Spray paint on wall.
Carlisle, England.
Project for Landmark street art
Tymon de Laat.

This wall was painted on the old fire station venue in Carlisle UK.

The reference for this wall is a photo I took on my last trip to Mexico. The generous Merida Fire squad rolled out for this photo shoot and model Julian Silvestre dressed up in full gear. Merida is located on the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico and is the heartland of the Mayan culture.
A big thanks goes to Ben and Stephen for the great care.

De Laat started painting murals and canvases, often based on his own photographs of the people he met during his travels. He exaggerates the natural lines in their faces, and fills the spaces that appear between those swirling lines with swaths of vivid color. The linework and color palette he applies in that way, are a means of translating his memories of Latin America to visual imagery. The food, the architecture, the clothes, and particularly his respect for the culture of indigenous peoples; it’s all in there, as de Laat transitions it over to enliven drab Western concrete.
