In the process of globalization, cities are losing their individuality, houses and streets are becoming similar to each other. Street artists, as a rule, add variety to gray urban landscapes, their drawings become bright accents on a colorless canvas. Today we will tell you about the original street art by Iranian artist and designer Mehdi Ghadyanloo.
Mehdi Ghadyanloo is working hard to make the streets of his native Tehran more cheerful. With the support of the municipality, he assembled a team of artists, the Blue Sky Painters, and enthusiastically set about transforming concrete walls into real works of art.
The works of Mehdi Ghadyanloo often make passers-by smile: on one of the houses you can see a cyclist descending vertically down the wall, on the other - a guy flying with an armful of balloons, on the third - the city of the future, flying cars and motorcycles. Often the artist also uses nearby objects: the idea turned out to be successful to draw a cloud with rain drops that “fall” on a real tree.
The flight of the artist's imagination is practically limitless, all works are united by light themes. In total, Mehdi Ghadyanloo has already created more than a hundred drawings that now adorn the busy streets of Tehran. The author comments on his project in the following way: "I try to bring some kind of unity or, at least, bright colors to the blurry and smoky architectural appearance of the city."
