BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY
“I went back to monochromatic pieces after a long time,” says Street Artist Peeta about his new anamorphic mural in Gainseville, Florida.

Working in the context of the building here in West University Avenue, Peeta also playfully incorporates the existing windows into his mural.

He extruded windows and used the natural color of the building creating a tone-on-tone sculptural effect”
