Fintan Magee

Fintan Magee is now in Brisbane, where he just completed this new piece. His use of the floor as an extension of his piece creates the sense that his mural lacks boundaries, extending everywhere.

INTI

INTI is now back in Central Europe, where he just completed this new piece in Eindhoven, Netherlands. The artist is currently in town for the Step In The Arena Festival where he  painted one of his signature mystical characters.

Deih

Deih keeps on tearing through the streets of his hometown, Valencia, with yet another new offering to the local pedestrians. Fascinated by the strangeness of life, the artist produces an original character in a surreal setting.

Spanish street artist Vinz is back. His sensual works recently hit Valencia, Spain for “Market.” The “Feel Free” project uses nudes and sex as a symbol of love and friendship.

The critique of consumerism in art has been overexplored. Here is an intresting reflection on the use of human bodies and sexuality in the advertising industry to sell products that rarely have much to do with the painted picture. The D&G reference is reminiscent of the highly criticized D&G ad setting a gang rape scene (below):

Just a few weeks after being spotted in Italy with Ericailcane, Blu is off in Valencia, Spain with Escif completing his latest street masterpiece. Escif took care of the falling car, while Blu’s piece is a bit more controversial. It seems to be a Moses-like character bringing down the ten commandments. However, the man’s beard is comprised of snakes, and the commandments feature currency rather than wise words.  Pics after the jump.
