A member of Street Art Utopia on Facebook wrote three year ago this nice piece about the future:

– My son, do you want to hear something strange?
– Yes! What?
– You know the new tree painting we did on the garage last week.. Up until around the year 2050 people generally did not have paintings on houses!
– What? Were they grey?
– Well, yes, many were. Often they would paint villas in One colour, like blue or yellow, but very rarely in more than one or two colours and almost never any pictures. Most apartment houses and government buildings and so on were grey. Artists sometimes went and painted on tunnels, grey municipal buildings and so on, but the pictures were washed away! By the government!
– Was art forbidden?
– Well no, but it had to be in special buildings only. Some people felt that houses was not to be painted on, except in one pale colour all over.
– Wow.. How dull.
– Yes, my son. Now lets get our jackets and go pick some fruit.

Street Artist El Mac

More on El Mac´s blog. Video of El Mac´s work.
Some of this are in collaboration with Retna.

On Facebook.

El Mac´s BIO from his homepage: Born in Los Angeles in 1980 to an engineer and an artist, Mac has been creating and studying art independently since childhood. His primary focus has been the lifelike rendering of human faces and figures. He has drawn inspiration from the surrounding Mexican & Chicano culture of Phoenix and the American Southwest, religious art, pin-up art, graffiti, and a wide range of classic artists such as Caravaggio, Mucha, and Vermeer. He began painting with acrylics and painting graffiti in the mid 90s, and has since worked consistently towards mastering his signature portrait style. Around 1998 he began to paint technicolor aerosol versions of classic paintings by old European masters. This led to being commissioned in 2003 by the Groeninge Museum in Brugge, Belgium to paint his interpretations of classic Flemish Primitive paintings in the museums collection. He has since been commissioned to paint murals across the US, as well as in Mexico, Denmark, Sweden, Canada, South Korea, Belgium, Italy, The Netherlands, Puerto Rico, Spain, France, Singapore, Germany, Ireland, and Vietnam.

Some of his murals have become local landmarks, especially his collaborations with Retna, which combine Macs representational figures with Retnas abstract lettering and designs. In 2008 he created a 100+ foot wide mural for an installation at the Denver Botanic Gardens, and also participated in the Manifest Hope art show during the Democratic National Convention in Denver. His art was used for a Juxtapoz magazine cover feature in 2009, and the cover of LA Weekly for a feature on the Seventh Letter collective. He has painted large murals during Art Basel in Miami the last three years in a row. 2009 brought a sold-out solo show at Fifty24SF Gallery in San Francisco, a two-man show with Retna at the Robert Berman Gallery at the Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, along with the publication of a book about Mac & Retnas artwork published by Upper Playground/Gingko Press. There was also a limited edition Montana spray can produced in Spain with their artwork on it. In 2010 he painted a large mural on the museum of contemporary art (MARCO) in Monterrey, Mexico as part of the Seres Queridos project.

Mac continues to focus primarily on creating more public art in different parts of the world, painting photorealistic canvases, and evolving his brushwork style. His intent is to uplift and inspire through careful, perfectionist renderings of both the sublime and the humble. Most especially he enjoys the simple challenges and rewards of painting. He works primarily in Phoenix and Los Angeles.

Rainbow Family Village (彩虹眷村) – In Taichung, Taiwan

In Taiwan, a 96-year-old artist transformed his village with colorful street art, attracting so many tourists that the mayor decided to preserve it. His vibrant paintings turned the village into a beloved local attraction.

Steven R. Barringer about Rainbow Family Village: “A beautiful and colorful small village in Taichung, Taiwan where almost everything in site is painted joyful colors. A sense of wonder and peacefulness is felt as you wander the tiny streets of this modest section of the big city. Bright lively colors call out to your inner child as you find what appears to be an endless seam of creative whimsical imagery. A must-see for any one in Taichung.”

About Fin DAC: Hailing from Cork (Eire), Fin DAC has lived the majority of his life in London (England). He is self-taught with influences ranging from dark graphic novels to Francis Bacon.

In a relatively short urban art career he has ploughed a singular path in defining an atypical paint/stencil style that ignores the accepted visual language of street art almost completely. He prefers the term ‘urban aesthetic’ to ‘street artist’.

Evol: “Earlier this year I have been kindly invited to an art festival as part of the MS Dockville Music Festival, which is going to happen in mid August.

Usually I prefer to work on site by interfering with already existing structures.
As I came there first, that’s what I found: endless meadow, trees and blue sky.
Not exactly what I play with usually.
So I decided to cut open the idyll, and pretend there is no endless meadow,
but only rooftop-gardens of the disgust underneath …

8 exhausting days of hard work (at least for people who usually cut paper only).

Thanks to my adorable helpers Matthias H. and Matthi R. and the Dockville Team, esp. Laura, Doro, Arvid, Felix, Christoph
