Sepe and Chazme recently collaborated on a large mural in Richmond, Virginia in honor of the Richmond Mural Project. The Polish duo previously collaborated on a number of different occasions.

Using their distinctive styles and a color palette mixing warm and cold tones, the duo created an intricate piece conveying a haunting image of men in haz-mat suits, trapped in a geometric world where each wall bleeds onto the next one.

French artist Levalet has been working on several trompe-l’oeil on the streets of Paris. True to his playful aesthetic, Levalet uses the environment around him to build his piece. His life-sized wheat paste posters blend with the neighborhood they are plastered on.

ZED1 is currently in San Benedetto Del Tronto, Italy. He recently produced the piece above entitled, “”Doubts Of The Soul.” Zed1 seems captivated by the meaning of time. Using vibrant colors and the charming imagery of a bird, the Italian artist produces an image which at first glance appears adorable and endearing. However, if you look a little closer you will recognize “warning” symbols such as the red apple and the red snake seemingly taunting the bird and a red mask that looks like the devil reminding us that things are never quite what they seem.

Etam Cru was recently in Oslo, Norway where they produced a mural depicting the infinite imagination of a young boy while brushing his teeth. Thanks to its familiar setting the image captures the viewers attention, immediately drawing the eye to the boy and his surrealistic fantasies.

Zed1, an Italian street artist, recently developed a “Second Skin” project. In his large murals he plays with the ideal that everything can change. It’s an innovative way to paint walls. Overtime, his mural and its meaning metamorphoses itself and evolves. He successfully captures that in a series of videos.
