Once I saw the pictures of the Scottish Kelburn Castle, I knew I had to be in an alternate mindset to fully appreciate and understand them. The psychedelic artwork is aesthetically nuts and the story behind it being there is very cool at the same time. The castle’s located near Fairlie, North Ayrshire, Scotland, also providing space for the current seat of the Earl of Glasgow.
The Crack Addict photography project was interesting as it depicted, what I can only assume, addicts and dealers in a naturally typical setting for the sort. Gritty and real with a very honest approach.
The third graffiti project, the illusory 3D Pavement art, is mind-blowing and challenges the viewer’s perception. Artist Edgar Mueller had a stroke of genius when he created his street art ice crevasse in Ireland. The huge 250-square meter picture, took 5 days to complete, working from sunrise to sunset with 5 assistants.
If you’re at all interested in graf art and the wonderful world of counter-culture, Trendhunter’s feature collection is definitely worth a peek; your eyeballs will thank us.
