Dark and Surreal Street Art Murals

Beautifully Surreal and sometimes Dark Street Art Murals, by Artist Alexis Diaz, from Puerto Rico.  This is art that the masses can enjoy, you don't have to pay an entrance fee or make special plans to go and visit it in a museum.  This form of Street Art can be admired every time you go to work, visit someone or just out on a walk, each time enjoying and discovering a different detail.

Building Design Face Lift

A couple of weeks ago we featured a An artist in Tehran that created murals like these.  This week we are going to have a look at French Artist Patrick Commecy's incredible murals.  The images we have chosen are the ones that have rejuvenated the blandest building facades.  These lovely paintings lift the look of the buildings and makes us pay attention to buildings we see so often they almost become invisible.  For a town or a city, this can also be an amazing tourist attraction.  Some of these drawings give a flat 2D facade an inviting 3D view, have a look at the Before pictures in one of the corners of the main picture.

Street Art with Ceramic Tiles Illustrations

Portuguese Artist Diogo Machado aka (Add Fuel) demonstrates the level of detail and beauty that you can bring to Street Art.  As a Visual and Graphics Artist, his creations were mostly based on the sci-fi universe, now he is concentrating on the on reinterpreting traditional tile designs.  This post can be divided in two parts, his tile applications on electrical junction boxes, where he gives the impression that the metal box has been torn away revealing the tiles below and the murals, that help uplift the building or the wall in which he works.  Enjoy this beautiful walk around the new neighbourhood.

Beauty in 3D Anamorphic Graffiti Drawings

Portuguese Graffiti Artist Odeith creates Anamorphic Graffiti Drawings, bringing a popular style of drawing like the 3D Anamorphic to the world of graffiti.  An Anamorphic image can be seen in its intended 3D view, when observed from a specific angle.  Beautiful lines and Colours, plus incredible shading, really make these graffiti, literally stand out.  We have included a video in which Odeith creates one of his drawings, plus all the images can be enlarged when pressed, not the first one.  There is a high demand for these skills, as Odeith, has created large scale murals for major national and international businesses.  Local Authorities should think about providing walls for young inexperienced artist to practice on, the same way they provide skateboard parks, and maybe they wouldn't feel the need practice people's properties?
