Leading up to the opening of their solo show this weekend at Corey Helford Gallery, Herakut painted a new mural featuring their signature mix of photorealistic and abstract elements. The new piece on the side of the gallery was painted next something Ron English put up and you can definitely see that what they chose to paint was partially in reaction to that. More photos below...

Previously seen as an ink drawing and oil on canvas piece, the "Labyrinth" image from Rustam Qbic recently took form as a large mural in Kiev, Ukraine, officially marking the beginning of the Art United Us project. Aiming to become the biggest urban art project (engaging 200 artists through mural art) while spreading the message of peace on Earth, the event is scheduled to take place in Ukraine and around the globe over the course of the next 2 years. Showing a mythical looking character hovering over a maze of buildings, this new work from Rustam Qbic symbolizes finding your own path in the journey that is life. Using familiar pastel tones and recreating a similar feel to his oil works, the Kazan-based artist spent almost 10 days armed with brushes and rollers rendering this piece. After kicking things off with this large mural on the facade of a five story building in central Kiev, the project will continue with a 50 m tall mural by Spanish artist Liqen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvZgBXt-qI4

Last weekend, Tristan Eaton spent some time painting a mural on the side of Bern’s Steak House in Tampa, Florida. The piece (arranged by CASS Contemporary) on the 60 x 30 foot was created in the LA-based artist's signature patchwork style to honor the restaurant's 60th anniversary and features Florida panthers intertwined with classical statues. The imagery includes much of the steakhouse's rich history including the face of the founder, the ornate iron work inside, the rich wood, parts of a map displayed, as well as some references to Bacchus (the Roman god of agriculture and wine) and Artemis (the Greek goddess of the hunt).

Back in November of 2015, the city of Gainesville coordinated the beginning of 352walls (The Gainesville Urban Art Initiative project). Curated by Iryna Kanishcheva, the first edition of the event was recently completed while producing 11 murals by internationally recognized artists, plus 10 murals by local artists and a bunch of electrical boxes interventions throughout the Floridian city's downtown. Some of the murals produced include a three step deconstruction of another mural previously done in Argentina by Franco Fasoli Jaz; a repetitive modular abstract piece by Elian Chali; the What Are the Aesthetics of Reinvestment portrait-based mural by Gaia; Evoca1's visual metaphor of  getting through childhood and letting go of past experiences; Diogo Machado aka Add Fuel's series of painted urban objects inspired by traditional Portuguese tiling; a two piece mural by AEC & Waone aka Interesni Kazki, as well as murals by Pastel, 2Alas, 2501, L.E.O. and Axel Void (seen above). The next edition of the project will continue this fall with more international artists coming to town to leave their creative marks.

The Brazilian brothers Os Gemeos are currently in Europe, working on a couple of different projects. Their first stop was in Paris where they collaborated with a long time friend and fellow artist/photographer, JR, creating an installation in the tunnels of the Palais de Tokyo. During their stay at the French capital, the twins spent three days creating works for the ongoing Lasco Project curated by Hugo Vitrani. Similar to their NYC collaborations a few months ago (covered), once again they mixed JR's photography -based pasteups with their signature yellow characters, producing a series of works referencing Paris in the Second World War. During the occupation, this particular location was used as storage for all the pianos stolen by the Nazis, so the artists reinterpreted the stories of those pianos and their owners. As descendants of war migrants themselves, this is not the first time for Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo to speak of this subject and this part of their history. The pieces will stay permanently at the location, but due to safety reasons, they are not accessible to the public, so these images shared on their social medias are the only way to enjoy them.

After collaborating with JR (interviewed) in Paris on some meaningful pieces (covered), Os Gemeos traveled to Milan to paint the inaugural mural for the “Outside the Cube” project. Taking advantage of the shape of the Pirelli HangarBicocca building where trains were built in the twentieth century, as well as referencing from the close proximity of railway lines running parallel to the site, the two brothers decided to paint one of their iconic yellow-skinned characters hanging from the back of a subway car. Entitled Efêmero, the multi-story high piece from the twins is their first major public work in Italy. Photo credit: Walls of Milano & Andrea Concina (via StreetArtNews). Discuss Os Gemeos here.

