Street art: Blu the Terrible.

Urban Art: Blu, an Italian artist in Mexico.
Post Author: Brainwashed Poet.

Urban space is boring. The houses are all similar, no one has to pay a good architect, graffiti bored or overwhelmed with their poor quality and its endless repetition (copying talentless teenagers and over again). You turn a corner and you find miles of publicity, blablabla, sex, blablabla, consume.

However there is always something beautiful or at least disconcerting to see, for example, the new global trend, the Street Art. I will not be condescending in Mexico most of the street art is shit, sticket, sticket, stencil, ugly or foolish, the fool who sticks his ninjas, or other che faces or eyes cassetito, is a mediocrity terrible. Of course there are always exceptions to brighten up the space but this time not speak Mexican artists but an Italian who went ago bit here: Blu, who has a very particular way of understanding the painting on the wall, he does not use paint spray, he uses rollers, he does not write lyrics twisted, he creates a giant monster mythology bald men. His work is fantastic as both policy (although their messages are not as obvious as those of Banksy, for example) and always monumental, has toured Europe and America creating monsters in the collapsed buildings of the metropolis (never paints the funds but leaving the texture and the actual colors of the sduperficie) and has done collaborations with other greats like the veteran (although for my taste not so good and has lost its way) Obey (that of Andre the Giant stickets http://obeygiant.com/ who incidentally already said in the Carrillo Gil). Undoubtedly Blu is one of the finest examples of street art and I like in particular by their distance graffiti style and even typical stencil, his works are more related to illustrators of children's stories or Germans and Italians always adding a touch disturbing.

Blu, along with Lorenzo Fonda created a project called MEGUNCIA-Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Argentina ( http://www.megunica.org/ ) in which he documented with video and photography his Latin American tour. In Mexico Blu cruised Mexico City, Puebla and Merida.

These are some of the works he did in Mexico:
