“Hey Faran,
These pieces were made by Andrea Michaelsson, who is one half of the very cool Catalan street art duo Btoy.
Although a lot of Barcelona’s graffiti and street art was destroyed when the government decided to crack down on it, Andrea’s retro chic portraits of starlets and beauties can still be found all over the city, as well as other parts of Europe.
Her interpretation of early twentieth century American fashion and cinema has an ironic European edge that really enhances the sophistication and glamour, and the urban grittiness of the surroundings really makes them come alive.
