AMAZING ANIMATED STREET ART: BLU'S MUTO
March 25th 2009 07:52
Arresting enough when in its static form, the street art of Blu becomes truly staggering when carefully animated over seven minutes.
It seems that acclaimed Italian street artist Blu is constantly busy labouring over the surreal artworks that he presents in public places. Blu creates two-dimensional pieces across urban landscapes that are massive in scale and often unnerving in their otherworldly depictions. The genius of Blu is that while his works are legalised, he tackles subversive issues well beyond the normal realms of graffiti. The results are arresting to say the least and sometimes nightmare worthy in their stark, twisted beauty.
Recently, Blu has begun to take his sublime work a step further through the careful animation of his street art. The latest result is MUTO, a jaw-dropping, ambiguous animation that is remarkable for the detail on display and the planning that must have taken place behind the scenes. Rendered on the walls of Buenos Aires, Argentina and Baden, Germany, MUTO’s characters crawl, walk and transubstantiate along the walls of the two cities, creating a dream state atmosphere that will have the viewer transfixed for its seven minute running time.
