Spy, Street Art and Urban Installations

View all 18 Photos

SPY is an urban artist from Madrid who sees things not for what they are but for their possibilities. In a light hearted spirit, he has taken ordinary objects and given them artistic flare that just might make you crack a smile. His silly notions are amusing raking leaves into a perfect circle shape or putting high security measures on a pile of bricks.  He has challenged us to wonder what the purpose might be in a soccer field curved to form a half pipe. And temptation lurks to attempt that exaggerated basket ball hoop stories high.
