During the day, Reskate’s extensive murals cover a large amount of space for buildings, stage backgrounds and even transformer towers. Although these huge public works are striking during sunny hours, they completely change with the darkness of the night.
Artists Javier de Riba and María López are the artistic duo behind Reskate. Both artists travel throughout Barcelona year-round, visiting every corner of the world to complete projects to “improve people’s care for culture, nature and peace.”
Reskate’s theme is usually children. In a bold and explanatory style, the artist portrays young figures of objects related to the placement of the mural area, as well as articles that reflect global concerns. “The invisibility and ineffectiveness of young people as active factors that should be the social,” the pair explained in a statement covering “Eulalia” “.
An example is common in “Bruit” in the form of immersive concerts designed for the stage. In this piece, a young girl protects her arms around the fish tank, nodding, the effect on the sound pollution in the ocean.
The pair recently completed an exhibition at the Picasso Museum in Barcelona and plan to continue their artistic efforts in public places. Find more jobs on Reskate’s website and Instagram and browse prints in its online store.
