London based artist Conor Harrington was recently in Spain for the Wide Walls Event where he laced the streets Mallorca with a new piece. Conor stays true to his dripping technique in this portrait of a young boy (above), the monochromatic palette allowing the drama of the image to shine.

Fin Dac and Dtoar, have been working on a new collaboration in the streets of LA. Their styles intertwine perfectly, delivering a wholly harmonious piece. Like with Conor Harrington, the lack of color creates a focus on shapes and shadows to create movement and realism. This explosion of monochromatic tones carry as much vivacity as any use of color could. From textured brush strokes to dynamic framing, these artists have monochromes down pat.

Never2501 is an Italian street artist.  Playing with singular monochromatic shapes merged with pinks and purples, Never2501 understands how to create movement. The artist is extremely versatile; he works on canvas, paper, walls and structures. The longer you look at his work, the more you will understand the subtlety of his murals. Every line has its role. His abstract pieces do not depict a person but a feeling, a motion. His work is about suggesting figures, offering the viewer a large freedom of interpretation.

Street artists who attempt to work on different surfaces often fail to surprise. Artists such as Amose will create the same figures whether on paper or on walls, disappointing the expectations of the viewer. Never2501 is different. His work on canvas is astonishing: more colors, less lines but always the same dynamic movement.
