Video: Banksy is not alone: five of the best autumn works by street artists

Suso 33, Borondo, Christiana Guemi, Frank Shepard "Obey", Pixel Pancho x Vhils are six street artists whose work is worth seeing live. Unfortunately, no one has canceled the visa regime, and going to Senegal just to find a mural in a small African town is not the most prudent decision. But we have great photos.
This fall has been a real treat for street art lovers. Undoubtedly, the most striking event was the October art tour through the streets of New York Banksy (Banksy) - a notorious and very mysterious graffiti artist. Every day throughout the month, Banksy delighted fans with a new job. The project was named Better In Than Out and received extensive coverage in the electronic and paper press.
But other street artists did not sit idly by either. Therefore, we have selected for you five fresh works of street art, which are in no way inferior to the works of the famous Englishman.
1. Suso33 - Madrid, Spain
As part of a municipal project to improve the urban space, one of the most famous and no longer very underground Spanish artists Suso 33 painted a wall in the Tetuan district of Madrid. Very simple in technique, but brilliant in composition, the mural consists of many schematic human figures, casting long shadows, and, at first glance, grouped without a visible system. But if you move further, it becomes clear that together they make up another huge silhouette.
2. Borondo - London, England
The young Spanish artist Borondo spent several days in London working on a diptych called Adam & Eve. Borondo combines street art with the sensual aesthetics of the Pre-Raphaelites and the expressive technique of modernist artists. The appearance of "Adam and Eve" on Old Street is an initiative of the creative team RexRomae.
3. C215 - Senegal
C215 is the pseudonym of the French artist Christian Guemy, dubbed "French Banksy" by the English newspaper Metro. This year he traveled to West Africa to present his work to the streets of Senegal. Guemi's first stops were the cities of Sali and Mbour, to which the artist presented several of his favorite subjects as a souvenir.
4. Pixel Pancho x Vhils - Lisbon, Portugal
As part of the Underdogs Public Art project, the popular Italian street artist Pixel Pancho, in collaboration with the Portuguese Alexandre Farto, known to the art community as Vhils, completed two murals in Lisbon. One of them is an image of a giant robot "decomposing" into cheerful pink flowers. The second work is a diptych, which combines the Portuguese's love for portraits and images of intelligent machines that are iconic for the Italian.
5. Shepard Fairey - Malaga, Spain
Finally, a guest star at the Malaga Street Art Festival - American Frank Shepard Fairey aka Obey - donated a huge mural to the city on the facade of the Garcia Lorca School, near the Center for Contemporary Art. It took Shepard's team 3 full days to finish painting "Peace and Freedom" ("Paz Y Libertad") over 12 kilometers long.
The world of graffiti is endlessly diverse. All our autumn heroes are engaged in figurative art, but Guido Bisagni is called one of the largest representatives of abstract graffiti.

Rogvolodovich, not Rurikovich: Why Prince Yaroslav the Wise did not love the Slavs and did not spare his brothers
In the official historiography, Yaroslav the Wise for a long time appeared to be an almost sinless ruler, the creator of legality in the Russian lands. In our time, he is already accused of sending several of his brothers to the next world in order to occupy the Kiev throne. But was it only the desire for power that drove Prince Yaroslav? If you look at the history of his family, then everything that happens is more like revenge … to his father. Bloody revenge for bloody atrocity

Night. Street. Lantern Autumn nostalgia in the works of Bob Barker
Cynics will probably grumble that rain and autumn are not romance at all, but a gloomy and slushy time, when you just want to sleep and eat, and wrap yourself in a warm blanket, hiding from the cold and dampness. But you and I know that "there is an initial short, but wondrous time in autumn", and that no one other than poets and artists can better convey the same lyrical mood for which romantics love autumn. There are enough such paintings in the painting of the modern artist Bob
