C215 (Christian Guémy)

I would love to see Northeastern University invite Christian Guémy over to do a mural. I think his work would fit right in with the likes of Jef Aerosol and El Mac, who they’ve already had over to do major pieces.

I first encountered his work in the Ghetto in Rome in 2009 and I’ve been an admirer of his work since. I’d love to see one of his cats here on the streets of Boston.

Here are some shots I’ve captured over the years.

This is on the Street Art Tour- One of the Most Visible Pieces of Graffiti/Street Art in Boston History

Where are U now

This was one of the Justin Bieber “reveals his track listing in graffiti/street art commissions around the world” pieces. KEM5 and DEME5 did the work and, in addition to being able to do one of the most seen pieces in Boston history, I’ve always hoped they made a pile of cash for the work. Those guys are really good.

As for the visibility of this versus other pieces, I imagine that more people saw the Giant of Boston in person, but the Bieber piece would have gotten in front of a hell of a lot of fans in a very short time on Twitter/Instagram/Facebook.
