Giant murals on the ground by Australian Kitt Bennett
Wall painting has long been no surprise to anyone. But the images on the pavement, and even huge ones, are a curiosity. Australian Kitt Bennet paints sidewalks, highways, docks and parking lots, creating giant murals. You can appreciate them only from a bird's eye view, because some works occupy hundreds of square meters.
Kitt Bennet creates a variety of images, but most often they are people or skeletons sprawled on the ground. They are like giants that have fallen from the sky onto the streets of Melbourne, and frozen in different poses. It is obvious that the work on such horizontal frescoes is a very laborious and lengthy process. The artist uses large buckets of paint and rollers, as well as chalk to create rough outlines. A quadrocopter helps him in his work, providing an overview of the "canvas".
To make the images look more realistic, Bennet plays with shadows and highlights to create the illusion of volume. The paintings of the Australian are breathtaking, it is a pity that, standing on the ground, you will not be able to see them in all their glory. You can stomp on another Kitt masterpiece for weeks and still not understand the beauty of his work. But it is worth climbing to a height of 100-200 meters and what you see will definitely be remembered for a long time.
The paintings of a freelance street artist may seem strange to the older generation. But young Australians always admire them, as Bennett feels the rhythm of the streets. In his work, there are often objects of modern youth culture: BMX bikes, roller skates, skateboards, Converse sneakers.
If you liked what Kitt Bennet does, then you will surely like the realistic graffiti of the British Smug One.
