I Madonnari: May 26th -May 28th, 2012; XXVI Anniversary Italian Street Painting Festival

As Blog Now on streetpainting.tv covers the 2012 street painting festival season, we turn to the oldest running festival in the USA, the I Madonnari  Italian Street Painting Festival in Santa Barbara, CA.

Beginning in 1986 and founded by Kathy Koury who brought the concept of this festival from the International Street Painting Festival in Grazie Di Curtatone, Italy, the I Madonnari has been and remains a cornerstone in the US street painting community. This festival benefits the Childrens Creative Project, a nonprofit arts education program of the Santa Barbara County Education Office serving 50,000 children in 100 schools in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.  

The public in front of the Santa Barbara Mission where I Madonnari is held.

Looking forward to seeing 2012's new street paintings from I Madonnari!

If you are street painting this year, we want to hear from you.  Please send images for Blog Now on streetpainting.tv to add on an upcoming post.

Enjoy!

Festival Bella Via 2011: 'The Last Supper' Exhibition Street Painting

 

 

Today we wish to share our experiences watching the creation of the Festival Bella Via 2011 main exhibition piece 'The Last Supper' by Leonardo Da Vinci.

Led by Madonnaro Cuong Nguyen, with the artist team of Maestro Madonnaro Juandres Vera, (Madonnari Qualificati Category Winner, 2010),  Juan Carlos Romero from Cuba, a Madonnaro Qualificati Winner 2011, and Madonnaro Qualificati Miquel Lopez Lopez, the team reproduced this iconic artwork to the appreciation of the thousands of visitors in attendance.

 

A wide angle shot of 'The Last Supper' exhibition piece (2011) by the Festival Bella Via Team of Cuong Nguyen (lead), Juandres Vera, Juan Carlos Romero, and Miguel Lopez Lopez.

Blog Now on streetpainting.tv believes that the best part of the street painting is the creation of the art work itself although the pride in the completed work is a special one shared by the artists.  Here we have Cuong underway detailing the face of John.

Juandres Vera street painting the face of Jesus Christ, the focal point of 'The Last Supper' in terms of the subject and how all points (perspective) in the artwork are centered upon Him. 

Miguel Lopez Lopez (above), working on the bright fabric of Simon the Zealot.

The level of detail is critical in the successful execution of works such as 'The Last Supper' and Cuong Nguyen's exceptional talent and artistic reputation for portraiture brought beauty to their reproduction of the artwork (below).

 

 

Juandres focusing intently on street painting the robes of Christ with his artistic intensity, raising the image of Christ above all items in the work (below).

 

 

We are watching Miguel detailing around the head of Simon, bringing the figure out from the background colors.

Here are details of 'The Last Supper' moving from left to right (below), Bartholomew, James - Son of Alphaemus, and Andrew, Judas Iscariot, Peter ...

3D/AR chalk art and street art murals by Anthony Cappetto and Shawn McCann at Techfest 2012 - Mumbai, India

(Above) Anthony Cappetto posing with the just finished 'Cityscape' 3D chalk art at IIT Bombay's Techfest 2012 in Mumbai, India.  Look how bright the colors are when completed! You can also see binary code raining from the sky over the cityscape.

During the Holiday Season (New Year's), Shawn McCann and I (Anthony Cappetto) were invited to share our art with the 80,000 attendees of IIT Bombays Techfest 2012 in Mumbai, India.  We were both excited about the event and here is what we did:

Here is Shawn (above), posing proudly with the main wall (detail) he designed for Techfest, highlighting the IIT Bombay robot mascot in a 3D space.  Check out the world in binary code and a futuristic vehicle bursting through the 'Techfest'!

Anthony Cappetto (left of center) leading a group of IIT Bombay students in a 'chase' of the IIT Bombay Mascot over his newest 3D chalk art/animated AR piece 'Cityscape'. 

As blending 3D Chalk/AR art is a new way of combining traditional art and emerging technology is stll quite new, students at IIT Bombay were very excited to see this new art form.  Several hundred students posed and interacted in pictures with the mascot as well as animated birds which was great to do through Techfest 2012 over the three day event.

Meanwhile on the other side of the area, Shawn stops for a picture with the second wall mural !

It was great for us to do this unique project allowing us to bring our art works to the students at Techfest 2012 and hope to do so again in the future.  We took a moment to pose in front of this terrific mural that Shawn (at right) created here in Mumbai.
