Shadowy Figure Street Art

Artist 'SUSO33' Created This Squiggly Mural in Spain

— December 6, 2013 — Art & Design
A talented street artist who goes by the name of 'SUS033' created this mural in Spain. This artwork is simple yet striking. It features hoards of shadowy figures huddling together on the side of a building. When seen up close, these tiny dark figures are just black squiggly lines, made to look like little people.

Hundreds of mysterious little shapes swarm together on the side of this building, each of whom cast a faint shadow. This massive mural is quite eye-catching. If only one of these little figures was painted on a wall it wouldn't have the same effect, but it's impossible to ignore so many of them. This could be a metaphor for people. It's easy to ignore one individual, but it's hard to ignore an entire crowd.

This artwork is thought-provoking and extremely intriguing.
