Stunning! I love it, and thanks for sharing!
donnah -- it's hard to believe how it was conceived and executed, but amazing, right?!
As an artist, I can appreciate his vision and dedication,, right down to his use of biodegradable chalk. But I cannot imagine such a huge scale and vast canvas to work on. He reminds me of Banksie, whose stenciled artworks are always popping up, making his political statements known. But Banksie works on a smaller scale.
Remember Cristo, who created massive works of art that embraced nature and were temporary celebrations of texture and light? I could never manage works of that scope, but I love them.
These artists are true treasures.
