BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY
Both the Australian Fintan Magee and the Italian Agostino Iacurci have painted multi-story murals in Kiev for Mural Social Club this week with water as the primary force, the natural protagonist.
Magee has been using this theme in his murals for the last few years as this natural resource is increasingly being horded and privatized – and rising sea levels are threatening the evisceration of cities, communities and economies. Here his figure appears to be a conduit for the absorbtion of water below her and the fauna above.
Iacurci is much more of a design eye when it comes to representational flat and slightly raised forms so it is interesting how this potted plant is given to the city. He says the title of his new piece is “Water, Please!”
