Untitled* (The Pseudo-Advertising Series)
From Alexandros:
"I am dealing with a new series called “Pseudo-Advertising”, where I focus upon the relationship between today’s muralism and the contemporary outdoor advertising.
Combining imagery from both fields and creating works that could be described either as ads or street art pieces,
my main goal is to create a dialogue about what does or does not make murals distinctive.
The latest piece "Untitled" is the 3rd part of the series and is located in the OCT Loft area of Shenzhen, China".

"Perfect. A piece of "pseudo-advertisement" that neglects beauty and offers a ''product'', which is broken and wild. It can be neither sold nor bought; it smiles, screaming its perfection out loud. The magnificent world of advertisements, smiling faces, beautiful bodies, heavenly vacations, give their place to two crumpled girls who, ultimately happy, praise imperfection".
This was painted as part of
the STROKE.03 festival.
