Surprise

Leffingestraat 40 (Schoolgebouw links achteraan Haverstraat) (2018)

<div>The Rome mural was commissioned by the local city council with the supervision of Galleria Varsi, a dynamic gallery near Campo de' Fiori known for its stable of street artists, and which currently hosts an Etam Cru exhibition entitled<a href="https://www.wantedinrome.com/whats-on/2004429/bedtime-stories.html"> Bedtime Stories</a>.<br><br>The Polish duo Etam Cru (Bezt and Sainer) created the highest mural in Rome (to date) on the border between the Tor Pignattara and Pigneto neighborhoods: 32 meters&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Trendy Pigneto is an up-and-coming area with low-key pizzerias, traditional trattorias, so perfect spot for Polish duo Etam Cru to create the tallest mural in Rome for their first visit to the city.</div><div>You can catch this fading, 15 foot man coming out of a garbage can with a coffee in his hand. Many in the neighborhood censored this subject, thinking it was a representation of the area that has long been afflicted by a chronic emergency linked to waste disposal. In reality the artists - as often happens - did not really think about the problem but tried to represent a grotesque situation in which to synthesize a "gentle" Italian everyday life (coffee in fact) and a "negative" or the situation of discomfort and marginalization of many people forced to live on the street.</div><div>The enigma remains and maybe that's good.</div><div>Do you like coffee? What's your favorite?</div><div><br><br></div>
