Mr. Brainwash

This week was a goldmine for street art. New murals invaded our streets. Our print of the week was released by Mr. Brainwash, who got the ball rolling with his piece,  “Art is not a crime,” which is available as a print.  This theme is very popular in the domain of street art and it can get repetitive at times, but you have to appreciate Mr. Brainwash for its clarity and its aesthetics.

Vinz

Vinz is currently painting some original “adverts” in the streets London. One of them includes the use of the apple slogan, “Think Different,” portraying a mutant fish with a human body in a straight jacket.

Alexis Diaz

Ludo

Phlegm

Phlegm has been exploring new shapes. Deviating from his long, tribal, signature character, Phlegm went back to his hometown of Sheffield, where he spent weeks working on this large piece. One aim remains consistent in his work: to paint the relationship between imaginary worlds of entertainment and creativity.

Icy and Sot

Discover the work of Icy and Sot. The Iran-based stencil artist dropped by Williamsburg, New York. The artist works with the politically charged themes of poverity, peace, youth and war in order to “remind [ourselves] that art has always been a mode of resistance, and graffiti has always been a political gesture.” If you stop by Brooklyn, you’ll be able to find this one on South 6 by the bridge.

ROA

ROA painted this piece in Linz, Austria. His gigantic mural features various images of tortured animals. The artist’s work is like a hymn for animals, shocking viewers into caring more for animals who are suffering.

 “The last super” now has its own Street-style reenactment. This odd futuristic mural entitled “The Weird Supper,” gives us a fresh rendition of Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece in an explosion of colors and shapes. This time, the supper is shared by cell mates, handcuffed and surrounded by various symbols of “The Vanities“ (skulls, candles and wine). Some of the greatest contemporary street artists collaborated on this piece including: Rookie, Dxtr, Nychos, Low Bros, Frau Isa, Look, Cone, Vidam and Herr von Bias. All worked together for the 4560 – Urban Art Meeting in Saarbruecken, Germany.

Nychos is one of the most renowned Austrian graffiti artists. With a focus on detailing the body of surrealistic creatures, he slices his characters  showing their bones, organs and flesh. Nychos’s fame exploded with his “Rabbit Eye Movement” (REM). His art work is an explosion of vivid colors and shapes that will blow your mind.

With his twisted mind, Nychos is working on creating an army of mutated monsters ready to take over our streets… He’s establishing himself as an evil genius.
