Street Art NYC in Rome’s Quadrado Neighborhood with: Beau Stanton, Dilka Bear, Maupal, Ron English, Veks Van Hillik and Mr. Thoms

The following post is by Houda Lazrak, a contributor to StreetArtNYC and an M.A. candidate in Museum Studies at NYU:

The MURo Project, the Museum of Urban Art of Rome, is a mural initiative whose goal is to rejuvenate the streets of the largely working-class Quadrado neighborhood on the Eastern outskirts of Rome. Artists who have beautified the district include local, as well as international, ones. By referencing a map available online on MURo’s website, I navigated through the streets and found several of these works in hidden and unexpected locations. What follows are a few:

Kazakhstan native Dilka Bear

Italian artist Maupal

New York-based Ron English

French artist Veks Van Hillik 

Rome-based Mr. Thoms
