Basel Week 2013: Street Art at the Wynwood Walls and More

The Wynwood neighborhood in Miami is the street art nexus during Basel Week. The urban art event The Wynwood Walls transforms the area into a huge canvas for some of today's most well-known street artists. While there is an officially sanctioned courtyard that houses the work of Miss Van, Kenny Scharf, Olek, Shepard Fairy, Ron English, Vhils and others, a copious amount of murals pop up on the surrounding blocks. We spotted Nychos's dissected creatures, rainbow-hued photorealist portraits by Kobra, a huge piece by Herakut, the monochromatic, mischievous characters of The London Police and much more. Take a look at some street art highlights after the jump.

Ever want to sleep at a museum? Neither did we, until we went to 21c. We recently stayed at the 21c Art Museum Hotel in St.Louis as well as the 21c in Bentonville, Arkansas and had the best time. 21c locations combine actual contemporary art museum gallery exhibitions which are free and open to the general public.

Gil Bruvel’s work seems to be both modern and craft movement inspired at the same time. They are made of hundreds of parts; intricate, yet, when those parts are viewed from a distance, are smooth and cohesive. We’ve asked the artist to delve into his process and themes and a bit of his background as an artist. Click the image above to read our Hi-Fructose exclusive with the artist
