With acrobatic finesse, the figures in Artez’s large-scale murals interpret the boundaries of the partitions themselves by way of modern dance and moments of repose.
Presently engaged on an ongoing collection titled Easy Acrobatics, the artist explains that he goals to “break away from the conventional approach of depicting the human figure on a mural and offer a fresh perspective on how the human form can be portrayed in public spaces.” Dancers fill the perimeters of buildings, typically utilizing a chair as a prop, stretching across the confines of the wall as if difficult its boundaries.
One other current theme, Thirst, portrays folks consuming from vases of flowers. The weird gesture nods to a way of consciousness, inviting viewers to contemplate society—its conventions and expectations—and ponder the world round them anew.
