Haroshi uses old skateboards to create these statuettes called “Gunzos”. Now this is what I call up-cycling

Art Basel and skateboarding might not have much in common. But in Miami Beach, these seemingly distant worlds will meet, thanks to self-taught Japanese artist Haroshi. Haroshi uses discarded skateboards to produce sculptures that address materialism and spirituality, but also pay homage to a passion shared by millions. His pieces will be exhibited by Tokyo gallery Nanzuka, one of the 29 participants in this year’s Nova sector, which focuses on recent work by a fascinating array of artists. text via artbasel.com

The design refers to ideas such as (re)birth and fertility.

Murals by Okuda replace "The Wave" 🌊 by the mysterious 1010 in the Design District

Rag and Bone always does this, they change their artwork every once in a while. It is always sad to see a wall go. That is the thing with street art, that in a way it will always be temporary. Either by replacement, teardown or simply by wear-down

One of the things I enjoy about Wynwood is that art isn't confined to a gallery. You find it on restaurants, commercial buildings, side streets, and unexpected corners. This mural by Julien "Seth" Malland covered the façade of Wynwood Kitchen & Bar and became part of the neighborhood's constantly changing visual landscape.

Cloe Hakakian brings more faces to Wynwood *sponsorfed by Montana-Cans

One of the reasons Wynwood has become such an important destination for public art is that artists aren’t limited by the dimensions of a canvas. Entire buildings are becoming the artwork. Public art in Wynwood extends far beyond aesthetics. Murals bring color, personality, and a sense of place to buildings that might otherwise go unnoticed. As more artists contribute to the neighborhood, the streets themselves become part of the experience, attracting visitors, photographers, businesses, and continued investment.
