\"Monumental<\/p>\n

Murals by Agostino Iacurci<\/a> bring drab buildings to life in bold jewel tones, playful patterns, color blocks, and symmetry. Whether painting directly onto bricks and plaster or designing immense fabric sheaths to cover construction scaffolding, the artist’s vibrant compositions enliven street corners and urban thoroughfares.<\/p>\n

Iacurci often emphasizes geometric patterns, flora, classical vases, and niches that hold symbolic objects or figures.
