ILO streetart for mankind Murals the last one in Progress
ILO streetart for mankind Murals the last one in Progress
As I have mentioned in these previous posts
A mural in the making here
Clandestinos Mural in the making here
Four Completed murals here
and this post features some progress shots of the fifth in the series, but before i get tot he photos I should explain the concept behind this project since some did ask
From the Streteart for mankind website
The International Labour Organization (ILO) was established 100 years ago, after the First World War, on the understanding that universal and lasting peace would not be achieved without social justice.
To commemorate this historic occasion, the ILO is collaborating with Street Art for Mankind to curate multiple street art murals around the United Nations Headquarters representing images related to decent work.
This is the fifth one in the series which was recently finished but I haven't had a nice day since it finished to get shots of it yet, but I can share some shots of it in progress.
Starting with this shot which gives a sense of how big a piece it is, it is hard to get good shots of the full piece because of its location this is about the best angle I can get.

Incase you are wondering how the artists get sup to pint it heere is a shot of the cherry picker he is using to work on one of the flower sin the piece.

I have to admit at the stage of the shot above I was not so taken with this piece as I was with some of the others, but then he started to add some details
And here is the artist adding the eyelashes to one of the eyes

Then he started addign some detail in more areas of the piece, including the eye I show below and I started to become intrigued with this piece

And here he is working above the other eye and you can see he switched from the Cherry picked to one of this Hydraulic platforms I am not sure what they are actually called

Now as I have said the piece is finished and soon I will get shots to share, but let me say its worth waiting to see, the detail in some of this piece is brilliant.
unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.

Oh, another wonderful street art mural. I don't even consider these street art anymore because of their artistic element and powerful message, their beauty notwithstanding... it just cannot be considered this. We must find another name for it.
Although, as you know, I have always been a fan of graffiti!
This wall is so stunning, I am truly taken with it. The fact that it is flowers, humanized and so very tall, it plays to the strength of the building. It owns the building! Thank you for taking the time to seek out these wonderful pieces of eye candy.
They are my favorites!
Those pieces of machinery are called elevating work platform.

The finished piece is amazing with some of the detail, but I do understand what you mean calling it street art does make some people look down on it, and to me this is Art, maybe it just doesn't need the Street word added before it, or perhaps we could call it urban mural art
I think I read somewhere with the flowers this is one of the biggest murals in the city at the moment
thanks for the name of the platform, it makes sense I should have guessed that
thanks for the tip :)
I believe it!! The size of that is staggering. I look forward to seeing the finished piece!
There seems to be no end to murals there in the city!
It is amazing to see and yes there seems to always be new murals going up in the city I loved seeing this one in progress

Want to have your post on the map too?
How unusual... I did not expect plants and flowers above those eyes...
They look refreshing though, and I love daisies! :) Well,daisy-like flowers anyway...
Yeah I wasnt expecting that either, and when I got some shots of it finished today , I discovered cool details in the flowers as well :)
I will be back at your page to check out the completed version! :)
I am so far behind in editing my photos do it may be a little while before I get to it
No worries... I will be back! :)
I seem to be the only one who edits only when I want to post.... I tend to go with my mood at posting time, then choose a pic, edit and figure out the "story" to go with it at the same time!
I can’t really do that I do my posts at regular time each day and like the time I do my morning post I am generally walking to work and post on my phone as I walk so I normally plan ahead and have my post prepared at least the night before
Which is funny with so many other things I wing it but with this I plan ahead
Yeah, I just realised, I do wing it for these posts... Interesting! :)
you do well with the winging it keep doing it :)
Some big project.. I wonder if the artist takes a long view from time to time to check his work?
I can say yes he does I have seen him doing just that standing across from it and looking at it
