BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY
Observing the events of the last weeks and today on the world stage, we are reminded of this street art piece created by artist Lapiz in Lemwerder, Germany in 2018.
“I painted it during the time that the FIFA WorldCup took place in Russia,” the artist tells us, “and it was intended to highlight Putin’s narcissism and homophobia.” You can see the reference to homophobia in the artist choice of multiple colors that are in the LGBTQ pride flag.
Blatant narcissism comes to mind today as Putin has shocked the world by the provocative act of invading Ukraine for no clear reason aside from a desire to dominate.
It’s four years old, this piece, but Lapiz remarks, “Looking at the events of the last few days it is of course very up to date.”
