Seth Globepainter in Ravine-Sèche
French street artist Seth Globepainter is traveling the world and using the streets as his canvas, incorporating local symbols and subjects from the surroundings. The artist visited Ravine-Sèche, Haïti to create another childhood-inspired intervention. Titled Camsize and friend, the mural depicts a little girl looking at another one through a whole in a wall.
Johannes Mundinger in Yeoju
The German artist Johannes Mundinger is best known for his murals, full of site-specific elements. The artist painted two new walls during his stay as artist in residence at Yeobaek Seowon, the “House of Books”, in Yeoju, South Korea. Located on the facade of the dormitory of the alternative Neulpureun School, these abstract walls are directed towards the residents of the building. The one titled Shadow plays with the allegory of Plato’s cave, while Stage depicts a frame, a base of knowledge and experience, that will be filled through ones own development during life. Both of the walls are realized with the help of two young artists, Duru and Han Gul.
BLU in Rome
Recognized for his distinct style and epic scale murals, BLU has been painting all over the world guided by ethical beliefs, and social and political aspects of the location. He recently completed another amazing mural in Rome’s district Quarticciolo, featuring a modern interpretation of the statues of Venus de Milo and Michelangelo’s David. Portraying Venus with a gold chain, designer handbag and a toy poodle and David with a blingy wristwatch and golden Hogan trainers, BLU tackles themes of ostentation and narcissism.
The Crystal Ship in Oostende
The latest edition of The Crystal Ship Festival enriched the city of Oostende, Belgium with some amazing street art, adding to 50 permanent public artworks which resulted from three previous editions.

Among them was Hell’O Collective, who adorned their silo with their complex and ambiguous graphic vocabulary.
Fintan Magee in Barraba
The renowned Australian street artist Fintan Magee recently traveled to Barraba, Australia to develop an amazing silo art project. With a goal to give more visibility to this small town, the artist created a massive mural titled The Water Diviner. The mural depicts three male figures, and, as the title suggests, deals with the theme of water divining.
Pastel in Rosario
Using symbolism and nature, the Argentinian artist Pastel explores issues surrounding the man’s relationship to nature and its surroundings, the existential, real, pure and tragic. The artist recently visited Festival Triangulo in Rosario, Santa Fé, Argentina to create a stunning new wall. The piece features his distinct flora motifs in muted colors.
NeSpoon in Favara
Working between street art, pottery, paintings, sculpture and jewelry, the Polish artist NeSpoon is on a mission to embroider the world, enriching the already diverse urban art with her own unique brand of lace art.
