The Stencil Artista

<div>These "Hope Koi" were done by local Las Vegas artist The Stencil Artista. Curated by @therahproject for the Life is Beautiful Festival 2016. The project was called "Lighting for Hope", one of the community projects that Life is Beautiful does ever year around festival time. This was an outreach to the homeless community in Las Vegas, with a lot of volunteers and&nbsp; social service programs to aid the homeless within the Las Vegas Community. The process that The Stencil Artista used to create these giant happy koi, was spray paint and giant stencils cut out of manila folders. All of The Stencil Artistas stencils are done by hand. Hand drawn on manila folders, then cut out with an exact o knife. No computers, no printers, no technology. The Stencil Artista tries to bring happiness and color to the community's that he does his murals in. To see a video of what the project was, here is a you tube link.&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ClgbdpklY0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ClgbdpklY0</a></div>

The project was commissioned by Fashion Show Mall where the street art was created, right on the world famous "Las Vegas Strip".&nbsp; M!SCRE8 had only three days to complete the 72 steps, which was all done with spray paint. Each step has four coats, one layer of primer, two layers of the color, and then one layer of clear coat. M!SCRE8 finished just in time for thousands of people to bring in the new year of 2019 and making the night a little more colorful.&nbsp;</div>

Leon Keer

<div>Mural in downtown LV curated by 'Life is Beautiful '<br>The retro crypto slot machine questions gambling addiction<br>&nbsp;<br>In a humorous representation, artist Leon Keer renders ‘the biggest slot machine in Vegas’ through the lens of a bold, retro aesthetic. The vibrant, saturated colours characteristic of the pop surrealist movement and vintage typography on the conventional casino gambling machine juxtapose the current 21st-century digital cryptocurrency wave. In place of fruit symbols, the rotating reels of ‘Crypto Casino’ reveal crypto coins, including Bitcoin, KRP and Tether. Moreover, the anamorphic mural presents an intriguing 3D illusion, inviting spectators to engage with it from various perspectives and ponder the artwork’s message.<br><br></div>

<div>Mural for Life is Beautiful Festival 2013 curated by @justkidsofficial This is one of the oldest of the Life is Beautiful murals in the downtown Las Vegas area.<br><br>"Hailing from Puerto Rico and currently living in Arkansas, Ana Maria Ortiz (Ana Marietta) started painting on old wood pieces with tempera paint as a little girl in her dad’s wood shop in Barranquitas. Getting into the University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez, she studied art and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Recognized internationally for her anthropomorphic creatures, Ana paints and draws animals with exaggerated human&nbsp; features, creating sympathy for her iconoclastic subjects. With sensibility and dark humor, the artist's noble beasts seem to look at us in silence,&nbsp; going beyond design to convey a unique visual language within the pictorial&nbsp; iconographic tradition.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Ana’s skills to create large scale murals have been recognized in multiple cities for the subtle brush strokes and shading of hybrid creatures that feature her signature beaks and human-like eyes. Her street pieces reside around the world in London, Miami, Turin, Las Vegas, Hawaii and Kiev among many others.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Her studio work has been exhibited in Mexico, London and at the prestigious Station Museum of Contemporary Art in Houston.

Recycled Propaganda is an active artist in the Las Vegas art movement.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;"Known for his often gritty, always thought-provoking, and occasionally shock-inducing imagery, <em>Recycled Propaganda</em> utilizes original digital images conveyed through media ranging from large-scale murals to packs of stickers. All the imagery is crafted with the intent to “subvert the black and white – fear and fact-based rhetoric that we are so frequently plagued with, into a more eccentric and equivocal one that better reflects our reality.”&nbsp; Trying to reach many, this artist is continually expanding his influence with an optimism to evoke change." -quoted&nbsp;<a href="https://recycledpropaganda.com/">https://recycledpropaganda.com/</a> &nbsp;<br><br>If you would like to see more of his works, he has a gallery downtown in the Las Vegas Arts District.&nbsp;<br>Address

