“PHOENIX OF METAL”

by Nunca

Designed in the 1930s the Douglas DC-3 revolutionized air transport and is still in use more than 80 years later, especially in parts of the world where runways may not always be paved. The majority were originally manufactured as the military C-47 but a number of C-117 variants were also produced and several of those have found their way to the Pima Air and Space Museum, the largest non-government-funded aviation museum in the U.S. In 2010 gallery owner Eric Firestone conceived the Boneyard Project, originally inviting urban artists to paint nose cones and then in 2011 to start painting complete planes for the Pima museum. One such C-117 was painted by Brazilian Francisco Rodrigues da Silva, aka Nunca (“Never” in Portuguese) who began spray painting in his poor São Paulo neighborhood as a symbol of rebellion. Today Nunca’s work has become far more elaborate and has been displayed in galleries and museums around the world. @nunca.art @ericfirestone @pimaairandspace @pimaair

Completed project by @Nunca.art for #MayaAngelouMuralFestival 📷 @staticmedium • “Had the honor of participating in the Maya Angelou Mural Festival alongside many great artists these past two weeks. Im happy with how this mural turned out. The importance of knowledge of our history and in the special of our ancestors was an idea that moved me to create this mural. The poems of Maya Angelou can be seen blended with body paintings on the figure’s body.This one is for the students of the Maya Angelou High School, for the Community of South Central and for the students in Brasil that are struggling to have the right to study with investments and quality ✊🏽”. - Nunca • Additional quotes by Dr. Maya Angelou (from left to right): "You may write me down in history. With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt. But still, like dust, I'll rise." "We have lived a painful history. We know the shameful past, But I keep on marching forward, And you keep on coming last. Equality, and I will be free. Equality, and I will be free." "Now if you listen closely, I'll tell you what I know. Storm clouds are gathering. The wind is gonna blow. The race of man is suffering, And I can hear the moan, 'Cause nobody, But nobody, Can make it out here alone." "I note the obvious differences between each sort and type, but we are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike. We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike. We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike." “Take the blinders from your vision. Take the padding from your ears, and confess you've heard me crying, and admit you've seen my tears.” • Special thanks to: @behrpaint @ironlak @kith @lacma @mayfairhotella @nasajpl @thinkspace_art @mosaicartfoundation @hyperx @adidasoriginals @sinanuzan @represent.global @melodicstar @morbros @drmayaangelou #mayaangelou #brandedarts #nunca #nuncaart #stillirise #contemporaryart #streetart #communityart #losangeles (at Dr.Maya Angelou Community High School) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByqHPrfAek4/?igshid=1pb5tdqummpnl
