Eron’s Murals Offer History, Atypical ‘Texture’

Muralist Eron crafts enormous works that bring both atypical textures and historical context to the structures. One recent piece by the artist (below) “is dedicated to the history of the village and to the destructive fire that was deliberately set in retaliation for italian partisan activities on 3 July, 1944,” the artist shared on Instagram. “The fire destroyed most of the houses.”

Eron has a knack for crafting ghostly figures inside and outside of spaces. The artist, often using the motif of avian species, creates illusions of creatures traveling in and out of buildings. Otherwise, he’s able to provide an “embossed” texture to the piece “Gru vs Gru” on one building, while also giving the impression of an entirely different building material on another (below), maintaining the theme of using birds.

(A collaboration with Celeste Byers) Aaron Glasson’s murals, though surreal and vibrant in an otherworldly sense, are firmly grounded in reality, often depicting real people and their personal journeys. The artist, born in New Zealand and living in the U.S., crafts murals across the world, in addition to work in illustration and gallery paintings. He cites his themes as “relationship to the natural environment, community empowerment and education, indigenous knowledge, the subconscious, and the unseen.” Several of his recent murals are collaborations with artist Celeste Byers.

Inyoung Seoung's work draws parallels between humankind and nature. She considers people to be in a perpetual state of growth, reaching up and moving forward like trees to light. The Korea-born, Southern California-based artist one day found herself admiring her own backyard, where she was impressed by the fact that no two trees were alike, and that they contain an infinite supply of design that she emulates in her drawings and installations.

Expressionistic Street Art by Borondo

A far cry from the tight, linear style of graffiti, Borondo's murals utilize sweeping, expressive brushstrokes that demonstrate little restraint. The artist is unafraid of dripping paint, thickly slabbing earth tone hues on walls for his contemplative portraiture. Based in Spain, Borondo recently painted a string of murals in London. "Narcissus," put up on the edge of a canal, cleverly makes use of the wall's reflection in the water. Narcissus, after all, was the young man who couldn't get enough of his own image. "Cheese" (pictured above) offers a political commentary, whether one takes the shackles as a metaphor or a literal allusion to events in recent history. Photographer and filmmaker Fabiano Caputo followed Borondo's journey through the British capital and captured his murals in several time lapse videos in addition to the photos. Check them out after the jump.
