Blog 9, Street Art: CHILEAN STREET ART AROUND THE WORLD: COLOSSAL MURALS BY INTI

Inti was born in Valparaiso, Chile in 1982.  He is a muralist who studied at Fine Arts School of Viña del Mar.  Since age 15, Inti has been interested with street art, especially graffiti.  At first, his art won a space on the streets and buildings of Valparaiso.  Now you can find his work all over the world.  Even in the most unique places such as Lebanon, Norway, Bolivia, Poland, Puerto Rico, France, Canada, and so many more.  The list continues to grow as he constantly travels.

I chose this artist because ever since meeting of of my greatest friends, I have developed an interest in street art.  I have also always been very interested in massive art pieces.  The sheer size of Inti's artwork intrigued me.  The only real thing that I was thinking when I saw the images of his work was, "How the heck?!  That must have taken so much spray paint!"

    It's cool that this artist has a distinct character style and uses it repeatedly. These paintings are very visually stimulating and remind me of mid 2000s CGI cartoons.

    I like how these artworks feel like they are jumping out at you. I love how the artist can get such detail in such a large scale, and overall just really like the composition of the works. I also really love street art and I think these are a really cool and unique style.

    I like the use of contrasting/complementary colors, like the purple and the bright yellow and orange! The 5th piece is my favorite piece! The contrast really made the work pop and come to life.

    I kind of like the work pieces you have shared. I think there will be a lot of political message behind his work, and I would love to find them out. Anyway, thanks for sharing those great idea and information. Nice job.

    These are so cool! These works are larger than life and full of detail, giving the viewer a lot to take in. The first and last ones are some of my favorites because of the use of skulls as the subject matter as well as the color schemes.

    The street art is pretty cool, and his work is very personal style. I like this spooky and pop feel, and oversize work also is pretty cool for me

Diptychs and Triptychs

Image
A diptych was originally two paintings that were hinged together.  These were often of religious origins.  When a triptych is applied to photography is when three images are displayed in one photo, or three separately framed images presented very closely together.  This diptych uses variety.  There are a variety of different colors and the I like the rhythm that it has. This triptych has a good example of contrast.  There is contrast between all the different colors.  The colors make each other stand out, and pleases the eye.
