I don't understand why these and so many other "murals" are so filled with grotesque images, war and death. I mean there must be other more helpful themes to present. Right?
Some of the graffiti artists, like the one you show today, are quite talented. Perhaps these paintings were commissioned by the factory, but I doubt it. Wish graffiti artists would find outlets for their work which did not include defacing property in public spaces. Our graffiti is mostly just a mess.
Very interesting to me that the skeleton relates to the tradition of momento mori seen in your region. Thanks for showing these to us. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
Not my personal taste in murals, but they certainly bring life to the area
ReplyDeleteI like the one with the skeleton.
ReplyDeleteWow, some are powerful and some are funny!
ReplyDeleteSome are very nice, some not so much...

ReplyDeleteWow - these are quite striking!
ReplyDeleteThese are great. The skeleton is amazing. If that's graffiti, it's a shame that it will be covered.
ReplyDeleteTake 25 to Hollister
I love that skeleton.
