Art: Escif's wall terrorists have been spotted somersaulting across Spain

Date
12 June 2013

Making a change from the drain-diving that we picked him up for last summer, this cheeky little masked man has now been spotted somersaulting, bolt-cutting, spray-painting, karate-kicking and mock surrendering across the wall of this windowless façade in Villarreal, Spain. Valencia-based street artist Escif’s latest mural, The Enlightened Vandalism, has the inky, uniformed figures we know and love up to all kinds of mischief. Don’t dismiss the illustrations though; charming though the little criminals are, Escif’s continuing Wall Terrorism project speaks volumes about the necessity of social commentary in the current political climate.
