The Gray World of 2050: A Tale of Restricted Art and Self-Expression

My son, have you ever heard of something strange?

“Yes, tell me!” my son exclaimed with excitement.

“You know the new tree painting we did on the garage last week? Well, up until around the year 2050, it was not common for people to have paintings on their houses. Can you imagine that?”

“What? Were all the houses just gray?” my son asked in disbelief.

“Many of them were. People would usually paint their houses in one solid color, like blue or yellow, but it was rare to see more than one or two colors and almost never any pictures. Most apartment buildings, government buildings, and other structures were gray. Artists would sometimes go and paint on tunnels or grey municipal buildings, but their paintings would eventually be washed away by the government.”

“Was art forbidden?” my son asked, wide-eyed.

“Not exactly, but it had to be confined to specific buildings only. Some people believed that houses should not be painted with anything other than pale, solid colors. It was quite a dull and restrictive society.”

“Wow,” my son said, “that’s so boring.”

“Yes, my son, it was. But now, we have the freedom to express ourselves and add color and beauty to our surroundings. Now, let’s put on our jackets and go pick some fruit.”

Exploring the Significance of Street Art: Why it Matters:

As an artist, I know firsthand how important self-expression is. For me, street art is one of the most powerful mediums to accomplish that. Because street art is often created outside of traditional art institutions, it allows us as artists to bypass gatekeepers and create work that is not constrained by gallery or museum regulations.

But street art is so much more than just self-expression. It’s also a powerful tool for making social and political commentary. As street artists, we frequently use our art to bring attention to issues like injustice, inequality, and poverty. Street art has the power to spark change by bringing attention to these important issues.

Not only that, but street art can also play an important role in community-building. It can help revitalize neighborhoods and give locals a sense of pride and ownership. And as someone who’s lived in many different communities, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful this can be.

And lastly, street art is an important form of cultural expression. It reflects the values, beliefs, and aspirations of the communities in which it’s created. It can be used to celebrate and preserve cultural history, as well as advance inclusivity and diversity.

Street art is an incredibly powerful and important form of self-expression, social and political commentary, community-building, and cultural expression. It plays a vital role in shaping our cities and communities.

Street artists in and outside of Ukraine are using their art as a form of resistance against the Russian invasion and occupation. Through their powerful and emotive work, they are giving voice to the experiences and aspirations of those affected by the war. They are providing a powerful reminder that art can play an important role in the struggle for justice and human rights.

Many artists have contributed touching art this past year and you’ll see more if you keep checking through this collection.

The legacy of Miss. Tic: French Street Artist who used Art for Social Change

Miss. Tic 20.02.1956 — 22.05.2022. Miss. Tic was a French street artist who is known for her stencils of dark-haired women that can be found in the streets of Paris. Her work is often associated with poetry, as many of her stencils include text that is often thought-provoking and evocative. Miss. Tic began her career as a street artist in 1985, and has since become one of the most recognizable and respected figures in the French street art scene.

One of the things that sets Miss. Tic apart from other street artists is her use of stencils. She often used the same stencil repeatedly, but with subtle variations, to create a sense of continuity and familiarity in her work. This technique allows her to convey a powerful message with a minimal amount of visual clutter.

In addition to her street art, Miss. Tic is also known for her activism and her commitment to using art as a tool for social and political change. She has often used her art to comment on issues such as gender inequality, racism, and poverty.

Over the years, Miss. Tic has gained a devoted following of fans who appreciate her unique style, powerful messages, and the way she has helped to shape the landscape of street art in Paris. Her work can be seen in many of the most iconic locations in the city, and it continues to inspire and influence new generations of street artists. More art by Miss.

Simpsons!: This bus stop in Brazil, before and after an artist added their touch

In the bustling city of Campo Grande, Brazil, an abandoned bus stop has been revived and reimagined by DUUDOOR, an innovative artist collective consisting of father and son duo, Ernando Jacques Sanches and Eduardo Fernando Savala Sanches.

The pair had been on a hiatus from art, seeking inspiration and motivation to return to creating. When some friends showed them a project where a local artist had infused new life into a bus stop with Simpsons-themed art in Porto Murtinho, they knew they had found their muse.

Excited by the idea of not only creating art but also revitalizing neglected urban spaces, DUUDOOR set to work on their own bus stop project. What emerged was not just an aesthetic transformation of an ordinary space, but a demonstration of the power of art to spark joy and community engagement.

After completion, they reflected on the gratifying experience of witnessing the impact of their art. It was a reminder of art’s power to transform and inspire. This first project was financed solely by DUUDOOR’s own resources, but their work’s impact has led to offers of support for future projects, for which they are deeply appreciative.

Rejuvenating forgotten corners of the city with art, DUUDOOR’s project is a testament to the transformative power of creativity. Their initiative invites us all to imagine how we might use our own talents to breathe life into spaces around us. It’s a powerful example of how art can not only beautify a space but also bring together a community.

Today, we take you to Greenock, Scotland, where street artist Smug last year created a thought-provoking mural with an essential message.

This artwork aims to spark conversations around normalizing breastfeeding and improving the town’s breastfeeding rates, which are currently among the lowest in the world. Let’s explore the inspiration behind this striking mural and the collaboration that made it possible.

“Hopefully this mural will spark conversation that will lead to normalising breastfeeding and improve breastfeeding rates in the area” – Smug

Greenock, recently named the most deprived area in Scotland, faces a significant challenge when it comes to breastfeeding. On average, only 19% of mothers continue breastfeeding after six weeks, with specific areas in Greenock showing even lower rates, dropping to as low as 1%. This puts the town in the unfortunate position of having the second-worst breastfeeding rate globally.

