Street Art

This shot of the Torres Cuatro and the recent street art at Chamartin Station was taken immediately after the completion of the artwork withing the allotted time frame. Some of the artwork was left unfinished. The scaffolding frames which allowed them to do the work is still here. It had gone two days later. I guess the Council loaned them the scaffolding over one weekend only so that it didn't interfere with normal council work!

Seen before but from a different position.

Not just style parted by fence, street art topped by the tops of four towers.

Technically more than competent.

Kate seems to star a fair bit, whether as the artist or as a dedicatee, I know not! More from the car park at Chamartin station, Madrid.

I think the graffiti and vegetation go well together here. Next time I pass by, only the graffiti will remain, I suspect!

Again probably unfinished but I like it as it is!

Even though it's a bit OTT, I like its exuberance!

Again from the same area in Chamartin, Madrid as the others. There will be more.

The whole area between here and these 4 towers has been an 'on and off - mainly off - project' for many years to build many more such towers - I read 5 more, then 13 more and then 137 more (OK I exaggerate here!). I think envy of La Defense in Paris runs deep. They can't make up their minds. I think the street art might stay here for years!

More from Chamartin Station car park area, Madrid.

Graffiti (authorised) on the walls around Chamartin Station car park. Near the Cuatro Torres Business Park, where I take many classes. The station shop mini-mall must have contributed to the costs of employing well known street artists and they were able to have a plug for the station shopping mall included here!

As an English teacher and interested generally in such things, I am always amused at the predominant use of English (OK, American English), rather that the vernacular. To my mind it would have given greater authenticity and authority if it had been in Spanish.

I showed this before but it is worth a more detailed expose. The street artist, whomsoever she or he is, gets the thoombs oop from me! This is my favourite of very many excellent street art exhibits on the site of Chamartin Station's car park - to be demolished sooner or later. This will therefore be transient but I will enjoy it while it lasts.

I had a class cancellation today so was left in limbo for an hour or so. As I had to pass through here anyway I remembered these recent murals and so took time to record a few. I will post more over the next few days and weeks.

New council sponsored murals (certainly less than a week old) on walls near Madrid's Chamartin station.

The sculpture: "A LA DIVERSIDAD HUMANA" Sculpture by Josep Capella and Clara Capo.
