Murals

2013

This image is full of bright soft colors. Its in a town a couple of the community. It looks like is happening around the middle eastern country (Cairo, Egypt), its close to the road. The painting is in large scale it covers two walls opposite each other The murals doesn't have special details its just different slaps of colors.

Reminds me of a festival, with the colors. Looks like their getting ready for a big celebration a public holiday?. The different colors reminds me of the equal right badge that was is used to represent Gay, Bisexual, and  Lesbian rights. But I have read and did a bit of research on this mural and they are actually about the community of Cairo not being satisfied with their government choices and so they ended up with the ideas to paint their city with bright colors to state their statement. So which means that their murals are political street art.

 I think that this is interesting because I would never think of these murals as political art until I actually did research on it. I think this is exactly what the artist is trying to do, which is to draw people attention with the bright and colorful murals, think its is based on something positive and fun when really the story behind the murals is the people of Cairo are suffering because of their own government. I think that these murals are more like a cray out of these people to their government and if their government is not listening, there's the whole world that these big colorful murals will attract.
