Wynwood Walls

I have always heard of people I know going to Wynwood to see all the walls but I have never actually experienced it myself. I went for the first time yesterday and I was blown away by the talent of the artist who create these works. To me it is like a mix between graffiti and street art. Wynwood was created by Tony Goldman in 2009. It has really transformed that neighborhood to an incredible art center. Its incredible that on every wall you look there is a cool painting. Almost all the walls are covered in something.

 Tony Goldman had a vision to revitalize the what was then warehouse district of Miami. He thought that the buildings with no windows would be a perfect blank canvas for artist to create massive murals. He started with a couple of buildings first then explored out more. Goldman wanted to revitalize the movement of graffiti/street art and he presented into a way no one has seen it before. Now the Wynwood Walls bring some of the world's greatest artists to create on these empty canvas.

Artist: Ron English
This one reminds me on a character from
Dragonball Z. I like how the artist painted on the bottom to give it a 3D feel. 

This one is really out there, it definitely is not my favorite. It looks like some mythical creature eating a mushroom. There is also a mosquito looking creature. 

I enjoyed this one a lot. It contains many of pearls and jewels alongside bottles of alcohol. It really comes together nicely. 

This one stood out the most. It is one of the first one that catches your eye when you walk in. In the center is as a large image of Tony Goldman. It also features famous people like Jimi Hendrix, and Martin Luther King.

To me this is the most impressive. This artist actually chiseled small pieces out of the wall to create this wondeful image of Andre the Giant.
