BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY
Rising above the sticky spray-painted chaos on the first story level of nearly everything else here in Wynwood, you’ll walk by and gaze upward at the newly finished panels of scientifically accurate butterflies by the French street artist Mantra. This is part two of a gig he got with a real estate firm that we caught the first part of just before the New Year. (Mantra Flies High in Wynwood, Miami)
We’ll be sharing some of the street’s visual cacophony with you in future postings, but for today let’s calm our minds to recover from the harsh conflicting messages of raw commerce crashing into the enormous income gaps and class ruptures everywhere else. These butterflies are expertly rendered, preserved for posterity, floating up from the fray – a stolen moment of tranquility that silences the jackhammers and beeping cash registers.
