'Recycling Kingdom' by Rustam Qbic - Napier Murals (2)

Napier, New Zealand

 

Rustam Qbic's large scale mural titled “Recycling Kingdom”, for Seawalls Projects by Pangeaseed Foundation in Napier, New Zealand. Slightly stepping away from his signature imagery and color palette, the Russian artist painted an environmentally focused image that is paying tribute to human’s relationship and dependence on our oceans.

Using spray paint and acrylic paint Qbic quickly worked his way through this meaningful piece depicting 3 children on top of a large whale. With one of the children cleaning the oil from the ocean’s surface, while others are building a shelter on a large mammal, the image is a metaphor for the major environmental problems we’re leaving for future generations. As usual with his work, the mural carries a positive feel to it, showing the unity of different nationalities and races, as well as unity with the nature. The idea of this work is to raise awareness of this concealed egoism which we are used not to notice until is too late. (from Street Art News)
