G40 ART SUMMIT, 2012

by Aryz

In 2010 Maryland gallery @ArtWhino launched the G40 Art Summit, bringing together renowned artists for a month long exhibition. After a conversation between gallery owner Shane Pomajambo and Pixel Pancho about the emergence of the new muralism movement the decision was made to dedicate the 2012 G40 to looking at the "Art of the Mural." A few short months later Aryz joined a dozen of the world's top artists and painted this work near the 17th St Farmers' Market—one of 20 new murals painted for the Richmond, Virginia, event. Born in California Spanish artist Aryz moved back to Spain at age three and grew up in the active graffiti scene around Barcelona. While not typical of his more common subject matter of humans or animals, the vibrant cool palette and industrial characteristics of the this painting are common in his work.  @mr_aryz/
