Random stuff and some vandals. Porto.

in StreetArt5 days ago

A collection from across the city, although in my opinion Porto is a preferable place to me rather than Lisbon. The street art was not as good, but ho hum... here we go.

Guate Mao is a French stencil artist whose works apparently can be found across a number of european cities. Usually portraits of ethnic people.

I am sure there is a message in there somewhere but it is lost on me.

I am an artist based in Porto. I love to explore emotion through rhythm, movement and energetic lines. My work is usually made on paper/digital, canvas and walls.

As part of an initiative called, “500 anos da Rua das Flores” to brighten up some electricity boxes a number of artists applied and won the challenge.

Now would not the world be a more colourful place if all city corporations were just as forward looking

Oh, the vandals destroying the street artwork? 😱

There was a phrase written in my home town on one wall, so many years ago: You painted the wall for nothing.

The owner used to paint over it, but then the graffiti continuously kept appearing there over and over again, always the same 😂

yes the vandals of the municipal govt. LOL

Love your anecdote, my kind of humour, I can visualise that and chuckle away with you 🤣

Some dated still carry flare in portrait in first wonder who he was? Slava Ukraini actually a nice touch, is it a seal or dog...., last berriblue tiles a story surely unfolds out of this dated 2022, not so old.

!BEER

I know not who he is, but its a well worn piece, time has started to wear it away, I thought it was a seal. I like the dark mind of berriblue

Seal would have been my first thought, dark mood tiles over dark period in time...

we shall agree on a weird looking seal lol

Yup! Have a great day....

Very cool selection of StreetArt. It brings back memories of when I visited the city a few years ago. Porto is full of StreetArt. And even if vandals do manage to remove some from time to time 😅 Thanks for sharing these pics on The StreetArt Community.

Have a great weekend

At Frik Point they should change the door. It looks like a notebook. That's why they write it that way.... something of a different texture is sure to attract cooler art.
