Greetings friends, today I want to show new graffiti from the Brusnitsyn space. Last time I visited this space in the spring. In the past six months new drawings have appeared. Brusnitsyn is an old factory built in the 19th century. Now the old brick buildings, courtyards and embankment have been turned into a creative space.
I found new graffiti in the courtyard, in the passages between the old brick buildings. A portrait of a girl, a pink zebra, a light-engine aeroplane and a plaque with an inscription are what I saw during this walk. The text on the plaque reads, ‘You are doing very well. Take the keys to life.’
I love writing on walls - messages addressed to the casual traveller. It's like guessing from a book - when you open a book on a random page and read the first phrase you come across. A few years ago, a street artist did an entire project with messages that were calligraphed on rectangular sheets of whatman paper and mounted on city walls. Each of these messages stayed in its place for a very short time.
A similar idea is being implemented by a coffee shop. Near the entrance they have a sign with a slate board. In the morning, a new message is written on this board with chalk. These inscriptions are not too complicated usually, they are rather fun. Almost all the inscriptions on the walls disappear almost as quickly as they appear. A ceramic plaque with an inscription is one of the rare exceptions, it can stay there for quite a long time.
