Street Artist Bikismo Paints an Unbelievable Metallic Dog Mural during Art Basel Miami Beach

Metallic-Dog-Mural-0

Street artist Bikismo from Puerto Rico ended Art Basel Week with a bang thanks to his shiny new mural in Wynwood. Part of the RAW Project (Re-imagining the Arts in Wynwood), this piece sits on a wall of the Jose De Diego Middle School and depicts a playful metallic dog with its butt in the air. With absolute insane level of detail, the dog’s body resembles reflections on sculptures by the likes of Anish Kapoor’s Cloud Gate in Chicago and Jeff Koons’ Rabbit, making it easy to forget this one is done entirely in spray paint on a flat surface. Each section was painted in the way tattoo artists would paint hyperrealistic portraits. For more of Bikismo’s work, visit his Instagram.
