And the building he painted has basically destroyed his artwork. You have to go back to 2014 to see it in all it’s glory! https://maps.app.goo.gl/eZrT8waMFtwB7qud7

That was a really good piece but what replaced it by Bordalo II, made out of old junk is exceptional!

Yes, but only because Zilon’s work was tagged and covered over. It’s a shame we can’t keep nice artwork sometimes.

Zïlon chose to work mostly in forms subject to alteration or obliteration. He must have known when he painted that building that the owner, or a future owner, was bound to eventually change or demolish it. I think we have to accept that as part of his philosophy as an artist.

Zïlon was also known for painting over other people’s work, so fair game.
