Wais just completed his first of 2 murals in Russia. We don’t have much information about the project but Russian artist Wais painted this large scale abstract Mural installation. Wais who is known for his colorful and perfectly rendered 3d style used a similar approach when painting this mural. Instead of a composition based on letter form Wais focused on a similar but more abstract approach. The scale of the mural enables wais to enter a larger conversation with the public space it is painted in. By transforming side of the building Wais engages the space with color and form, the scale and nonrepresentational element of the work sparks new conversations with the viewer. What might have been in the past a letter based mural seen as graffiti and a nuisance is now seen as an improvement to its surroundings. Impressive installation all around.
