SpY

We’ve covered a few urban reinvention projects, Guerrilla Gardening and Aakash Nihalani come to mind. Madrid street artist SpY has been making the Spanish laugh with is comical, ironic works involving surreal extensions of what we find commonplace. A basketball net 50 feet high, escaping signs, graffiti for the blind, balloon bouquets for cows, and his tasteful redecoration of statues are all part of SpY’s vision of how the world should be. He is the kind of artist you want to come to your city because he just makes things fun. The good news is he’s traveling — a couple projects in London and China — so keep your eyes peeled for anything that makes you laugh. To be a little more specific check out his works on the newly launched website, SpY.
