Chicks, Beers & Cheers

On By ResaIn Alley Gallery, Uber 500048 Comments

Aquileana commented how cute the chicks toasting with beers on “More Paint” post are, and she’s right! They are adorable.

I made the mistake of going on a Sunday. The alley was filled with tourists, all taking pictures. 

I had a hard time focusing on my shots, especially waiting for no one to be walking by.

Uber has done a piece promoting St. John, New Brunswick, Canada. It is a wonderful Canadian city on the Atlantic coast.

Uber 5000’s chicks & other animated characters are very popular there & here.

You can see there is an entirely different Uber chicks mural around the corner. That’s still coming, a few posts from now.

Cheers to Aquileana, and all!

Blown Away

On By ResaIn Alley Gallery58 Comments

This alley has been painted over, except for a wee piece of the guy in the chair.

Lol, this guy, in his chair with wind blowing his hair, makes me think of Lonely Author

Love the part face in his tie/scarf that’s blowing in the wind.

There’s more that’s new.

There’s a kind of Mondrian-esque grid work with partial coloured faces and B&W faces.

It’s kind of Boho & sophisticated at the same time.

The other side of the alley has new writing…fresh and gorgeous. Below, I attempted to capture the alley in full.

The Artists: Not sure. If you can read the writings, that’s the artists

As for the rest: I found this left of theMondrian-esque  bit.

This was a thrilling find!

I found this lovely in Kensington Market.

She’s surrounded by Graf Writing. Far right green and pink piece reads SKAM. The others are familiar, but I can’t quite read them.

Click on the above pic to better see the girl surrounded by the writing.

The Band Played On

On By ResaIn Murals68 Comments

Although this mural s only 2 months old, it has been fouled with throw-ups.

Fortunately the t-ups are along the bottom, & I was still able to capture the best parts.

I’m working this mural right to left.

Below is a Pano shot, which shows some of the damage at the bottom. Any further back, and trees get in the way.

Three Sides of India

On By ResaIn Alley Gallery39 Comments

It’s on 3 sides of a garage.

I start with the face, because I adore it.

Love the reflection!

 Below is actually the first side I saw, as I walked up the alley.

I could have breached the fence, but it wasn’t necessary.

The face and Taj Mahal were on the garage door end. There was a car parked, and I couldn’t get in between.

However, I got this wonderful Taj Mahal reflection in the car.

You can see a wisp of the girl’s head scarf on the left.

The third side is gorgeous.

I managed to take the entire mural from across the street. I left the photo file large, so if you click on, it blows up beautifully.

SATH – Visual Communicator

On POLITICS

Artist: Sath

“The wall with the judge was painted in the village of Son Servera, and it talks about the freedom of speech. A Spanish rapper was condemned to jail just for the lyrics of his songs… ridiculous.”

Artist: Sath

The wall “Congreso De Los Imputados” is about politics.

Artist: Sath

“At the entrance of the Spanish parliament (congreso de los diputados): I changed the word diputados for imputados, (that means imputed). There are 2 lions, so I painted 1 of them (changing the ball for a prisoner ball), to criticize the government and the corruption.”

Artist: Sath

On SOCIAL ISSUES

Artist: Sath

“I also attached the image of the last wall with my project “Som-Riu”. This week I’m gonna start another “Som-Riu” project in another village.”

SOM – RIU is a participatory mural project to aid people with intellectual disabilities. Learn more! Visit a previous GLaM post: SOM – RIU. 

With HUMOR

Artist: Sath

Sath’s sense of humor is precious, whatever he decides to say with it.

“By the way, this wall painting is the new Spanish gastrobar Broken Eggs by the Galician Chef Jacobo Astray, in Ekkamai. Great selection of wines, craft beers, amazing food and service. All for affordable prices! Buen provecho!”

The CANVAS below is titled: UNI-CORN

Artist: Sath

With  LIVE PAINTING

Artist: Sath

“For the live painting shows, I paint in front of the public during music festivals. They can get tickets to win the painting with a raffle at the end”.

Sath paints B.B.King

I asked Sath about the above shot.

 “The organization in that case was called “renou col-lectiu” that in Catalan language means “collective noise”.

Sath hails from Mallorca (Spain). He uses spray & acrylic paint to create colorful pieces, slightly surreal.  He uses figurative elements, & impossible situations or actions, but he never neglects the message.

Sath sent me a FaceBook link to a short sweet video of himself painting the wall below. I can’t seem to embed the video. It’s not on YouTube, but if you click on the pic below, it will take you to the video. If you do not have a FB account (like me) just click on “Not Now”. You will be able to view it!
