like Shepard Fairey, The London Police, and Invader, Milan has something to brag about too. Those artists have, with a push from the Don Gallery, provided wrought iron covers to decorated main arteries in the city.

Flying Fortress and Rendo are also on board and the work will remain in use for two years. (via Gltn).
