Miami Art Week 2015: Street Art Highlights from Wynwood

There was no escaping the madness that was Miami Art Week. While collectors and art fans alike were inside taking in all of the fairs and staying dry, more street artists than ever before descended upon the Wynwood area to leave their mark. Heavy rains and wind posed a challenge for most, but that could not keep artists like D*Face, Twoone, Nychos, Tristan Eaton, Boxhead, 1010, Caratoes, and countless others from killing several large-scale walls and collaborations. Among our favorite projects this year included the “Sea Walls: Murals for Oceans- Art Basel Miami” series, an entire block curated by Urban Nation and PangeaSeed Foundation, where murals by artists like James Bullough, Jason Botkin, NEVERCREW, Li-Hill, and Aaron Glasson addressed issues of climate on the world’s oceans. Another highlight was the all-female “Wander & Wayfare” wall, a collaboration between 7 female artists, which started as an idea by Hueman and was co-organized by Rocha Arts. Not far away, the Wynwood Walls complex was given a makeover as the Wynwood Walls Garden, which debuted with a special celebration featuring murals by 14 international artists including INTI, Alexis Diaz, Logan Hicks, The London Police, Miss Van, and a flowery installation by FAFI. Check out more of our street art highlights from Wynwood below.

Hailing from the outskirts of Sao Paulo, Brazil, L7M began making art as a child. Spray paint, his preferred medium for street art, entered his life at the age of 13, and he quickly became proficient in it while also experimenting with china ink, latex, pastel, and acrylic. Currently, L7M spends his time traveling the world to paint murals that feature birds fractured into a flurry of colors and abstract shapes. Neon colors dominate his compositions, with varied styles of paint strokes that add depth to the abstract color fields. Recently, L7M traveled around Europe to put up new pieces. Take a look at his new street work as well as a few paintings from his studio below.

Brooklyn based artist Ray Bartkus has toyed with the idea of reflections in his paintings, drawings and street art work, but not quite like this. When he was invited to paint a building along Šešupė River in Marijampole, Lithuania, the idea to paint it upside down was undeniable. "I never did anything with the reflection in the river before, but since the building was next to it, it was kind of an obvious thing to consider," he says.