INO recently painted this large mural titled Snowblind in his hometown of Athens. Commissioned for the Public Information Campaign for Hepatitis C, the street artist produced a large figurative piece in his signature black & white style. Working without projectors and using his own mapping system, the Greek artist painted a faceless man blinded with the pursuit of money. By adding a light blue section in the shape of the human liver, INO is addressing the fact that 200,000 Greeks suffer from hepatitis C, but only 4% know it. Using a brush and almost exclusively a monochromatic palette, the finished piece feels like a blown up study painted on a massive scale. The grid of lines along with different shades of grey add to the dynamic of the image which was completed with a visual tear on the bottom of it, as a signature mark by the artist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-WqBq9mvwE

After sharing with you the public installation from Vhils (filmed) inspired by the neon lights of Hong Kong as well as a look at his indoor showing at the HOCA Foundation, it's now time to touch on the final part of our coverage. While visiting the Asian city-state, the Portuguese street artist naturally also created public art for his fans to enjoy. Along with highlighting his versatility with his various signature techniques, Vhils also carved out imagery with layers of posters on the side of one of the iconic trams of HK. Discuss Vhils here.

After spending months locked in his Barcelona studio working on an upcoming London solo show, Pejac recently flew to Middle East to create more thought provoking work. Always ready to tackle sensitive subjects in a subtle yet powerful way, his first stop was Al-Hussein, a Palestinian refugee camp in Amman, Jordan. Originally established back in 1948 as a result of the Arab-Israeli war, the camp provided shelter to the refugees who fled or were expelled during the Palestinian exodus. Almost 70 year since its opening, it is one of 10 such camps in Jordan, a country that is currently home to over 2 million Palestinian refugees. Along with these, there are 49 similar camps scattered around Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, all sharing similar stories. During his stay in Al-Hussein, the Spanish artist created a series of minimalist interventions with a goal to tell a story about its inhabitants. Not adding a single drop of paint, he managed to create these poetic works by removing small areas of the facade. Mixing his interventions along with the erosion produced by the passage of time, Pejac re-created the ghosts of life as it once was. Showing everything from playful moments in life before the conflict, to life with bulldozers constantly changing the surrounding, arguably most powerful piece is the representation of the shrinking Palestinian map. Showing Palestinian loss of land from 1947 onward, it's a painful reminder of the rough reality that brought these people to such places. Discuss Pejac here.

As previously reported, Os Gemeos recently spent some time in Milan, working on the first intervention in a new program by Pirelli's HangarBicocca - Outside the Cube. Curated by Cedar Lewisohn, this project is dedicated to street art and related forms of art connected to the urban setting and public contexts, and the twins had the honor to open it with a large mural installation entitled Efêmero (ephemeral). Aside from their undisputed graffiti and fine art world reputation, the Brazilian artists have been steadily confirming their mural art cred with large pieces painted around the globe. Always on the lookout for unusual buildings that can be used as 3D models for their work, they instantly fell in love with the idea of painting Pirelli's HangarBicocca. As kids that grew up in the 80s influenced by the hip-hop and NYC graffiti culture, they decided to create a monument to this worldwide movement and phenomenon. Shaped as a subway car, the building was a perfect setting to re-creating their iconic images of young graffiti vandals climbing trains and leaving their aerosol marks. Filled with patterns, vibrant colors and countless details that tell stories, this complex piece shows their diversity and talent on so many different levels - from realistic representation of a train with all the technical details, to their unmistakable character, and all the way to the enormous version of an old school train graffiti on the side. Genuinely loving their work and believing in what they do, the brothers once again placed numerous details in their work including the pattern on the bag made from logos of all the world's major metro systems, a small badge as a nod to their friend clown Slava, to a massive graffiti piece dedicated to their mother, Margarida. The project was officially revealed to the press on the 20th of April, with both Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo introducing their work along with Pirelli's CEO Marco Tronchetti Provera. The public opening was scheduled later in a day with musical performances, including a DJ set by one of the artists. Photo credit: Andrea Concina Discuss Os Gemeos here. https://vimeo.com/163618461
