ARD*POP-UP FESTIVAL
By M-City
Born on Poland’s Baltic coast Mariusz Waras, aka M-City, is both graphic designer and fine artist, and earned a PhD from the Department of Painting of the Gdansk Academy. With a growing body of street art to his credit, in 2015 he began running the Street Art Studio at the Academy of Art in Szczecin, Poland. Widewalls describes M-City’s work, achieved through hand-cut stencils, as rhythmic and precise and characterized by two main inspirations: video games and geopolitical issues. Perhaps best known for painting a huge mural on the Stavanger, Norway airport control tower for the 2013 @NuartFestival, M-City was in Norway a year earlier painting this somewhat smaller work in Oslo on Brenneriveien for the Ard*Pop-Up festival. @StencilCity @wdwlls
