BR1’s project focuses on the representation of Muslim women and their social condition. The artist says, “I made a deep research and I discovered that I am the only artist in the street art movement that deals entirely with this topic. Isn’t it strange? In general, the woman is the best source of inspiration for artists, why Muslim women wouldn’t be the same?” The Muslim women are represented in daily life situations, and each is drawn and colored freehand. They are taken from actual images from the media and put out on the street, creating a higher visibility. www.flickr.com/br1art 21 May 2010 / 2 Comments Paul Lung It’s hard to believe that you are not looking at a photograph above but rather a pencil drawing of Paul Lung. Paul Lung is a 38 year old graphic artist from Hong Kong. Paul Lung only makes use of a 0.5 mm technical pencil and A2 paper to create these masterpieces. He doesn’t use an eraser and spends up to 60 hours sketching out a single picture. www.paullung.com 25 May 2010 / 3 Comments
