Murals by BLU

(placemark No.: 51.-53.)

Murals were made between 2008. and 2010., in the period of thime when the settlement changed much (buildings has been born and vanished) so only one of these can be seen on StreetView imagery.
For No.51. at least photo-layer content available (for a while), no photo-layer for No.53., but the building can be recognized on StreetView.

No.56
This one is from 2010. when the wall looked at a parking lot.
On StreetView imagery from 2016. (also on most recent aerial) some construction process can be seen, so one could say, check 3D Buildings for best viewing results!

...surreal creation featuring a disintegrating planet with millions of jigsaw people being flung into orbit. Might Blu be commenting on man’s destruction of the world or the overpopulation of the earth which recently passed the seven billion mark..."

Fantastic work, syzygy. It's loads of fun to investigate these!

Thank you Diane!

Strange, I have never had such a thought to collect graffiti locations, however I think these are more, and not only by their scales. (Follow link if have not already seen my Murals by Guido van Helten thread!)

So glad you like it! By me only I can repeat myself and say: yep! Great fun for me too. Love the very moment when suddenly catch sight of the piece on aerial- or streetview imagery, displayed on 3D buildings- or as photo layer content.

Well said by CuriousJM: "Google Earthritis is incurable"!

Best and see you,
g

I agree, these are public artworks, not graffiti.    Of course, a case could be made that there is a fine line between them, but I still call this art!

can not imagine how could I missed this one so far on the firewall of my 3^rd find's building:

A Street Art Memorial To The Little-Known "Italian Chernobyl"

The street artist Blu’s ... work stands tall, boldly calling attention to the ill effects of militarization in an region of Sardinia with an environment destroyed by military testing.

When the environmental health of a region is so severely compromised that the city or neighborhood becomes synonymous with wreckage, that space can seem less a real-world location than a manifestation of a collective fear—at least for outsiders. But the degradation around the rocket-launching site of Salto di Quirra in southeast Sardinia, Italy, is quite real. And thanks to street artist Blu, we’re looking its way.

The massive mural Blu has painted depicts how militarization has altered life in the region, resulting in the so-called "Quirra Syndrome," which refers to the shockingly high cancer rate of local inhabitants: 65% suffer from leukemia. Add to that the reports of lambs being born with multiple heads and extra limbs, and you understand why the area’s been referred to as "Italy’s Chernobyl."

Whatever the mural lacks in nuance, it makes up for in size and clarity, serving as both a local and global reminder that all-out war isn’t the only ill effect of an increasingly militarized world—and that far too many of us need protection from the organizations that purport to protect us in the first place.

but the municipality and the police are trying to evict the neighbors and destroy all the buildings..

I am finally catching up on your BLU posts, syzygy. The range of his themes is astounding, from apocalyptic to somber to puzzling to funny. For me, though, it seems his recurring theme is human stupidity and greed leading to Earth's destruction. There is so much to think about (and see!) in his murals. Thank you for your dedication to this collection, syzygy.

Oh - and thank you for the link to his blog!

yep! there were some vintage and this last 3 recent (on two scenes) since you were away, I was glad to find on the GE globe.
one should think most hard to find the ones from 2009 or 2011, but fortunately older streetview imagery database helped me out in many cases.

agree, BLU is a painter of the "human-hazard", expresses main problems which are come with the artificial global system, humanity have made for itself to live in:
waste, violence, war, social disintegrating...

in his every time "wordy" and complex style he prefers both sketch-like BW or 3color and huge, colorful pieces as well.
he has both general subjects and pieces has been painted to highlight a local problem.

so glad you like it D, also to see you around!

No 73.: La Punta - Valencia, Spain (April, 2018)


image source: blublu.org/sito/blog/?p=2999

"WE STOP THE ZAL, WE WILL RECOVER THE POINT! (Google translation)

La Punta is a pedestrian garden located in the south of the city of Valencia, where, for more than 15 years, the project "Logistics Activities Zone"; (ZAL) of the port of Valencia sealed one of the blackest chapters in the history of the destruction of the valency orchard with the deportation of a hundred families, depriving them of their way of life and sweeping through fields and houses, to give the port an enormous development land.

The resistance of the neighborhood and social groups did not prevent the destruction of Punta, but the implementation of the ZAL. The courts, with three court rulings (2009, 2013 and 2015), have annulled the Special Plan of the ZAL. Legally it has become the starting point. "

In the 21st century and in the context of the ecological crisis in which we live, we have an opportunity to rethink the future of Punta and our territory. However, this year (2017) what is intended is to reactivate the ZAL project adorned with a "green corridor" and a bike lane. The area of ​​the huerta de la Punta has been left out of the hopeful projects of protection of the garden and coastline."

Personal note of the artist for this one on his blog: "thanks and love to comitato mammut, Rebibbia neighborhood assembly and everyone who participated"

Personal note of mine: Special thanks for krenek  and CuriousJM , who finally "forced me" to spot the right building on GE! (;

With this one also we have arrived back to the first murals by BLU that I have shared in this thread. The building, krenek tried to "sell me" is right next to 1st mural in OP. 
BTW, I think we will stare at also that firewall soon!
