Shalak Attack & Birdo

On August 27, 2016August 28, 2016 By ResaIn Cambridge International Street Art Festival, Murals, Street Art22 Comments

Shalak Attack is my Street Art hero.

Her colors, her attention to detail & her passion are killer.

Not to mention, she is 1/2 of Clandestinos.

Her work lights up my heart & mind, always has.

She was one of the 1st to finish her piece.

That was amazing, as the artists were behind schedule (rain), & I had to leave 2 hours early on the 2nd day. Not all pieces were done.

Check her out on Shalak Attack Website or on Shalak Attack on Instagram or Clandestinos Art on FaceBook

HELLO BIRDO!

I’ve adored Birdo’s work for years!

His take & style are unique & entertaining.

One of Toronto’s most prolific & omnipresent Street Artists, I feel his time has come in the international theater.

I can’t find an Instagram or website, but check out Birdo Art for a GLaM Post or type Birdo in the search in the footer to see more.

Much gratitude to both Shalak & Birdo!

24 Street Artists gathered to do their thing in Cambridge, Ontario.

They came from around the globe. 12 Graffiti Artists.

11 chalk artists

…and 1 cellograph artist.

White canvases were provided, as the historic city of Cambridge didn’t want artists to paint on the old stone walls.

I get that. Yet, there was plenty of parget wall to paint on. Hopefully, that will happen next year.

Csfa #4 — Artists l – R: Mediah, Tenso 2, Dave Bonzai, Whos One, Hugo Medina, Ean Kools. Sath, Odeith

I luv that the Artists works were along the river. You all know how much I love reflected Graf!

Csa1 #14 — Artists L to R: Mediah, Tenso 2, Dave Bonzai, Whos One, Hugo Medina

It rained most of the first day, & was raining when I took the above shot.

On day 1, the rain washed away all of the Chalk Artists’ efforts. On day 2 they worked very hard to make up time that was lost to nature.

In future posts I will highlight the artists, & if available provide links to their websites, Instagram or blogs. KUDOS to all you wonderful artists!

Nesting Ukrainian Dolls = Matryoshka

I wondered why the dolls were all different sizes, and now I know.

Each doll fits inside another, except the biggest, which houses the lot.

The mural is old and flaked, but the colours remain vibrant.

This mural is a beauty.

Canadian Black Drake

This Black Drake is obviously adored in Ottawa, Canada.

First off, he is set amongst luscious red flowers ….

…set at the foot of an important clock tower …

…. and guarded by Highland Regiment.

I also see Canada has imported an Alien to watch over the Black Drake.

Surrealist Mural in San Juan, P.R.

Humongous thank you’s to Maria from Tropical Flowering Zone for submitting this fab mural.

“Having multiple meanings, it could be about the past lives of Spanish and African American Heritage influences on the island. If you notice the mural is signed by two figures from the past who according to the mural have died.”

“The mural is open to multiple interpretations but seems to emphasize on the colonial influences of the past. There is a white man sinking in the water, but there is also an African American man who is heading towards the water also. The wooden branches tied together seem to represent part of the Spanish colonial vessels who traveled west to colonize the islands of the Caribbean and brought both the Spanish and African culture, symbolized by the multiple shells which can also suggest the presence of the Caribbean Taino Indians already inhabiting the island”

“The white man is portrayed as sinking in the water, yet the African American sinks also”

“Hands also seem to represent the acceptance of fate, although, as said earlier, this is open to interpretation”.

“Flowers can symbolize the aspect of transition and transmission of culture, since they carry seeds which could germinate in distant places, and spread cultural influences, if that were to be the interpretation”.

“This has been one of the most surreal murals I have ever seen seen. However, its symbolism seems to highly relevant to the Puerto Rican people and its cultural heritage.”

“Shells and flowers may have multiple meanings”.

THANK YOU MARIA!

In Little Italy, Ottawa, find this low, long running mural.

Of course, it’s in a parking lot, so I shot around parked cars

The mural is about 4 ‘ high & 40 ‘ long.

I shot it in sections, & am presenting it left to right.

All panoramic shots look great blown up.