A Catalyst for Change

Smug’s powerful mural hopes to inspire conversations that will ultimately help normalize breastfeeding and improve breastfeeding rates in Greenock. This collaborative project involved Inverclyde Health and Social Care Partnerships’ Infant Feeding Team and received support from Oak Tree Housing Association. Smug expressed gratitude to Catriona, the driving force behind this impactful mural, and Angela, who served as an excellent model.

The Artist’s Determination

Creating this mural was no easy feat. Smug faced four named storms during the ten days spent working on the piece, enduring relentless rain and freezing temperatures. Despite these challenges, the artist persevered, making this mural a testament to dedication and passion in the face of adversity.

I’ve always been drawn to SMUG’s art—there’s just something amazing about how he brings everyday faces to life on such a massive scale.

Known worldwide for his super-realistic portraits, SMUG’s murals are incredibly detailed and often tower up to 14 stories high! His work isn’t just impressive; it’s a mix of creativity and skill, with each piece telling its own story through light, shadow, and careful detail.

When SMUG starts a mural, he’s not just copying a photo; he’s adapting to the wall in front of him. Every wall, with its own texture and quirks, becomes part of the artwork. Seeing him turn these challenges into part of the art is what makes his work so incredible.

Street Artist Adele Renault

By Adele Renault in Stavelot, Belgium.

Adele Renault: Pigeons always fly home. This one is perched up on a hill next to a 100 year old beech, visible from the old rail road and the road below. Practically in my old high school’s backyard and a 2 miles flight to my parents home. Had to be a pigeon when I first saw the wall. Thanks to the Cultural center of Stavelot for making this happen.

Adele Renault: Often when I paint a pigeon mural in the US, people say “oh look she’s painting an eagle.” And now when painting a pigeon in Belgium several people stopped by and said “oh is she painting the Belgian flag?”. Why are people so obsessed with patriotism? Hopefully it can just be art or just a pigeon to brighten someone’s day.

Diving Into the World of Odeith’s Anamorphic Graffiti

Portuguese street artist Sergio Odeith, also known as Sérgio Odeith, has gained international recognition for his jaw-dropping 3D graffiti pieces that defy the limits of perception. In this blog post, we’ll explore 20 of his most astonishing works and delve into the world of this master of illusion.

🔗 Follow Odeith on Instagram

Odeith’s Background and Style

Odeith began his graffiti career in the 1980s, honing his skills on the streets of Lisbon. Over the years, he has refined his technique and developed his signature style, characterized by bold colors, intricate details, and mind-bending optical illusions (read more about him later in this post).

The Art of Creating 3D Graffiti

Odeith’s 3D graffiti art is a perfect blend of skill, perspective, and creativity. By employing anamorphic techniques and masterful shading, he transforms ordinary walls and objects into realistic three-dimensional scenes that appear to leap off the surface.

Odeith’s Signature Subject Matter

Odeith is known for tackling a wide range of subject matter in his work, from animals and insects to urban landscapes and fantastical creatures. His pieces often feature a sense of movement and depth, drawing viewers into his vivid, illusionary world.

Exploring Odeith’s Most Astonishing Works

Among Odeith’s most remarkable pieces are his larger-than-life murals of animals, including a majestic lion, a menacing crocodile, and an otherworldly praying mantis. These works not only showcase his technical prowess but also highlight his ability to breathe life into his subjects.

Odeith’s Impact on the Street Art Scene

Odeith’s innovative 3D graffiti art has earned him a reputation as one of the most talented and influential artists in the street art world. His work has inspired countless other artists and raised the bar for what is possible with spray paint and a blank canvas.

Odeith’s Background and Style: A Deeper Dive

Born in Damaia, Portugal, in 1976, Sérgio ‘Odeith’ first picked up a spray can in the mid-1980s, painting signatures and doodles on his neighborhood walls. It wasn’t until the mid-1990s that he encountered graffiti artists in Carcavelos, where the movement was gaining momentum. This sparked a passion for graffiti that led him to paint illegally on street walls and railway lines in and around Lisbon.

Odeith’s impressive evolution as an artist is due in part to his dedication to painting large-scale murals in various neighborhoods throughout Damaia, Carcavelos, and Amadora. Although he dropped out of school at the age of 15 and never received any formal art training, Odeith’s talent for drawing and his relentless self-taught approach to his craft led him to become the renowned artist he is today.

In 2003, Odeith adopted his current moniker, and by 2005, his innovative use of the anamorphosis technique began garnering international recognition. This “Somber 3D” style, as he later called it, involves painting on 90-degree corners or flat walls to create authentic, large-scale compositions of insects or objects that give a striking 3D optical illusion effect. Many of these works, painted in abandoned spaces, quickly went viral due to their realism and technique.

Odeith briefly lived in London after closing his tattoo shop in 2008, but he has since returned to Lisbon, where he now focuses exclusively on studio work and walls. Despite his lack of formal training, Odeith has become a pioneering force in the world of street art, with his dark anamorphic style and passion for the craft setting him apart from other artists.

“Axolotl” by Louis Masai in Mexico City.

Louis Masai: First mural of 2022 and first international painting BC19 – Roma Mexico City! This is a critically endangered Axolotl also known as a Mexican salamander. They only live in mexico in three waterways: Chalco Lake, Chapultepec Lake and Xochimilco Lake which is polluted.

Their population of mature adults in the wild is around 50-1000 individuals! Which means that there is a disproportionately larger captive population in aquariums around the world! Threats: International pet industry, local food, local medicine, invasive species, housing developments, domestic, industrial, agricultural, and garbage pollution.

This wall was made possible by my local homeslice Alex Revilla, biggup for being a legend and hosting us in mexico city! One love
