The Havana Biennial 2012 kicked off last week and the recent collaboration from JR and Jose Parla is sure to be a highlight of the festival.
Even tho we’ve already covered most of these murals, we couldn’t resist publishing these beautiful and higher quality new shots.
Exploring the relationship between visuals and social issues, the Parisian artist and Cuban-American visual raconteur have transformed the streets of Havana with absorbing murals for their wall-revitalizing “Wrinkles Of The City” exhibit.
Featuring the frenetic calligraphic gestures of Parla and the melancholic portraits of JR, the fused work blends the two disparate styles into a melodious harmony.
Parla’s topographical notes give JR’s elderly subjects a dreamlike quality and the imperfect facades add texture while enhancing the depth and tactile quality of each image.
Simply stunning…
