Overunder with Flying Metal Gates in Cleveland for “Zoetic Walls”

Overunder with Flying Metal Gates in Cleveland for “Zoetic Walls”

May 8, 2014

OverUnder is swinging through Cleveland with his flying pull down gates, upside downy paper birds, bolts of bending flat energy, and circling blue DNA balls of cytosine. The visual dictionary that OU consults regularly for his street symbols varies and grows but often it pops with these metal gates that you’ll find throughout commercial strip malls and city streets after business closes.

For him they are a magnet – and his dream state must be swirling with these ubiquitous rolling metal gates that seem to invite some artists and writers to hit them up with tags and throwies and scraps of poetry and other little bits of mark-making. Ironically perhaps, the same metal gates have also been used to protect Banksy pieces. By recreating them with their original art or markings, he is preserving them and copying that piece of urban visual language into another neighborhood, even another city.

These new walls are part of Zoetic Walls – a project that Pawn Works has been intermittently and quietly facilitating for muralists around forgotten areas of Cleveland for a little over a year. “We have had the honor of curating our own little world of murals free of hype, thus far,” says Nick Marzullo of Pawn Works.

“We have started our 2014 Cleveland work with OverUnder. By leaving the existing brick to be used as the fill for his iconic paper birds, OverUnder created this high concept piece in Cleveland’s Historic Ohio City neighborhood,” he says.

LNY, Gaia, Nanook and RAE in Cleveland for Zoetic Walls

New stuff from Cleveland today gives us a look at a project in the Waterloo District called Zoetic Walls that includes Street Artists LNY, Nanook, RAE and Gaia.

“You are doing awesome stuff for our neighborhood – keep it up!” says Cleveland resident, Linda Zolten Wood on the Zoetic Walls Facebook page.

Organizer Nick Marzullo explains the new piece by Nanook that is firmly rooted in local history and politics.

“Nanook worked closely with the neighborhood on the development of his piece depicting a portrait of Carl Stokes, the former Cleveland Mayor and first Black mayor of any major city in US,” says Nick. Other symbols include the hand of city planning practitioner Norman Krumholz as he guides a car along a modernized highway system, something Krumholz is credited with bringing through the City of Cleveland.

Gaia’s barbershop pieces came out great and Mike from the barbershop is pretty psyched for the facelift in an old-skool airbrush style. Now if they can just fix that canopy, the 10th anniversary of Mike n Syd’s will be officially slammin’!

GAIA In Cleveland, Landscapes and Coalmines

July 6, 2013

“Straight up, this is too thoughtful and too amazing, we are speechless,” says Nick Marzullo of Pawn Works as he looks at this newly aerosoled wall by Gaia in Cleveland.

The large hand holds a gilded framed painting as if it is a snapshot, superimposing his ode to Yosemite Valley, the 1866 painting by German/American landscape painter Albert Bierstadt, over a 1952 coal mining scene called The Early Shift by celebrated Cleveland native realist Carl Gaertner.  The New York Street Artist continues to explore and incorporate cultural touchstones as he is influenced by them, leaving large pages from his travelogue sketchbook on walls in cities he visits.

This new piece is a part of a larger curated show but even on his unpermissioned walls Gaia takes you on his trip, conveying the truths and history and meanings he is uncovering, then uniquely recombining their elements to contrast their relative meanings and test their strength perhaps.  This new wall may be interpreted as commentary on the 19th/20th century industrialization of the country that once boasted breathtaking natural beauty idealized by painters. Undoubtedly the Gen Y Gaia also may have in mind the fracking industry in this day that threatens to destroy even more of the beauty and natural resources for his generation and the next.

Gaia appears here at “Zoetic Walls” in conjunction with Arts Collingwood and curated by Pawn Works, who will be showing us more from their new Midwest project as it evolves in Cleveland, Chicago, and even parts of Wisconsin.
