Ten years after Blu first came to fame for his radically creative and often illegal street art, he returned to Italy and put up this tables-turned piece along an overpass in Milan. Bikes don’t figure in much of Blu’s work; rather, his paintings are populated with dreamy, big-headed humanoids who interact with the landscape in whimsically subtle ways. But when they do, right on.

It’s well worth the time to drop into the rabbit hole that is Blu’s art. Start here–The Adventure Life covered one of his incredible time-lapse creations last November, calling it “animated street art that’s like acid without the neural damage”, then head on over to his website, where you can eyeball heaps more walls, sketchbooks, videos, and more. www.blublu.org.
