Cuvrystr. Graffiti Berlin- Poster A4

Description

Poster Cuvrystr. Graffiti Berlin

The Cuvrystrasse Poster Graffiti Berlin represents the work of the street artist Blu, and the format Din A4 is vertical.
This graffiti was located in the street “Cuvrystraße”. It’s situated between the river Spree and the crossroads of Schlesische Str. in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
I drew this urban sketch on the 10th of March 2010 directly at the location.

But in December of 2014 in consultation with Blu the two murals at Cuvrystraße were covered with black paint by a group of people as a sign of discontent with the city’s urban development policies in the area. In fact a hostel, just constructed in the front of theses famous graffitis, wanted to use them to raise the rent. So it’s a memory of Berlin!

As a technique I applied wash drawing (ink & water). And as artistic tools I used for this illustration:

• a sketchbook (Watercolour Paper “Montval”, Format 30 x 30 cm -11,8″ x 11,8″-, 300 g/m2 -140 lb.in2-)
• a calligraphic pen (“Pilot Parallel Pen”- 2.4 mm)
• 2 paint brushes (fine and medium)
• dry pastels

I was sitting front of the big wall of graffitis, on the other side of this nomansland. I needed one hour for this illustration.
A typical place, made in Berlin, where these are dying out. But thanks to this urban sketch you have a souvenir of this graffiti.

On the right of the postcard Cuvrystr. we see a man with a chain and 2 watches : the businessman pressed” would it be chained to Berlin in this hidden space?
This illustration is also on my blog “Traversée d’Encres”.

Blu is the pseudonym of an Italian artist who conceals his real identity. He was born in Senigallia. He lives in Bologna and has been active in street art since 1999. The street artist worked in Germany on many occasions between 2006 and 2009, mostly in Berlin, and always around Cuvrystraße in a multi-ethnic neighborhood called Kreuzberg. Thanks to his participation in several of the festivals “Backjump” and “Planetprozess,”he had the opportunity to create some of his works.
