I became an instant fan of Switzerland’s NEVERCREW – consisting of Pablo Togni and Christian Rebecchi – when I discovered their transformation of the exterior of a Swiss school. With roots in graffiti and successful ventures into such other artistic expressions as sculpture, designer toys, photography and videos, the talented duo continues to paint large scale murals that are both beautifully executed and intriguingly provocative.

Here are two close-ups from their recent mural executed at the Stroke Urban Art Fair in Munich:

NEVERCREW’S magical murals grace Swiss school

Whenever I pass bleak-looking school buildings, I imagine their exteriors transformed into playful wonderlands. NEVERCREW, a first-rate Swiss-based artists duo with roots in graffiti, did just that to an elementary school in Lugano. Here are some close-ups:
