I found the website of the artist who created this work, but no information on the work itself. Apparently Maclaim travels to cities across Europe to paint what he calls the "finest photorealistic graffiti". I'm not sure I agree with the "finest" part, but I've certainly seen worse things on some of the walls of Berlin. What do you think of this work - fine or not so fine?
Monday's here again! Hope you had a great and relaxing weekend. For more murals, visit Monday Mural.
He does have some talent and it is much better than the usual graffiti I see!
ReplyDeletevery artistic, for sure!
ReplyDeleteThis does nothing for me, but ... Why do we need this stuff on walls all over town anyway? Maybe it's better than ads for toilet paper? Play any golf this weekend? I played this morning. Made par on the first three holes and then my golf clubs reset themselves and I went back to the usual! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is very bold in both form and color.
ReplyDeleteClicking on the photo to bring up the original size is the best way to view the mural. I have come to the conclusion that you are a darn good photographer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words, Andy!
DeleteWhile I wouldn't call it fine, it definitely has its own appeal! Great capture!
ReplyDeleteIt's not quite my taste, but it doesn't annoy me like tagging does.
ReplyDeleteNot bad. But how the hell can you have water in a net???
ReplyDeleteHow delightful to discover your interesting blog. Thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteALOHA from Honolulu

Well you are as very often not so much investigating about your shots. The artist is not "Ma' Claim" . This is the name of the graffiti artist group founded by Tasso. And this mural in Torstrasse is a team work of the group composed by Tasso, Akut,Rusk and Case, very talented and famous street painters. There are no waterdrops in the nets but diamonds !
ReplyDeleteI does think that he is a bit in the german körper culture, but as total not bad.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha... I didn't even think about the nudity! I guess I'm getting really used to the FKK mentality here. :)
DeleteThe outlines are a bit to dark to be photorealistic, but he's still pretty good. I'm not crazy about it, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a very intriguing image, it bit to much "men" in my opinion.....
ReplyDeleteKinda ugly if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteIt's good that is for sure, needed a long ladder for that though
ReplyDelete«Louis» takes a dim view of graffiti - period... He'll stop right there because he could easily go on a rant about it...
ReplyDeleteWell done, but ugly at the same time...
ReplyDeletei looked around his blog...he's very talented and it is very realistic!
ReplyDeleteInteresting perspectives in it - diamond merchants?
ReplyDeleteThere are no diamond merchants in the area... that I have seen anyway.
DeleteMy main reaction is that the composition is too small for the wall it's on. Still, it's fun to look at. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteThere are alot of exposed walls like this one around Berlin. After the war, not everything got built up again so it's nice to see some of those spaces "decorated" although this is not my favorite mural. :)
DeleteHow interesting it's considered "graffiti." The artist seems too have much more talent than that.
ReplyDeleteA big diamond in the net? How fortunate!
ReplyDeleteIt looks a bit like some of the statues at VIGELANDSPARKEN in Oslo.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I like it. We have nuart.no here, so I guess I am a bit critical about street art these days.
I can see that there are lots of work gone in to this and perhaps you will show us more later?
