NOBEL PRIZE

By Kobra

In 1895 the will of Swedish scientist Alfred Nobel established annual prizes to be awarded in chemistry, literature, peace, physics, and medicine and in 1968 Sweden’s central bank added a prize for economics. In addition to a monetary award each recipient receives a gold medallion. In 2014, invited to participate in the first No Limit Festival in Borås, Sweden, Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra honored perhaps the most influential person to come from Sweden with a five-story reproduction of the medallion. This anamorphic work—despite wrapping around two sides of a building the medallion appears to be perfectly round when viewed from a particular angle—looks out over the Viskan River from Södra Strandgatan.  @kobrastreetart  @nolimitboras  @nobelprize_org

“SWEDISH WILDLIFE”

By Dulk

“Dulk is a hungry and insatiable all terrain illustrator. Urban art, illustration and graphic design are his fields, his twisted imagination does the rest” says @wdwlls. Inspired by a fascination with watching birds, fish, dogs, and horses around his childhood home Antonio Segura Donat, aka Dulk, copied illustrations of exotic animals in his spare time. Applying his imagination to create imaginative visual stories with a touch that Borås, Sweden’s No Limit Festival calls “bizarre, burlesque and affectionate,” Dulk holds on to an innocent childlike viewpoint while also occasionally serving as a warning about environmental mismanagement. This visual tale was told on Södra Nybrogatan in Borås for No Limit 2015.  @dulk1  @nolimitboras
