Wynwood Murals 2017 b





In the fifth courtyard is "Street Scene" by Logan Hicks, a photo-realistic image.
Hicks paints with spray cans and gets his crisp edges by using a series of stencils.





And then in the middle of the courtyard is a new sculptural piece by Bordalo II.
"Cat Plane" of steel.  Bordalo II is famous for his multi-colored animals, painted or
constructed.  He is from Lisbon, Portugal.





"Cat Plane."  Bordalo II.  Portugal.





The fences and walls on the outside of Wynwood Walls are also all decorated.  This
whole new section of fence was painted by French street artist 2SHY.
It is entitled "Orange Snowman."





2SHY.  "Orange Snowman" seen from the other end of the fence.





Seth Globalpainter.  "The Children."   On 2nd Ave between 25th and 26th.





"RISK" is the name of the artist, so this is a "tag" mural.






One of my favorite new artists this year is Ernesto Maranje.  "This is "Peacock Fish."
You can see that there is much construction in the area as Wynwood is being gentrified
and built up.  He lives in Miami.





Ernesto Maranje.  "The Panda."  40 x 20 feet.  Miami.





"Lady with Roses."





"The Little Train."  Bon Vivant Custom Woodworking.





Angel Lopez painted this "Serpent with Roses" on one side of the door of this
art gallery.





His friend was painting this "Serpent and Woman" on the other side.


The entire exterior of this salesroom is covered with a mural of faces by New York
street artist, Jordan Betten.




Jordan Bettern.  "Faces."  Jordan signs his name at the bottom right.





Jordan Betten."  "Faces" on another wall.




Greg Mike.  "The Lion Roars."





Fumero.  "Dutch Masters."  New York Street Artist.
This is a wonderful variation on the Franz Hals painting and the inside cover of a
famous cigar brand.



Nychos.  "Wolf Head Disected."
Nychos is a street artist from Austria who creates spectacular, detailed works.






Zosen.  "The Perfect World."
Several artists worked on several circular images here.  Zosen is the most famous.





London Police.  "An Auto Repair Shop."  Dutch





"Giant Machine."





Apparently three Venezelan artists worked on this mural and three pieces of sculpture.
Christopher Pacillo did this part.  Venezuela is the most famous country in the world
for Op Art, and this is a strong reminder of this, even in street art.





El Avila from Caracas.  "Venezuela."





Madsteez.  "The Eyes."
Mark Paul Deren, more commonly known as "Madsteez," is an artist and designer
based in California.  He works for Nike, Target, Red Bull and many other large
corporations.  They pay him well.  But these large murals he does for fun and
the enjoyment of visitors; he is not paid for them.





Zosen and others.  "Tropical Delights."
Murals are found everywhere; this one is in an alley between two warehouses.





"Flight of Birds."





"Skateboard U.S.A."





Image based on flag; it is monochromatic, like this picture.





"The Ravenous Hare."





Jenna Morello.  "Tan Roses."  New York.
Roses are a very popular subject for graffiti artists.  Jenna has been painting in Wynwood
for several years and uses roses in a variety of ways.


Jenna Morello.  "Blue Roses."  This is a very popular mural made a couple of years ago.



Jenna Morello.  "Blue Roses" wraps all around the building.



On 9th Avenue, a small dress shop was using red and white roses.




"Darth Vader" and a complex calligraphic background are in the parking lot
of a small brewery.





"Outlines of Peonies" covered a wall.







"A Maze of Dots."




"Four Applehead Figures."


An Elementary School has this mural on the front.




Another mural of students on the side of the school.




A Giant Iguana over the entrance to the school.
