Barcelona Street Art may have been booted from many streets a few years ago during a period of commercial fueled gentrification but that organic scene sparked a generation of talents who continue to transform abandoned spots nevertheless. We continue to see fully executed pieces from this area of Spain that are highly imaginative and technically tight, like these dark characters from graffiti writer DavidL.

In an abandoned restaurant 40 miles outside BCN artist DavidL has created a menagerie of wicked characters, all from his fantastical cogitations and frequently inspired by comics and cinema. A recent post with images by Fer Acala focused on the aerosol painters’ famous people and/or characters.
In these new images by LluÍs Olivé Bulbena we see another breed of characters from this versatile artist – perhaps taking inspiration from the spirits who are still inhabiting this former house and restaurant.
The dishes, however, are less than appetizing..
