“Execution is different for me mostly in terms of physicality. Painting a wall, depending on the size and logistics, demands way more from your body than painting a canvas or on paper at a studio.But for me, the biggest difference concerns the fact that when you paint a wall outside you are painting something that belongs to a certain social...

“Before painting legal murals I thought that my art was basically liked by young audiences – the ones who are my biggest fans on Instagram or couples who buy my prints for their first home. After painting murals, I found out that they bring smiles and appreciation from older folk too, and from very different social classes. Visibility is really...

“One of the biggest difference is the physical aspect. While it is definitely more tiring, there’s just something very soothing, honest and humbling about being faced with a huge wall armed with only a couple of spray cans. It’s quite a therapeutic and self-reflective experience, similar to something one would experience when climbing a mountain. There’s also the excitement and...

“Colouring is a very important part of the work. When I make a design on a computer I am satisfied with the colours, but if I print or paint on a large scale, I need to deal with some changes. Visibility is another problem. Sometimes the smaller details become important at a bigger size and I need to pay more...

Plastered 8 — Beijing, China
“We do pop artwork so it has to be fairly obvious — and we like playful, naughty-fun stuff. With a larger format you get to tell a bigger story and you need to work hard on the details and add in a few surprises so that the people who see it can have a bit of fun exploring the artwork....
Xoana Herrera — Los Angeles, USA
“On paper I feel I have more options where I can explore combinations of tones, lighting and also texture, while on a mural you have to be very selective and think about legibility. There are other factors at play too, like the ambient light, the wall material, whether it’s a bit reflective or not, etc. On the other hand, it...
EJSMONDT — Poznań, Poland
“On a wall, weather conditions are crucial, and the surface is different — a hard or uneven wall influences the technique and manner of painting. Making large-format paintings is also a physical strain, on top of the risk of working at height. I prefer to use a scaffolding, despite the fact that it blocks the visibility. As for the choice...
Studio Tuta — Patrizio Anastasi & Alice Lotti — Turin, Italy
“The substantial difference between making a work on paper and a work on a wall is that the latter lives in a contextual spatiality, in a pre-existing environment. The choice of colours and shapes very often must enter into symbiosis with the surrounding environment and architecture. The execution varies in accordance with the space, proportionally when the space is larger even...
