Here are some photos of street art that I took while wandering around various parts of the city.
From the Condesa neighborhood...
In Santa María la Ribera...
In San Pedro de los Pinos, just a short walk from the apartment, Alejandro and I discovered this really cool shop that sell organic products. They are painting the entire facade (the side to the left is not finished yet) with a mural which features the flora and fauna of Mexico.
(I didn't have my camera with me, so these two were taken with Alejandro's cell phone.)
These were on the exterior wall of a school in Roma Norte...
Sometimes the street art is on wheels, as seen on this moving truck with a rather bizarre and risqué painting.
Another mural in Roma Norte. By its style it looks as if it might be by the same artist that did two of the paintings above.
Graffiti is a blight, but it is especially distressing when some idiot barbarian vandalizes someone's work of art. The artist is trying to remove the graffiti from his mural.
I love street art, which I've seen in almost every country I've visited. I hope always that when the paint begins to chip or fade, the mural will be restored.
ReplyDeleteUNfortunately, I am seeing more and more of it defaced with graffiti.
