First day of school

Polish duo Etam Cru is composed of Przemek Blejzyk aka Sainer, and Mateusz Gapski aka Bezt, who met while studying fine art in Lodz. Their dream-like and hyper clean murals are heavily saturated without being overwhelming. Often the pair incorporate references to Eastern European folklore and mysticism. Both members of Etam Cru have graffiti backgrounds and are a model example of how the urban art scene is an ever evolving crossover between forms of public art.

As the Nuart Festival is always celebrated just as Stavanger’s school-aged children return for a new year of learning, Etam Cru created this piece for the city, entitled “Back to School.”
