Blu hits Berlin (and other news)

Posted: August 1st, 2010 | Author: | Category: Featured Posts, Photos | Tags: | 3 Comments »

Blu has been busy recently. Here are two huge walls he painted in Berlin. I’m not so sure what the meaning of this first one is though. Something about the Berlin Wall and the Euro. I am woefully unprepared to hazard any guesses about European politics.

On the other hand, this piece is a bit easier to understand:

And that global warming mural is painted right next to a classic Blu (and around the corner from an Os Gemeos):

And so long as we’re on the topic of Blu, it’s worth mentioning two more things: A. This wall in Warsaw and B. Blu will be at Nuart in Stavanger later this year along with Roa, M-City, Evol, Ericailcane and others.

    I think the first one is just a commentary on the time line in Berlin; about how the Wall fell and then the Euro rose. POSSIBLY something along the lines of the walls of Communism simply being replaced by the manufactured boundaries of capitalism/consumerism… ?

    And the second piece hopefully is in place of that hideous World Cup advertisement that was painted there for years …

    Sorry, but…. this is just pretentious and ugly (especially global warming piece).
