I just realized it’s been some time since I posted a stencil graffiti, so I thought I have to remedy this situation. I think the image speaks for itself, no need to explain anything 
I took this photo in the Old Center.
Joking bitterly about the flu pandemics of the last few years. I found this stencil in the Old Town, on Nicolae Tonitza Street.
I’m not sure what the idea is here, maybe some sort of role playing. But is it Woody that plays Mona Lisa or the other way around? I think it looks interesting nevertheless.
Apparently there’s a simple explanation for the fact that this building on Lipscani St. is in danger of collapsing. See below.
I guess you know by now that I like graffiti, since I’ve posting many examples of street art on this blog. I don’t like all of it, in general I like it if it’s witty or it has some sort of message, be it cultural, social or political. But in case of today’s example I have no idea what the street artist was trying to express here. I can say that I like its colors and that these look to me like some sort of hostile aliens. What do you think the artist was trying to say?
After talking about serious subjects for the last few days I thought that it’s time for something lighter: two cute stencil graffiti I found in the Old Town.
I haven’t posted a stencil graffiti in a long while and thought it was time to remedy that. The one in today’s photograph seems to tell the citizens of Bucharest to get moving. And I agree with it, Bucharest definitely needs more of these – bicyclists not graffiti.
Sorry for the late posting. I was busy debating the values of capitalism with my friends (you know who you are). That’s because of the new Michael Moore movie, “Capitalism, a love story”, which none of us has seen yet, but about which we read in the press to be a critical look at the American capitalism as it’s practiced today. As people who lived in both communism and capitalist societies we have our own (strong) opinions regarding this subject, and the discussion went on and on … And since we’re talking about values, I found this simple graffiti in an entrance to the inner garden of bloc Dunărea, at University Square, across from the graffiti of the jester which I already posted. I am curious what is your opinion about the message of the graffiti. My interpretation of it is that we should be careful about the values we teach to our children. We live in a material world, to quote Madonna, but that is of our own creation. What do you think? Or maybe I’m just reading too much into it and the graffiti it’s just showing a guy giving a presentation on the financial crisis
M-City is an very detailed stencil series created by the Polish artist Mariusz Waras. The main subject of his murals is the city landscape. His works can be seen in many cities including Warsaw, Berlin, Paris, Budapest, Rio de Janeiro, London, Prague and, as you probably already guessed, Bucharest. Waras was invited to Bucharest by the Polish Cultural Center for the “Night of the Cultural Centers”. On this occasion he made two murals, one at the Polish Center (which I didn’t see yet) and the one in today’s photo at the Writer’s Union on Calea Victoriei. His murals are formed from about 100 individual components, representing buildings, infrastructure elements, people etc. which are always placed in a different combination creating a unique mural. You can find more about m-city here. I can’t say exactly why but I didn’t take a picture of the whole ensemble. Instead I took three pictures that put together create the whole graffiti. I guess that’s how inspiration guided me at that moment That’s why I decided to post all three pictures, to give you a clearer idea of the entire work.
Sometimes I see a graffiti like the one in today’s photo and I ask myself: how did its author managed to draw it up there? I mean, did he or she hanged like a climber while drawing it? Did they use scaffolding? Or is there some obvious solution that I’m missing?
