At Bright Walls in Jackson, Michigan: Pref, Ricky Watts, Insane 51, Ledania, Joey Salamon, Bikismo and My Dog Sighs

A public art and mural festival founded and run by volunteer members of the Jackson Young Professionals, Bright Walls has brought more than 70 vibrantly intriguing murals to Jackson’s downtown district within the past four years. The remarkable image pictured above — spelling out “REMARKABLE” in reference to Jackson — was painted by the masterly artist Pref, who defines his aesthetic as “Post typography.” It was captured last month at this year’s Bright Walls by travel and street photographer Karin du Maire aka Street Art Nomad, as were the following images:

Today, this type of graffiti is gaining some proponents in Europe. To investigate the current development of vertical graffiti on the old continent and the different forms it takes, we’ve interviewed three of the most representative writers, from Berlin to Marseille and Valencia, namely Ikarus, Crapule and Wins. WINS AKA “VERTICAL DESTROYER” Nicknamed the vertical destroyer, the Valencian writer Wins could be considered a pioneer in t...

The Artistic Vision of Ed Hick: A Journey from Darkness to Light

At the 10th edition of Waterford Walls in Ireland, English street artist Ed Hicks unveiled a striking untitled piece that captured the attention of festival-goers and locals alike. His mural, painted in one of the neighborhoods of Waterford, offers a visual and philosophical journey that resonates deeply with both the space it occupies and the viewers it engages.
