Continuing his assault on walls around the world, DALeast (interviewed) continued to paint his creatures that appear at home in their urban environment. This newest mural, painted with his signature kinetic brushstrokes, was created for the ongoing Urban Forms Gallery public works series in Lodz, the 33rd piece in the whole project. The Chinese artist states - "The mural represents the deer as the figure of the motherland. Birds are roosting and taking off above her, and her body separates the thunderstorm underneath. She is also the individual being and the source of all her emotions, the play is performing in her perceptions by her thoughts and actions." Photo credit: Marek Szymański. Discuss DALeast here.

With this latest edition of our Streets: World Roundup article, we turn our eyes to Las Vegas for our featured mural from ROA. The Belgium-based artist withstood the desert heat for four days of hard work before completing this piece with the image of a horny toad, a local species that can squirt blood out of its eyes to deter predators. Painted for the Life Is Beautiful Festival, the wall can be found on Stewart and N. 6th Street. Other notable public art comes from Velvet & Zoer - Poland (source), Bifido - Italy (source), Dale Grimshaw - UK (source), Bordalo II - Portugal (source), Usugrow - USA (source), Vhils - France, 1010 - Germany (source), Titifreak - Brazil, Jaz - USA, Hense - USA (source), Dadi Dreucol - Spain, Momo - France (source), Killyrslf - USA (source) and Kid Acne - UK (source).

Set to open his first solo exhibition tomorrow with Joshua Liner Gallery, Alfred Steiner welcomed us into his laboratory in Chelsea. The American artist has long been on our radar with his amazingly realistic watercolors and creative approach to assembling iconic symbols & images based on the long standing Freudian technique of free association. On every piece he creates, the viewer will likely find something memorable and thought provoking. Entitled Likelihood of Confusion, this new body of work will not only include his signature watercolors, but also two oil fiberboards that we saw in this year's Volta art fair. Of course, there will be a special work from his shining "Paparazzi series" (3M based reflective artwork) that will meld Louis Vuitton with an infamous public incident involving the "Louis Vuitton Don". Check out a peek inside Steiner's studio below...

For the last several days now, Faile (featured) has been in Covington working on a large scale mural on the rear walls of the Republic Bank and Donna Salyer’s Fabulous Bridal on the corners of 6th Street and Madison Avenue. Invited in by BLDG, the Brooklyn duo have been adding their signature imagery along with hints of Kentucky culture on the 100 x 60 foot urban canvas with their torn collage style aesthetic, but in painted form. They state - "The mural was inspired by our rip style of painting. Given the opportunity to paint two buildings adjacent to each other we wanted the murals to have a conversation and to connect to one another. We’re honored to have a chance to bring our work to a few large walls in the city and hopefully have a long-term presence to inspire and excite those who have the pleasure of calling Covington home." Head over for a look yourself if you are in the area or check back next week for photos of the completed mural. Photo credit: Chris Breeden. Discuss Faile here.

Recently, street muralist Pejac (Art Focus) painted at a unique location just off the the shores of Canabria in northern Spain. Paying tribute to a famous Monet painting, Impression, Sunrise, the locally based artist recreated the image on the barnacled hull of an old ship. Viewers of the piece can enjoy different perspectives as the tide rises and falls against the corroded "canvas" that Pejac used. Learn more about the mural as well as enjoy a interview with the artist on Brooklyn Street Art.

One of the leading international contemporary art fairs, Frieze London, returned to the heart of the UK’s capital, London’s Regent’s Park, for its 12th edition. This year’s event brings together 162 of the world’s top contemporary galleries to the UK and features exhibitors from 25 countries. New York based artist Kaws was heavily present at the Perrotin Gallery, from his giant Companion sculptures to colourful canvases. Artist Carsten Holler transformed the Gagosian booth into a giant and fun playground Kinder Garten, with oversized dice and giant scrabble, where visitors were invited to squeeze a plush octopus, much to the children's delight. With a price tag of $300K, Jamie Lee Byars created a pink silk Hat for Ten for the Michael Werner Gallery. Ten participants, all dressed in black, interact and collaborate in a form of contemporary dance, all connected through the hoods. Sunny smiley objects from Takura Kawata, Jayson Musson and the Smile Face Museum adorn the walls of the New York gallery Salon 94  with a canary-yellow floor, bringing a happy face to the visitors. Brit artist Mark Wallinger selected works by different artists in order to recreate Sigmund Freud's Hampstead study for the Hauser&Wirth booth. In the corner, oblivious to the dialogue between the conscious and unconscious, is Christoph Buchel's Sleeping Guard. And for 80,000 Euros you can buy the concept, not the man. The most expensive price tag goes to Damien Hirst at the White Cube Gallery. The two part work of fish in formaldehyde from 1993 Because I can't have you I want you sold for £4 millions within the first 15 minutes of the VIP opening. Colour is also a big theme for several galleries, from Yves Klein and Jason Martin at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, to Steven Shearer & Lothar Hempel at Stuart Shave/Modern Art.  Photo credit: Butterfly.

