BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY
We talked to the Italian painter Barlo back in June when he was upside down in his current hometown of Hong Kong and now we see he is in Shenzhen with Ceet and the newly created Jardin Orange Art Residency.

His two-story headless figure drew plenty of stares as he hand painted for two days in a rapidly developing neighborhood full of new construction.
“For me it was a chance to continue my recent exploration regarding Chinese patterns and traditional objects but most importantly to try to paint completely freestyle using only an extension pole,” he tells us. “Surely the influence of some Taoist readings I have been doing lately is quite evident – both in the subject and in the choice of going freestyle with a technique that doesn’t allow a high level of detail.”

Check out this video of Barlo in the Bronx recently with TAG Public Arts Project Inc. (SinXero Art and his wife Skyra) to get an idea how he works.
If you are in New York you can also check out CEET at Wallworks December 10th in the Bronx! You don’t want to miss it.
