The new murals by Blu commemorate vegetarianism. This colossal mural is located on the rúa da Reverencia in Ordes, Spain, and Blue has created it for its DesordesCreativas festival.
Blu is an Italian artist who has made a statement by drawing a massive blender surrounded by animated fruits and vegetables. The characters are pictured running over to the crowd, clapping and cheering as the fruits and vegetables step up the ladder. Below the ladder is a whirling blender that will chop up the characters into a pulp.
Since 1999, Blu has been a street artist who is known for drawing political, sarcastic and dramatic graffiti paintings that cover massive surface areas. This hilarious and vegetarian-friendly mural promotes a meatless diet and a healthy lifestyle.
