Banksy’s Self-Destructing Painting


In a moment that caught the art world by surprise, Banksy’s Girl with Balloon self-destructed just as the final hammer signaled the end of an evening of auctions in London. The work sold for £1,042,000 ($1.4 million), tying the artist’s record in pounds at auction previously achieved in 2008.

The framed work, spray paint and acrylic on canvas, mounted on board depicted a girl reaching out toward a bright red, heart shaped balloon – one of Banksy’s most iconic images – began to pass through a shredder hidden in the frame.

Hobo Graffiti




Hobos, or tramps, were itinerant workers and wanderers who illegally hopped freight cars on the newly expanding railroad in the United States in the late 19th century. They used graffiti, also known as tramp writing, as a messaging system to tell their fellow travelers where they were and where they were going. Hobos would carve or draw their road persona, or moniker, on stationary objects near railroad tracks, like water towers and bridges.

St+art India


India is a country that bubbles with creative energy. But from the colorful fashions to the extravagance of Bollywood, the same images tend to spring to mind to us outsiders. St+art India is on a mission to change the way we think about art, India and the relationship between the two.

Founded in 2014, the group – led by Akshat Nauriyal, Hanif Kureshi, Arjun Bahl, Thanish Thomas and Giulia Ambrogi – brings colorful art projects to India’s streets.

Mainly working in residential neighborhoods with local government support, the non-profit engages the public through huge, eye-catching murals painted on street corners, intersections or apartment buildings. Since the first projects in New Delhi, St+art India has expanded to eight cities in the past four years. They’ve even been credited with creating the country’s first art district – Lodhi Colony in Delhi.

Influencer Mural


Un mural a aparut in LA unde doar pentru cei cu peste 20.000 followeri puteau sa intre in cortul amenajat sa-l vada. Dupa cateva zile, muralul a devenit public, iar cateva zile si mai tarziu, a fost desenat altceva peste el.
Ideea din spatele acestui proiect ii apartine lui Dillon Francis.

REVOK vs H&M


Dupa vechiul scandal cu ZARA care “imprumuta” design-uri (vezi articol AICI), vine randul unui alt brand super cunoscut cu super multi bani, sa testeze artistii.

Pe scurt, REVOK a facut un graffiti ca de obicei pe un perete in NY; H&M vine si isi filmeaza/pozeaza hainele in fata acelui perete; REVOK se supara ca lucrarea/imaginea lui ajunge fundal pentru H&M si cere compensatie intr-un cadru juridic; H&M refuza si vrea intr-un cadru juridic sa legalizeze folosirea tuturor lucrarilor stradale ilegale (street art & co.) pentru scopuri publicitare.

Sucks! Dar REVOK, REYES si STEEL au mai actionat acum ceva timp brandul Roberto Cavalli pentru un lucru similar si au castigat.
