I just see the space and just do it. There’s no tricks. There’s no projectors. No apps, and no grids. What you do have is a building that has its unique architectural features.”
Matthew A. Eller interview of ROA, Belgium artist who tucked the pig below tightly in a space between a windowsill and the sidewalk, in Street Art News
Tried to find information about artists responsible for above art. “Two Elephants in Love” is by American artist Cernesto; and there are several works by Niafase, Key and Naths Ice, all from Mexico.
Acceptance of street art as a viable form of art contributing to the sense of community in urban environments is growing. The featured “Future” by Mr Cenz is part of what is billed as the largest street art project in the United Kingdom. The project was organized for Colt by Global Street Art, a business promoting living in “painted cities.” Teams of street artists were tapped for different portions of “Connected,” the theme reflecting the tech company’s mission and its location in what’s become known as the city’s “Silicon Roundabout.”
250 litres of black paint and over 500 spray cans later, Colt’s brutalist HQ has been transformed. More than 1,400 square metres of concrete transformed into a concept piece.”
Additional segments of the collaborative “Connections” are above. The dove and hand, “Magnetoreception,” is by Nomad Clan. The entwined chains and hands are by 9th Seal and Best Ever. The tangled cartoonish figures plugged into one another are by Italians Hunto and Mr Thoms.
The woman at the bottom right, whose dance partner is a robot, is by the team of New Zealand-born Captain Kris and American-born Londoner Tizer. That image transitions into “Mycelium Network” by Ed Hicks and Dr Zodak.