Spanish artist Pejac (introduced) was recently in Istanbul where he created a triptych of pieces in Uskudar, the Asian part of Istanbul. The idea was to create an "eye trap" that will emphasize the strength and the illusion of the works by creating a sort of physical bond between them. Titled Lock, Poster and Shutters, the works where made between October 5th to 10th, using acrylic, sand paper and graphite. These signature artistic tools when modifying the given surface and creating such mirages. Always being focused on the urban context of his works, and the ways of distorting or altering its reality, the artist painted familiar architectural elements of the area, while adding a surreal twist to them. With windows and locks symbolizing barrier or connections between spaces, these visual interventions are literally connections between Pejac's witty imagination and the real world they are created in. Discuss Pejac here.

Yesterday, despite a recent hoax alleging his arrest, Banksy revealed his new work on his website - Banksy.co.uk. The piece titled The Girl with the Pierced Eardrum was painted the night before at Dockside Studios in Bristol, but shortly after the reveal it got defaced with a splash of black paint. The pieces is a parody of Dutch master painter Johannes Vermeer's Girl With A Pearl Earring. Using stencil and what seems to be an extinguisher with black paint, the elusive artist created a clever bastardized version incorporating the alarm bell on the facade into his portrait. This piece was created in the area where a lot of art and music studios are located, including the Studio Upstairs that helped Dale Marshall after he was discharged from the hospital. It's probably this artistic environment that inspired the Mr. B to create this work, and maybe even intentionally raise awareness about their worthy projects. Photo credit by Banksy & Feralthings.

Recently in Rovereto, a city in Northern Italy, Ericailcane and Bastardilla painted two walls that both featured their artistic takes on bicycling. Working in his home county, Ericailcane created a mural with his signature illustrative style starring a bear with an alternative mode of transportation strapped to its back while the invited guest from Colombia, Bastardilla, painted a pair of riders seen from a different perspective. Both artists spent several days with rollers & brushes with long extensions to each leave their distinctive mark on the city. Discuss Ericailcane here.

It looks like Phlegm and Pixel Pancho recently collaborated on a pretty elaborate mural in New Zealand for the Dunedin Street Art Festival. Working around some architectural elements as well as some wall foliage, the signature characters from the UK-based Phlegm mixed well with the robotic tendencies of the Italy-based Pixel Pancho. Their work melded seamlessly, in no small part due to Phelgm's decision to only use brushes and a sepia palette, matching up with the other artist perfectly. Photo credit: Joshua Jeffery.

Only few weeks after opening his solo show in London (covered), Ludo took off on another adventure continuing to spread his imagery around the world. Following up on his series of public works he's already done in Thailand and Japan earlier this year, the French artist recently visited China and manage to leave his mark in one of the most restricted and controlled countries. Placing his green & black pasteups on some ruined buildings somewhere in Shanghai, Ludo combined nicely his recognizable post apocalyptic imagery with similar surroundings. The new pieces include big butterflies that reference to his Chaos Theory show, as well as two new images done in his signature style. Discuss LUDO here.

Last week, we brought you a look at some artists prepping for their window installations for the M/6 phase (curated by Jonathan LeVine) of the ongoing art program for Urban Nation. We now have some in situ pics of the pieces for you to enjoy. Along with the windows from Dan Witz, Jeff Soto, Nychos, Olek and Saner, artists Alo, ONUR & WES21 and CANVAZ were seen putting up their work in Berlin. Also, check out some shots of Olek acting as a lookout for Witz as he glued up his optical illusion street interventions. Photo credit: Henrik Haven.
