🏆 Nomination: Best Of 2022

Cobre

<div><br>By the Argentinian based muralist Cobre in Great Falls, Montana, USA for Arts Fest Montana curated by CAMER1sf.<br><br>Cobre: It’s so easy to get lost in his gaze, because I love his eyes. They are brown. Black coffee, without sugar… That coffee that makes you sleepy, coffee that makes you sleepless. Another night without being able to sleep, because of that coffee, which tomorrow I will want again.<br><br><br><br><br></div>

The eyes

<div>Argentinian artist Andres Petroselli, aka Cobre (@cobreart), visited Melbourne briefly in March 2020 and left two beautiful walls. Unfortunately he arrived early in the early days of the corona virus and had to leave as soon as he could get a flight out about the time of lockdown. He painted this wall in Collingwood. The other one was in a high turnover space in Hosier Lane. I've attached a photograph of it here for reference. It was already damaged prior to lockdown. The painted skin is extraordinary.</div>

It was a pleasure to spend the week watching this beautiful portrait of Frank Sinatra come to life in my Bay Ridge neighborhood. I hope it changes some minds as to what street art is, and how the community could use some color. After he finished, Cobre was nice enough to answer a few questions for us, so we could get to know this artist a little better!&nbsp; </em><strong>Go here for full interview:</strong><a href="https://www.soldmagny.com/single-post/2019/03/05/Ol-Blue-Eyes-in-Bay-Ridge-An-Interview-with-Cobre">https://www.soldmagny.com/single-post/2019/03/05/Ol-Blue-Eyes-in-Bay-Ridge-An-Interview-with-Cobre</a>&nbsp;</div>
