“WRITE YOUR FLIGHT PATH”

by Zed1

“How can the most burgeoning art neighborhood on the planet have public schools that don’t teach art or music?”  —the Huffington Post

With that concern in mind the RAW Project (Re-imagining the Arts Worldwide) was launched at Wynwood’s Jose de Diego Middle School in 2014. In year two of the project Italian artist Marco Burresi, aka Zed1, joined the cast of artists supporting art education. With compositions that @Wdwlls describes as “characterized by a good dose of humor” and characters they say “can be likened to those of a fairy tale” his work seems ideally suited for this metaphoric expression of the power of books.  @zed1_marco/  @wynwoodmurals

“CHARGE MY HEART”

by Zed1

Wynwood is changing rapidly and @thebigbubblemia says the art now “sometimes feels like little more than a decoration for the dining, drinking, shopping, and nightlife.” For several years during its heyday however Venezualan emigre Chiara Saldívar and her company Wynwood Embassy had a significant impact on the district, bringing together a “United Nations of street art”—rising stars from around the world. In 2016 one such artist was Marco Burresi, aka Zed 1, from Florence, Italy, who painted two whimsical walls for Wynwood Embassy including this wall on NW 27th Terrace. @wdwlls calls Zed1’s post-modern surrealism “sometimes melancholy, sometimes extraordinary ironic” but the precision with which he imbues the inanimate with life-like properties has made him a recurring favorite on the streets of Wynwood.  @zed1_marco/  @wynwoodembassy/   @wynwoodmurals
