One thing we love about street art is what methods the artist used to curate their pieces. As part of this year’s Urban Forms lineup, Portuguese street artist Vhils took it to the streets of Lodz, Poland to curate a rather one-of-a-kind piece for the community.

He used his unique technique of carving the wall of a building and it result, he created a striking image.

Let us know what you think about this piece on a comment below.

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.

Liqen

This week the best mural out there was produced by Liqen in Chichester. His large sketch-like mural carries a compelling sense of movement. If Pixel Pancho and his robotic creatures collaborated with Blu‘s universe, their work would probably resembles Liqen‘s

Aryz x David Choe x RETNA

A new trio has formed: Aryz and David Choe hooked up with RETNA to work on this new mural in downtown Los Angeles. Their distinctive styles don’t merge together quite yet, but the final product is memorable even if their idiosyncrasies are discernible.

ROA

ROA! As always, he successfully creates a eye-catching spectacle; this particular mural is in Chichester.

Seikon

 Seikon was spotted in Poland producing one of his kaleidoscopic shapes.

Seikon has been painting all over the walls of Gdynia, Poland. As per usual, the Polish street artist paints with bright geometric shapes. His understanding of light and dark is rapidly expanding: by creating shadows, his murals come to life as 3D structures.
