Hoboken-Based Artist Raisa Nosova Fights Invasion of Ukraine with Paint Brushes on the Streets of Jersey City

Image
Hoboken-based artist Raisa Nosova was two months pregnant when Russia bombed Kiev. With close family and friends in Ukraine, she felt overwhelmed with anguish at a particularly vulnerable time in her life. Eager to assist the victims of the horrific war, she set up a page on her website featuring original ART FOR UKRAINE . All of the proceeds from the sale of her paintings “went directly to the battlefield delivering medicine and food to trapped Ukrainians.” But driven by anger and pain, she was determined to do more to raise money and to raise awareness of the Ukrainian people’s precarious plight. After speaking to a Ukrainian family who owned a gas station near Journal Square in Jersey City, she began bringing her vision to the public with a large-scale mural, “Uprooted.” The image pictured above features Raisa Nosova at work on “Uprooted.” Several more images shared by the artist follow: Corner view of  the completed mural  Detail Raisa Nosova at work on small segment of

Invader Rubikcubist Exhibition, MIMA Museum Brussels 2022

Image
MIMA, the Millennium Iconoclast Museum of Art in Brussels, hosts  Invader Rubikcubist ,  a solo exhibition by Invader.  Invader  is the pseudonym of the anonymous, world-famous French urban artist whose majority of his work is modelled on the crude pixellation of the 1970s-1980s 8-bit video games. He took his name from the 1978  arcade game Space Invaders , and much of his work is composed of square ceramic tiles inspired by video game characters. His distinctive 4056 creations (to date) can be seen in many highly visible locations in more than 80 cities worldwide. Invader continued pixel art representation that he had begun with the mosaic by reworking the famous six-coloured popular Rubik’s cube puzzle into a 3D medium for paintings and sculptures. In 2003 Invader explored the link between pixel mosaics and the 1980s famous toy, and by 2005 the term Rubikcubism, which the artist invented, was born! RUBIKCUBISM [roo-bic-kyoo-biz-uhm] (noun) : An art style and

Active since: I’ve been tattooing for over 18 years now, specialising in lettering and the dark lettering tattoo. I am currently working at Sacred Gold Tattoo in London, Kings Cross.

Favorite piece: I painted in Allen Gardens, Brick Lane, London, which is my favourite spot. I tried out a new colour scheme and letter style and was painting with some great people. In 2020 I attended the London mural Festival, which was such an amazing day to mix with different artists and see the am

During the first wave of the pandemic, several artists — largely working separately as they painted images onto plywood — joined forces to form the Soho Renaissance Factory . A diverse selection of these original works were salvaged and are on view through Tuesday, June 28 at ChaShaMa in Union Square. The exhibition, Beautiful Barriers: Street Art Beyond Walls, also features varied customized products including apparel, accessories, and skateboards in partnership with CocoRedoux. And joining the members of the Soho Renaissance Factory are guest artists Eyeantic ,  OPTIMONYC ,  Vanessa Kreytak , and  0H10M1ke .

Løkka-Lykke Street Art Festival returns to Oslo, 2022

Image
Held in the central district of Grünerløkka, Løkka-Lykke announced itself on the street art scene in 2021 with eleven artists producing site-specific works ranging from large-scale murals to small-scale interventions. Among this year’s invited artists are Finnish duo Anetta Lukjanova and Taneli Stenberg, local graffiti legend Awat Serdashti, and Oslo-based up-and-coming painter Eva Hansen Sjøvold, who will paint the first LGBTQ+ mural in Norway. Also participating is local artist Charlotte Nordlund – whose artwork will mark 50 years since the decriminalization of homosexuality in Norway – and Ukrainian artist SLAM, who arrived in Norway just a few months ago. In addition, everyone from first-time painters to some of the city’s most respected graffiti artists are invited to experiment on centrally-located, temporary cellograffiti walls designed to highlight the need for more spaces for graffiti and street art in the city. Curious audience members can get an introduction

‘WELCOME’ The latest mural by Spanish Artist PEJAC for NUART Aberdeen, Scotland 2022

Image
Spanish artist  PEJAC  has just completed his latest intervention for this year’s Nuart Aberdeen Festival, which took place between the 9th and the 12th of June. This is the artist’s second invitation by Nuart, and this year PEJAC played with the festival’s theme of reconnecting the city and its people. PEJAC chose the entrance of a building in the very centre of the city of Aberdeen, Scotland, for his outdoor project ‘WELCOME’. The property was specifically chosen because it hosts many charities and homes for vulnerable residents facing social exclusion. Pejac’s idea was to bring a doormat to the entrance that read ‘WELCOME’. In PEJAC’s style, you need to look closer to find the multitude of tiny figures that make up this doormat. The tiny figures come together to stand for every aspect of the WELCOME concept, the meaning of which has been increasingly hard to find recently. The message is one of dignity and understanding. Those who have been pushed to the margi

EVERYTHING ABOUT EDWARD NIGHTINGALE’S LATEST BOOK

Image
Text by Alberto F. (English translation by Mark Dix) Following up from the sold-out "You Can't Always Win", the latest publication by renowned photographer Edward Nightingale is dedicated to Berlin subway graffiti, specifically to the recent history of the DRM group. MTN World has been lucky enough to get its hands on an advance copy which we break down in this review. This book is available at Montana Shop Barcelona , ​​ Madrid. First of all, a quick introduction to the main names that feature in the publication. Edward Nightingale is possibly the best photographer of graffiti on trains today, a field of photography that was established when Alex Fakso published "Heavy Metal" in 2006. The expertise and sensitivity of Nightingale have made him an eminence in the field, thanks to his intense and incessant output that has led him to participate in projects with famous names in international train writing such as Taps and Moses. In the 1990s, the DRM c
