Enormous Halftone “Stencil Poster” Murals by Sten & Lex

The Italian street art duo known as Sten & Lex have a unique style - the product of a peculiar hybrid process. The duo combine stencil art and poster work to create their enormous murals.  Using a halftone style like that of black and white newsprint photographs they apply huge poster murals to a structure.  Then the team cuts away long strips to reveal a portrait.  Sten & Lex's murals are interestingly allowed to slowly disintegrate creating an ever changing work of art.  The strips slowly peel off the wall waving in the wind like party streamers. See more Sten & Lex murals after the jump.
