More More More…
Buenos Aires is still getting hit by Ripo and Above as well as many other Artists, from Argentina and well beyond. It’s the perfect time of year to be here, although the heat can be nearly crippling during the middle of the day, and all seem to be taking full advantage of how chill it is to paint here. The walls are bleeding with color in this city…
Above:WIPE / IT ! This Wipe/It piece was a pivotal and overall fun piece for me. After the robbery situation I felt that In order to progress and move forward I needed to wipe clean that energy and come to terms with the new year. The Wipe/It piece was symbolical of that situation as well. Trying to be as creative as possible with this piece I decided to make it an installation piece that would be more logical to the people passing by on the street that might ask “Wipe it…wipe what?” Tying toilet paper on the wall and especially threading it through the overhead tree limbs was a blast. It reminded me of when I was younger going around my neighborhood “T-p-ing” houses.
Above: I enjoy the straight vertical lines mixed with the fluidity of the wind blown toilet paper. its a nice contrast between being organized and free flowing.
Ripo: The atmosphere in Buenos Aires is a creatively communal one, with big collaborative works becoming more and more common especially as more and more artists begin to travel down here. This is just one section of a BIG session realized over an entire Power Plant . Enjoy this visual mash-up made up of El Tono, Nasa, PMP, Sonni, and myself…
Above: When I saw this wall with two large white splashes and the drips falling down the wall I thought to myself that it needed More/Drips to really make an impact.
Ripo: Hands on the wall… Taking Back something we never want to hear…
