Upfest Bristol 2015 - Europe's largest Street Art & Graffiti festival
29 July 2015
'Warld', large mural on the theme of war, is a work created by the Sardinian graffiti artist Manu Invisible at the Bristol UpFest street art festival.
The graffiti, painted on a brick wall of 2.5 meters in height by 8 metres long, depicts the planet Earth from outer space: the Earth is imploding in on itself towards its core along with all inhabitants on its surface during the collapse. The implosion is a metaphor for war and casualties caused by the conflict. The title 'Warld' is a play on the words combining 'War' and 'world'. It was painted on Greville Road, next to the 'Hen & Chicken', a very popular pub and nightlife venue on Bristol's North Street.
Manu Invisible is the first graffiti writer from Sardinia to attend the English event as a guest of the festival: his experimental approach and multifaceted art, unique use of light and color and unmistakable style convinced the organizers to invite him.
Manu Invisible has created work in a growing number of places around Europe: Sardinia, Spain, Milan, Berlin, Bratislava. In Milan, he worked on the creation of a large mural in Piazza delle Donne Partisan resistance to the initiative in collaboration with the municipal administration.
The name of the artist is also known for the positive outcome of a court case: accused of vandalism, he was acquitted by the court in Milan because his illegal graffiti in the street was considered a work of art by the judge. Recently in Cagliari he painted the facade of the 'Foscolo' school in collaboration with the school board and the municipality of Cagliari.
