# Seven-Storey Murals Artist 'Blu' Created a Huge Colorful Mural Across a Seven-Storey Building By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-08-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-mural References: [designfaves](http://www.designfaves.com/2015/08/street-artist-creates-colorful-7-story-mural) & [blublu.org](http://www.blublu.org) Italian street artist Blu created a colorful mural that cascades across a seven-storey building. The massive mural resembles a tangled thicket of vines that are engulfing the entire side of a cement building. The colorful mural begins as a dark red color near the roof and slowly transitions into orange, yellow, green and blue. This rainbow effect provides a delightful image that draws the viewer's eyes in a downward direction. While the mural looks quite simple from a distance, an intricate design becomes apparent as the viewer gets closer. This beautifully designed piece of street art was created as part of a neighborhood project called ‘Mammut.’ The goal for this project is to encourage creativity and bring new life to dreary pieces of vacant cityscapes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Large-scale Murals:** Opportunity for artists and businesses to collaborate on creating visually captivating murals on large buildings. - **Colorful Street Art:** Potential for artists to use vibrant colors and intricate designs in their street art to create visually stunning experiences for viewers. - **Community Art Projects:** Scope for initiating neighborhood projects that involve local artists to transform vacant spaces into vibrant and creative attractions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** Art businesses can explore opportunities to showcase large-scale murals and vibrant street art to attract public attention and engagement. - **Real Estate:** Real estate developers can leverage colorful murals as a way to revitalize and enhance the aesthetic appeal of their buildings. - **Tourism:** Tourism industry can promote community art projects as unique attractions to draw visitors and boost local economy. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tree-Integrated Mysterious Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tree-mural.md) - [Post-Pandemic Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lakwena-maciver.md) - [Glowing Movie Campaign Murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-mural.md) - [Bubblegum Street Art Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hubbabubbabuilding.md) - [Ultra-Colorful High-Density Residential Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdensity-residential-design.md) - [Optical Illusion Replica Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liberty-science-center.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [Confectionary Graffiti Murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jolly-rancher-gummie.md)
