Street Art in Zeiten von Corona
DISTANCE, HOPE AND BUNNIES | Ben Apache | Wien, Österreich | Zwei mysteriöse Figuren gehen in verschiedene Richtungen. Eine wird von einer Pestmaske geschützt, die andere sucht in der Natur Hilfe gegen das Virus.
WASH YOUR HANDS | Deadbeat Hero | Wien, Österreich | Noch einer von Deadbeats verrückten Robotern, der uns hier wie wild (oder spöttisch?) ans Händewaschen erinnert.
CHEERS | Gnasher Royston | Grossbritannien | Ein wunderbar ironisches Bild, in dem die Flasche mit leckerem Corona-Bier wie eine Phiole mit dem Virus dargestellt wird. Die Typografie von „Cheers“ erinnert an die Sitcom aus dem amerikanischen Fernsehen.
NO PANIC | Henrique ’EDMX’ Montanari | Sao Paula, Brasilien | Übergross, ironisch und lustig. Wenn die Kinder und sogar deren Teddys Gasmasken tragen, darf man sich ruhig Sorgen machen.
IT’S NOT YOU, IT’S ME. | iHeart Vancouver Kanada | Ein typisch witziges, ironisches Bild von iHeart, das an Garbo erinnert. Das Kind scheint die auferlegte Isolation bedächtig, unbeeindruckt und positiv hinzunehmen.
JE SEME ATOUT VENT | Laureth Sulfate | Lyon, Frankreich | Eine clevere Umsetzung des Logos der klassischen Larousse-Wörterbücher. Laureths elegante und dennoch düstere Figur sät Corona­viren statt Weisheit.
EVERYDAY HEROES | Sid | Kanton Waadt, Schweiz | Ein Wandgemälde für das medizinische Personal an vorderster Front. Sids Models schauen uns intensiv, intelligent und bei aller Sorge äusserst positiv an.
BLACK PLAGUE | Suhaib al Attar | Amman, Jordanien | Eine grossartige Darstellung eines Pestdoktors aus dem 17. Jahrhundert, mit Steampunk­Schnabelmaske und viktorianischem Hut. Die Umgebung macht es umso bemerkenswerter.
ALL THE TACOS | Wrdsmth | Hollywood, Los Angeles, USA | Wrdsmths Gefühle lassen uns immer lächeln. Wie wir wünscht er sich sehnlichst, dass es endlich vorbei isl.

The shittier the situation, the greater the scope for something new. This applies to both nature and humans, and the latter react with creativity to the forced break that the virus gives them. Street artists step out of the shadows and spray their thoughts on the wall: plague doctors, royal slogans, satire in its most colorful form. In “Street Art in Times of Corona”, Xavier Taples brings together the 50 best graffiti that make us smile even in a situation where there is not much left to laugh about.

It’s a strange time: empty streets, 2-meter distance, no hugs, no kisses, no togetherness. While many feel powerless, the pandemic is acting as a catalyst for street artists: they are spraying their thoughts on the walls. In “Street Art in times of Corona. 50 Statements by Graffiti Artists” contains the 50 most impressive works by well-known artists and new faces who express themselves in pictures and slogans. Xavier Taples, “Street Art in times of Corona. 50 statements by graffiti artists”, Midas, ca. 22.-
