Murals by ELLA and PITR

In this thread let me introduce an artist couple from France through their giant rooftop- wall- and asphalt murals (by some exceptions pieces of their Sleepy Giants Project), which ones I can locate on GE.

I name placemarks numbered, in order as I have found the pieces, but a main difference with my other streetart thread that in this case I try to create also overlays for some where needed by ones where good angle photo available of the ground-mural. I can do so as these selected pieces painted on horizontal canvases of the urban texture. (In most cases I cannot fit better overlays to GE imagery, because of different aerial photo angles. Still think these are pretty cool to watch also this way.) - Overlays in folder are off as default. In many cases, where no overlay, no relevant GE imagery available worth to check the 3D Buildings layer. Sorry for broken image links that might appear in thread and kmz as well! - these will be fixed... at once.

First one listed in attached kmz folder -'Lilith and Olaf'- seems to be the world’s largest outdoor mural*: (*EDIT: It is not anymore! - Check No.70!)

2015. Nuart Street Art Festival in Stavanger, Norway celebrated its fifteenth anniversary and is there a better way to celebrate than with the creation of the world’s largest outdoor mural. Some speculate whether it truly is the largest, calling it the largest figurative mural ever made, but those minor opinion differences cannot deny the spectacular result of Ella & Pitr’s latest artistic engagement. The mural was the first project to emerge at Nuart Festival 2015, on a 21,000 square meter roof surface in Klepp, Rogaland and in just a few days it became the biggest town attraction. The mural will officially be on view from 4th September although it is already visible from planes, and some airplane companies are even altering their routes, searching for the best view of the new Klepp landmark. An astonishing fact is that the whole piece was created in four days. Entitled Lilith and Olaf the mural depicts one of their signature female characters with a figure of Norwegian King Olaf falling from her hand. This tribute to Norwegian cultural heritage seems to be even more impressive if we have in mind that the birthplace of this medieval kind was just a couple of meters away from the location of the mural.-widewalls

These are remarkable, syzygy, thanks so  much for posting this.  It was really fun to take a look myself! They are so whimsical, they remind me of illustrations for high-quality children's books where the giants are more endearing than scary. The details are witty: gold jewelry on the t-shirted "gangster," red nail polish on several of them, high heels, tiny people painted on some giants... 

Hi Diane! So glad you like it! Also was a great fun for me to collect and overlay.

However it seems something needs some clearing up:

Visit image source pages and check on full images that these are not painted, but drone made "selfies" of the artist couple, in many cases joined by company. (co-workers and/or friends and children)

Kind couple with cute subject of art.

HERE another streetart thread of mine with a bit less cute mode of expression by mural painting. (in case you have missed)

From the beginning I have made tries to find this one in the megapolis, finally 3D Buildings layer helped me out again.
Not that the mural is visible on the 3D building (edit: it is not (anymore)), but could identify surrounding buildings by tilted angle view.
On historical imagery the mural (something) is visible from 2/2014 for a few months. Rain in Santiago done its work in these two months.

It is catalogued as #1 because at least one more lurks somewhere there, deep inside the thousands of meandering street branches carved into the coastal hillsides of Valparaíso.

No.36. - Arromanches, France. Painted in 2013. for “Le Festival De La Pluie”:

Using Indian ink, paper, glue and a ladder, Ella and Pitr are creating their own contemporary vision of humanity.
Their work is highlighting the ordinary people (the old, the tired, the sad) who are facing the world’s darkness. - streetartnews

Have made a walk in St. Etienne by StreetView and have bumped into several other works by Ella&Pitr on the streets of their hometown.
Besides 4 more smaller-bigger wall and garage door paints (placemark No.52 - No.55.) a new 'extras' folder have been added by this last update, in which I put up some other miscellaneous
"gadgets" related to the artist couple. (stickers, the 'cake wall', frame- and name graffities, ...)

Screenie of the most recent finding:

No.55.: St. Etienne #13 - Theatre de Tardy-, France (wall paint, date unknown)



Three questions on the extras would to be answered:
1. COLT/PITR stickers - what to know about it? is that our Pitr? then who is that Colt guy?
2. what could be known about the birthday cakes' wall?
3. the OLGA/PIOTR garffiti were they? -was that some name-variant?

EDIT / 12.jan.2017:
Have registered but seem to be a bit shy to do a reply so let me quote here answers by the artists I have got in e-mail:

...
COLT/PITR was a stickers project with a good friend called Colt. We pasted a lot all around the world:
www.flickr.com/photos/23365642@N05/with/6048917328/

About the birthday cakes street, this is a wall where we paste some birthday cakes for our friends.

And for the Olga Piotr graffiti, it's us, but we just changed our name a little bit !

Best vibes from here, happy new year.

Ella & Pitr !

Have already edited placemarks' descriptions in 'extras' folder.

More cool finds - thanks again, syzygy! I wondered about the one on the runway. It seems strange that she would be allowed to do that. Maybe a stealth attack?

Then you will find more strange this one. A listed building vandalized at first glance. I think they got permission before some facade renovation of the castle (or another explanation can be that this is easy to remove).

Really a minor update, the more important for me since Ella and Pitr now representing also in my town. 

Besides other smaller gifts I got stickers from the artist couple and spent a lot of time to choose suitable scenes to stick them.

The first two Ella&Pitr stickers on the drain pipe by the entrance of an old favorite pub of mine have been sticked by me few days ago:



This kind of update will not cause more 'bump-replies' in the future, only made this post by the occasion of their first appearance on Hungarian streets.

Thanks E&P turning this abandoned concrete waste into a kind piece of art for a while!

Two positions of the left arm? Well, I have asked, and the official explanation is: " just for the pleasure to have the choice! like this japanese granny with two faces!"
