Norwegian curator, producer, social activist, and street artist VLEK aka Arne Vilhelm Tellefsen, has joined the street chorus in the west that vilifies Vladimir Putin in myriad ways. His new stencil in Stavanger, home of the NuArt Festival, takes the symbol of the Russian Matryoshka Doll or nesting doll to a public-facing wall to illustrate his idea of the Russian leader who has directed the military to invade Ukraine.
In this progression of unveiling what he imagines is inside the man, VLEK posits that there is a hand grenade at the very center. He calls his piece “Deep with the soul.”
