Staring at a Dead Tree

One of the murals curated at Vnitroblock by Dudes & Barbies Gallery is the oldest artwork in the collection (April 2018), created by Belgian artist DZIA. The piece combines a realistic animal form with dynamic lines and geometric shapes typical of the artist’s style. DZIA explores the presence of nature within urban space, suggesting that wildlife remains an integral part of the city even when represented on its walls. Originally inspired by a nearby dead tree, the fox now looks toward a living tree after changes in its surroundings, which the artist felt improved the composition.
