YOLA / POLAND / POLONIA / "RENAISSANCE" STREET ART


Molto interessante e visualmente affascinante il lavoro di Yola, da Varsavia, Polonia. Yola crea i suoi lavori ispirandosi alle pose delle opere rinascimentali utilizzando persone proveniente da un centro diurno di accoglienza. Il risultato รจ sorprendente.


Very interesting and fascinating the work of Yola, from Warsaw, Poland. Yola creates the art taking inspirations form the renaissance frescos and paintings using people from a local community day centre. The result is astounding.


Yola writes:
"Inviting the folks from the day centre was supposed to be a slightly subversive act: as if entering a haven for Fallen Angels, all aged 60 or over, who end up in a day centre because they can’t cope with life in society. The society they contributed to throughout their lives and which now pays them back a pittance, not enough for a decent living. To be honest I was expecting human misery and what I found instead was a bunch of happy people."
