Light touch with concrete ideas
Making his third visit to the Dali House and again leaving a trail of chalkdust everywhere he goes is Julian Beever, the British title holder in pavement painting.
See the previous posts on this Warhol of the walkways here and here.
Once again thanks to Terri in California who really ought to be emailing me more often, but I forgive her because she’s such an aficionado of urban artwork.
Fantastic ofcourse.. wonder how long the art piece lasts in the open..
Longer than the street cleaners would like. Beever and his ilk use special greasy crayons so that the art withstands at least one good rainstorm.
Wonder why they won’t use oil paint which may have lasted a couple of years or so.. but I guess they won’t want the artwork to hang around faded - and there may be city regulations preventing this.
