BSA Special Feature: Brad Robson in Rural Spain.

Graffiti/Urban Art/ Street Art supercharged the mural scene, which rightly means this kind of work must be necessarily urban. Right?

We’ve documented so many anomalies in the Street Art scene over the last few years that extend to rural examples of the architecture that everyone must now admit that our labels are not keeping pace with the change.

Fine artist and painter Brad Robson from Australia did one of his interrupted portraits in rural Spain recently, and frankly, he likes it. “It makes me want to do more like this around the world….I think the art has more impact in the remote areas, in the rural areas,” he says.

“Inflateable Refugee” by Artist Collective Schellekens & Peleman

Wearing a life jacket and clutching his knees, this inflatable art project created by the collective of Schellekens & Peleman continues to be exhibited in high profile waterways to speak about the hundreds of thousands of people escaping war and economic catastrophe. These few images of the 6 meter tall “Inflatable Refugee” this summer in Copenhagen demonstrate the strong effect that a large figure on a flattened horizon has, and the impact it can have on city dwellers.

Following that is a news story of the installation’s local significance.

BSA Special Feature: STARE: Sans Titre

Quick cuts and overlays, tracing outlines and abstracts floating in color washes are set to a popping beat by Toast Dawg in this new video by Craeon to set the stage for Stare. In the game for 20 years since starting with Montreal’s NME crew, the writer is also an abstract geometrist as well. Extra points for the hoisting of a title tag with a “SOLD” red dot next to it.

 

 

EMISSIONS: ANDRECO

The second site-specific artwork of a series called “Climate” by Bologna based Andreco – the first was his initial installation at the UN COP21 climate change conference in Paris last fall, here the artist/geologist spreads it long and wide to show the impact of pollution on cities and our air quality.

In a statement he released with the project Andreco says he once again is depicting the relationship between man and nature with “an intense criticism about anthropogenic pollution generated by of the use of fossil fuels.”

Created on posters over a multi-block distance for the CHEAP festival in Bologna, Italy, he is telling the story of emissions “This thickening process increase more and more billboard after billboard: from fine dust (PM10) scattered into the air to their precipitation on earth until it gets to the mountain and gradually ends in a completely black poster,” he says.
