Spanish artist SpY from Madrid creates witty pieces that break in many ways with urban dwellers inertia with humor and a pinch of irony, which often will bring a smile or a thought on you.
Based in the observation of the urban environment, his work consists in the playful reappropriation of urban elements, that he replicates or transforms and then installs again in the street.
Created for the Bien Urbain Festival 2013 in Besançon, France, these two pieces “Grow” and “Funeral” are a good example of what I mentioned above.
