the street is our gallery

“Trust mural” is the artistic creation of Serbian artist Artez who recently attended the Tbilisi Mural Festival in the Republic of Georgia. In the words of the artist we present this wonderful mural that has a story to tell.

”For quite some time I was hoping to get an opportunity to paint two walls that will be visually connected, telling a story about trust. The core idea for this concept was inspired by the famous story of William Tell and his son. Instead of an apple, the figure on my mural had a pear on her head, and instead of William Tell with a bow, there is an empty wall in the background of the photo.”

”As an artist who creates interventions in public space, I am always confronted with surfaces that can be seen as a pixel of a larger picture. Unlike painting on canvas, I often have to think about the ambient and atmosphere of the place in which I paint, and very often these inputs affect my art quite a lot.”

”What I really like about this intervention is that, besides creating a story that can exist on its own, I have also created an element that might affect the intervention on the neighbouring wall, thus making this mural a part of “site specific elements” that could be used for inspiration in future.”
