The stunning image featured above, “Botanical Plus,” was painted in Hells Kitchen by the Italian muralist Fabio Petani. Created in collaboration with the nonprofit YOURBAN 2030, it was fashioned with Airlite, a special eco-paint that reduces pollotion. Several more images of nature-inspired street art follows:

Currently on view at the corner of Underhill Avenue and Saint Johns Place is “What’s Your Sign?” — a captivating series of murals celebrating our Zodiac signs. The image featured above, a whimsical mix of all of our astrological signs, was fashioned by Rio de Janeiro-born, Brooklyn-based artist Barbtropolis.  A small selection of additional Zodiac murals — painted under the curatorial direction of Jeff Beler — follow:

Located at 701 Washington Avenue and Clark Place in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, Washington Walls continues to host a wondrously diverse array of murals. We recently visited its current iteration, strikingly curated by community resident and leader Jeff Beler. The ingeniously fashioned mural/installation featured above is the work of Brooklyn-based Humble, who had earlier been immersed in the Richmond, Virgina art scene. What follows are several more images of murals that we captured last week:
