Sten Lex: poetic lines
Sten and Lex are among the most internationally renowned street artists in the world. The Italian duo has developed a unique technique, the halftone stencil, which allows them to create poetic and powerful pieces influenced by op-art.

Sten Lex consider their process to be part of the artwork. Not only are these artworks majestic, they own a hidden magic which reveals itself with time. The artwork mutates and changes due to the weather, until at the end it reveals its true self.
The Auditorio Luis Elizondo has been a very important center for cultural productions since it opened its doors in 1980. It is the place where the Presidential Debates take place every election period, and where the Metropolitan Opera broadcasts its concerts live from NYC.

With 1,952 sq. m. of white and black painting and paper stripes, this mural is considered to be the largest stencil artwork in the world. The pattern and composition of the lines simulate a digital code, a reminder of how scientific and technological developments are changing our aesthetics.
