Blu

As is the case with most contemporary graffiti artists, the Italian born “Blu” remains just out of the public eye while his monumental designs dwell in it. Ever elusive, Blu prefers anonymity as he leaves his mark all over the world. Active since 1999, he has covered the walls of buildings from Berlin to Peru to Los Angeles. However to refer to Blu strictly as a graffiti artist would be a grave misinterpretation of his work. Although he does has a long list of wall commissions in several countries, Blu is best known for his incorporation of his signature massive paintings with stop-motion animation. These animations are several minutes long, with each frame commanding an astonishing amount of adjustment and effort. The sheer size of his compositions are baffling, and those with any inkling of the work necessary to achieve just a single frame of his sometimes ten-minute long videos appreciate even more the labor required of this artist.
