Opiemme

| Tagi: ,

The colours falling in a cascade from the top of the building are a symbol of the revitalisation that street art brings to public space. Opiemme, himself a poet, dedicated his mural to Wisława Szymborska. The colours in the upper part of the mural are designed to draw the observer towards the wall, where they are confronted by a fragment of Szymborska’s poetry, a line from the poem “Under One Small Star” – “Truth, please don’t pay me much attention./ Dignity, please be magnanimous.”

The mural depicts a construction with which we could go on a journey beyond daily life. Forget about the destination and concentrate on the fact that the road itself might be more interesting that what awaits us at its end. In the artist’s eyes, the road is more significant than the destination to which it leads.

Key Detail

| Tagi: , ,

The theme of the fourth Monumental Art festival was taken from the title of a painting by Paul Gaugin. Key Detail directly harks back to the work of the French painter by bringing one of his Polynesian beauties straight into the 21st century and with the aesthetics associated with Japanese Manga. The mural shows a woman as a witch using her charm to gain hypnotic control over man.

Jan Kaláb

Jan Kalab, or Cakes at the time, was one of the pioneers of the Czech graffiti scene. Like many of his peers, he went down the long path from tagging and the illegal painting of trains to exhibitions in galleries. Particularly in the Czech’s gallery work, the motif is often the one seen in Zaspa – interlocking spheres and an attempt to capture the phenomenon of infinity.

“Eternia” shows a world within a world, a micro and a macrocosm, the eternal cycle of day and night, birth and death, rise and fall. The breath which brings life also brings death. Happiness is the road to attaining your own internal state of mind, in which we see things as they are, without any extras.

Run

The characteristic profile, the particular rendering of the hands and a figure painted in a different colour to what was intended. Run had only to see the scale of the wall with his own eyes to understand that the original plan for black as the dominant colour was not the best idea for his work on Pilotów 8a. Despite the scale of Run’s mural, the figure blending in with the sky does not dominate the neighbouring space.
