'System Collapse' by Zosen

After close observation of this simplistic yet involved style adapted by street artist Zosen I could not help thinking about children’s books. Back in childhood if I could not understand the text I would visually imagine what was going on there whilst studying character's motions.

In this case the dazzling depicted characters packed on plain white canvas carry a message about current situations in our everyday lives, the economical state. Fairly interesting to follow and explore how Zosen, the artist, reflected the theme in his own unique way while mixing acrylic and spay paint.

If the first couple pieces do not expose the message then stepping couple steps backwards the colorful puzzle does undercover an certain mood.

The sense of vivid letters mixed on piece called ‘HA LEGEDADO EL MOMENTO DE…’ implies frank if not profound clues. Another piece called ‘Babylon’ (which in generally people would think of discrimination against Afro American race) does not need a lot of studying either.

Also worth checking out the range of ANIMAL BANDIDO clothes and accessories made in collaboration by street artist Zosen and Claudia Font; gloves, pull-over hats and T-shirts are few to point out in this innovative ‘Futurama’ alike collection.

Overall the atmosphere in this white cube space has been kept in good spirits with diverse range of colours and multiple characters, not to mention the individual style of typography. Even though in total the reality may not seem that lively to everyone.

After getting to know the artist’s background as an active street artist in Barcelona background, I am eager to visit Barcelona again and follow the vibrant and colorful street art scene there.
