More Amsterdam Street Art


http://www.fakestencils.com

The silhouette of the young girl and boy by Fake were everywhere. I like the pair silhouetted against the setting sun framed in in black with the inner frame blurred around the edges rather than being sharpe. Am curious why the girl's flowers are bigger than the boy's. I also like the glossiness of the black frame.



This stencil is pretty basic but I liked the intentional gold paint drips of the cherub with the imploring face. The door is matte merely from age as indicated by the scratches and dings in the wood frame.



This one is only visible from the canal and is across from the Renzo Piani designed Nemo Science Center. Having lived in the Southern US for so long, the feeling of being invaded by insects is a constant so that was my first thought.


This one is also only visible from the canal. I like how the tiny window on the upper right fits into the arrow so well. Did they spray around it or did someone have scrub their window clean of the paint?




I liked the serpent painted on this goldenrod-colored wall with two bikes parked in front of the wall. I know the color of Goldenrod from when it was one of my Crayola crayons.


This wall had an amalgamation of several different works. Nice detail on the catbird with shading and such. The quintessential la ira stencil with the bubble blower and drips.

la ira + RFC - la ira has quite  bit around Amsterdam. You see this skull with the CMYK diagram of blue,  yellow and red around a lot.  http://monmort.blogspot.com

Am researching the artists' name and putting them up as I find them.
