Soul of the Wall

Italian artist Eron's painted walls are ghostly in their form and function. The artist's can-control technique allows him to create intensely ethereal and expressive images. His artwork seeks to translate a structure's memories, the figurative work blooming out of the smoke from a grate or hidden within an old water stain down the side of a building. There is a deep history embedded into his murals — their subjects comment on local events, often touching on migration and injustice. Eron's Soul of the Wall series haunts the buildings he paints; in Stavanger, he took this opportunity to address the city's deep ties to the oil industry.
