Boa Mistura or “Good Mixture” is made up of five Spanish artists, Arkoh, Derko, Pahg, Purone and Rdick, who have developed their work in different fields including graffiti and mural painting, to graphic design and illustration. Collectively, they meld their talents together for various endeavors like this recent Participative Urban Art project in Vila Brâsilandia, one of the favelas in São Paulo. The intervention, with its 3D illusionary effect, focuses on “vecos” and “vielas” – winding streets that form as connections for the internal life of the community.
Sean Hopp. Bitter Fuel, 2011. Oil on canvas.
Sean Hopp’s paintings depict a parallel world where distorted figures are engaged with a series of internal rituals and transformations. By suggesting both epiphany and breakdown, the images create a paradox as a space for the contemplation of modern isolation and neurosis. They can be seen as portraits of the psychic angels, demons, and ghosts of the 21st century.
