Daniela Balsamo

<div>Daniela Balsamo’s new artwork is an exploration of the complex and dramatic issue of domestic violence. &nbsp;<br><br>The mural, commissioned by the University of Palermo (Italy), focuses on the ways violence is often hidden behind apparent gestures of love. A man gifts a rose to a beautiful lady, luring her with his courteous and kind manners, while holding his dagger and getting ready to strike. In the meantime the sheep stands as a symbol of the naivety of all those people that condone and justify violence in the name of love.</div><div><br><br></div>

Help

<pre>This wall is located in the “Sperone” neighborhood on the outskirts of Palermo, a place full of contradictions and often forgotten by the institutions. In this neighborhood (except for schools) there are no spaces or parks for children where they can play.
The artist has dedicated this mural to all the boys and girls of his city, because he is convinced that if the change doesn't come from them, no change is possible.</pre><div><br></div>

Sant'Erasmo

<div>Created by Andrea Buglisi alias BUG_.TV in 2019 and is a part of the MURI di MARE Project - New mural in Terrasini.<br>It represents a carpenter's vis that balances an egg.<br>One more turn of the screw and the egg would shatter, one less and it would fall.</div><div>It is a reflection on theissues of precariousbalance, resistance and contrast, but it also has a political meaning as the term "crackdown" generally refers to the increased punishment of a specific crime. Its use has become common in every human sphere when it comes to any hardening of a norm or a way of behaving. Its etymology derives from a type of death sentence practiced in Spain: the garrote. In this type of condemnation, infact, at every turn of the screw an iron circle tightened to the throat of the condemned man to the point of causing death by strangulation.<br><br></div>

<div>Cartoline da Ballarò<br>Five urban paintings that from 25 July to 1 August 2018 were painted simultaneously in five large walls of the Albergheria. The project, born from an idea of Igor Scalisi Palminteri and Andrea Buglisi, involved Alessandro Bazan, Andrea Buglisi, Angelo Crazyone, Fulvio Di Piazza and Igor Scalisi Palminteri who faced as many large walls located in the historic district of Ballarò / Albergheria. The monumental works have been conceived and designed to dialogue, each in its own way, with the urban fabric and the resident community of the neighborhood. Objective of the project: urban redevelopment through art, which is why squares were chosen that show signs of decay despite their great aesthetic and historical / cultural potential.</div>