@bicicletasemfreio

<div>The Brazilian duo Bicicleta Sem Freio hits up another great piece in downtown Las Vegas for Life is Beautiful 2017. Curated by Just Kids<br><br>"Bicicleta sem Freio (Bicycle Without Brakes) is Brazilian design and illustration collective who explores with sense of typography mastership the colors, the shapes and curves of a variety of girls, always with a dose of psychedelic and unique humor. Bicicleta sem Freio&nbsp; have done projects for Sony, Nike, Absolut, Converse and were recently in the USA, where they were involved in actions of urban intervention and attended the Coachella Festival.<br><br></div><div>Douglas, Victor and Renato met for the first time at the Visual Arts course from the Federal University of Goias (UFG). The BSF came together as a big group of class colleagues that just wanted to have fun, create, draw and animate whatever came into their minds. With influences that go from Edward Mucha to James Jean most of the early work was posters for rock concerts and cultural events. In a way this experience would directly influence the birth of the band Black Drawing Chalks (of the three just Renato isn’t in the band).<br><br></div><div>Marck Al about this Brazilian trio says: “ Art, design and rock ’n’ roll. It might sound as a cliché but this is the simplest, most honest and coherent way of trying to explain this power trio of illustrators that answers to the name Bicicleta sem Freio. I wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that they live what they draw. Sometimes that doesn’t quite work, but most of the times the result is astounding and genius. The team effort has been raising awareness on all continents, the guys have been lending their unique touch to customers around the world, not bad for three boys riding a bike at full speed without any kind of breaks.”<br><br></div><div>“… Many stories, some good and some bad,<br>many songs, some good and some bad,<br>many designs …” BSF<br><br></div><div>The Bicicleta sem Freio trio lives and works in Goiânia – Goiás, Brasil." -quoted <a href="https://www.widewalls.ch/artist/bicicleta-sem-freio/">https://www.widewalls.ch/artist/bicicleta-sem-freio/</a><br><br></div>

@joakimojanen

Joakim Ojanen

<div>The first U.S. Mural for Swedish artist @joakimojanen, for Life is Beautiful Festival 2018. Curated by Just Kids<br><br>&nbsp; "Joakim Ojanen’s artwork embodies the inner child within all of us. He creates a deeply personal universe full of unique characters that automatically win the heart of the viewer with their sincerity. His paintings and ceramic sculptures capture genuine moments of human expression. When they are grouped together they create delicate and emotionally charged narratives. While maintaining a sense of humor they manage to hit an intense spot in the human psyche, perhaps a subconscious adolescent need none of us ever get over; the desire to belong. Piece by piece each of Ojanen’s works tells a story about finding one’s way in the world and reminds us it’s okay to be ourselves. <br>&nbsp;<br>Ojanen’s distinct and organic path as an artist begins in Västerås, Sweden. He entered into the arts through graffiti. For him, it was a creative outlet, which intrigued his interests in other types of art mediums. He learned how to use animation programs and began to make short movies and music videos. He also pursued drawing, publishing fanzines and organizing art shows. <br>&nbsp;<br>These endeavors led to his enrollment in the Illustration and Graphic Design program at Konstfack, University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm. After a couple of years, he decided illustration wasn’t for him. Seeking a hobby, Ojanen signed up for a ceramics open studio session outside of school. It was during these sessions that he started to make sculptures from his drawings. <br>&nbsp;<br>Ojanen’s passion for independent studies has fostered an extensive understanding of his materials. In fact, it is his relationship with paint and clay that guide him in each of his creations. He embarks on making his portrait paintings by first drawing a small sketch. Bringing it to the canvas, he aims to make his idea come alive. There is a negotiation that happens between the paint and his brush strokes. The resolution determines when each painting is complete. To start his sculptures Ojanen goes straight to the clay. Once the process is initiated he then allows it to take the lead until a finished piece emerges. <br>&nbsp;<br>His ability is demonstrated well in Sitting Wondering a sculpture that depicts a boy hugging his knees while grasping a pen and notebook. The use of texture and precise gesture reveals a vulnerability that resonates long after viewing it. And in turn, the audience is invited to explore a deeper level of intuition. <br>&nbsp;<br>One notices Ojanen’s iconography is reminiscent of a comic book language. In pictorial terms, his artwork hints at the works of Philip Guston, Keith Haring and at times the Surrealist paintings of Salvador Dali. However Ojanen states, ‘It’s dangerous to look at one artist too much.’ Instead, a framework of emotions structures Ojanen’s introverted creative process. ‘I work a lot with feelings. I would say that is the main core of my work. It’s about finding the right posture, the right eyes, smile and so on, (in order) to capture something I couldn’t make up in my mind. It’s about trying until I get something that feels right.’ <br>&nbsp;<br>Ojanen cites music as his biggest source of inspiration to his artwork – and lists his favorites as Drake, Young Thug, and Wu-Tang Clan, just to mention a few. Listening to rap while working in his studio is an integral part of his process. As he interacts and alters his materials he harnesses the raw energy of it and reflects the autobiographical lyrics in his use of narrative. <br>&nbsp;<br>A genuine talent, it is worth spending time navigating through his profoundly sensitive universe of work. Ojanen exhibits his art widely in Sweden and is represented by the Richard Heller Gallery in Los Angeles. <br>&nbsp;<br>- Laura Mylott Manning is a New York based artist and writer. She holds a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and is a contributor to the WCPUN journal Centerpoint Now. www.lmylottmanning.com @lmylottmanning.com" -quoted <a href="http://www.richardhellergallery.com/dynamic/artist_bio.asp?ArtistID=141">http://www.richardhellergallery.com/dynamic/artist_bio.asp?ArtistID=141</a></div>
