Massive mural in Pudong
Print Edition
A giant outdoor mural featuring a group of itinerant animals has joined Shanghai’s growing collection of street artwork. The mural was created on the side of a six-story residential building on Pudian Road in Pudong New Area, not far from Lujiazui, by Spanish artist Antonio Donat.
The mural took 10 days to complete, and was finished on Tuesday afternoon.
The creatures in the mural are meant to be a group of traveling musicians, according to Donat, who goes by the pseudonym Dulk.
“I saw a picture of the place. I saw it as an area where people come and go, and it’s moving all the time,” explained Dulk. “I wanted to do a group of characters walking, but... you should look at them and think ‘what’s happening?’”
The mural is part of an art project launched by Nippon Paint China to enliven urban spaces and promote images of childcare and wildlife protection.
Artists from all over the world, including Canada, Belgium and Switzerland, have been invited to take part in the project. All expenses are covered by Nippon Paint China.
According to officials from neighborhood where the mural is located, Nippon first contacted them about a year ago. They say local residents agreed to the mural in half-an-hour.
