Street Art Love

I recently took a fancy on street art and murals. Enough that I started a Facebook page dedicated to it. I called the page Writings On The Wall. Writings on the Wall is a tribute to public art and their artists (unknown, in many cases ) "because they would be soon gone before we know it." 

Murals and street art are fleeting- it is the sad fact of it. But they do a lot to make an otherwise drab place beautiful and artsy.  It will be a shame not to have a memory of these work of arts painstakingly painted by their artists.  

For my first street art photography, I went to Bonifacio Global City. Being a new business center with new, beautiful buildings, it seemed an unlikely place to have street art and murals. Surprisingly, for 2 consecutive years, they have commissioned  local and foreign artists to paint lovely murals.  Here's my top 10 favorite (not in particular order) :

2) Called "DAVID'S HAND" in the artist's website, but is referred to as "IN THE CLOUD" in most blogs I read
Location: 7th Avenue (at Mango Tree Bar) , Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines

3)  A girl and the birds

10) "Charlotte"

And of course...there are those beautiful "art in trash".

So..head over to BGC before they are gone!

"The Heart of God's Country"- a Mural About Nature

Earlier this year, we were greeted with this work of art amidst the drab urban landscape that is Bonifacio Global City.  The mural is at W 5th building, in the very busy intersection of 5th Avenue and 32nd Street.The artist behind the mural is the California based muralist Andrew Schoultz.    "The Heart of God's County" depicts nature, and regeneration. It was one of the murals produced during the 10 day mural festival held this year where local and international artists turned BGC's wall into beautiful works of art.
