WOLF
400 x 300 cm
Unusual animal characters constructed out of worm-like shapes are the signature of the artist Weedzor. He started with human-looking characters on paste-ups in 2007 but progressed relatively quickly to the size and visual language he is using at the moment. In the beginning, his paste-ups were less than one metre in height, with relatively few colours. but then he moved to producing larger and more colourful ones until he reached murals that are several metres tall and bursting with bright colours. Parallel to this, he has been constantly working on a series of stickers, which he has attached to metal surfaces all over the city. Therefore, his approach has been very interesting I that he was going ‘bigger’ even when he was going ‘smaller’. In 2019, he painted a 17m high mural for the Runaway festival, but he was never willing to give up on stickers as a grassroots way of getting up. His mural is just one of 11 large murals that have been made since 2016 when the Runaway Festival was initiated by the local street artist Pijanista in Bežanijska Kosa, which is slightly removed from the city centre.
