Walking on the street, looking at the green vines climbing on the walls of the buildings on both sides, I always feel very poetic and picturesque, and I don’t want to think about practical issues such as whether it will harm the main body of the building and subsequent maintenance, artist Mona Caron conducted He created a series of wild grass murals, using common roadside weeds such as dandelions and giant nettles as themes, and painted them on the walls. Although the romantic atmosphere is not enough, it unexpectedly adds another scene to the street.
The reason why Caron chose wild grasses as the main subject is mainly to pay tribute to their strong vitality. As long as there is soil, water and sunshine, no matter how harsh the environment, how narrow the space, how many tiny cracks it is, You can all see these plants working tirelessly and unflinchingly to grow upward. Perhaps because of this, Carons murals are huge works, often occupying most of the wall space, and particularly highlight the strong will and resilience of plants.
Caron’s wild grass mural series can be found in San Francisco, where he currently lives, as well as in his native Switzerland and India.
