Madrid, Spain

Touted in the media as “Madrid’s Banksy,” the artist SpY’s work primarily consists of “the playful re-appropriation of urban elements that he replicates or transforms” as street art installations. His underlying attempt is to “break the automaton-like inertia of the urban dweller” by means of surprise, irony, and humour. Lots more here…

Images, from top: Cow; Lazyman’s Rubic Cube (available in six colours); Street Wars; Gardening.

(Thanks to Raquel Rivera [who I recently met at OFFF 2009 Oieras] for the introduction to SpY).
