Playfully Vibrant Abstract Murals

For more than a decade, Berlin-based artists Lynn Lehmann and Dennis Gärtner, a.k.a. Zebu, have been transforming otherwise mundane walls and surfaces into vivid, geometric paintings. Moving between patterns and representational abstraction, the duo draw on their adjacent work in illustration and graphic design to create eye-popping compositions. Indeed, much of their practice is studio-based, so murals introduce broader possibilities in a variety of settings. “There’s something special about being able to interrupt someone’s everyday routine with an unexpected visual surprise,” the pair says.

Currently, Zebu is experimenting with a more intuitive approach to murals as a complement to their method if planning extensively beforehand. “It’s been a really exciting and surprising experience that has taught us to trust the process more and brought back a lot of the fun of painting.” See more on Zebu’s Instagram.

I love to share artists that you might not know of, even though they are very good and popular. Kate is on one of my sub-stacks and I love how she draws her purchases, and has even put out a collection in a book.

The bigger purchases this month are a tattoo (my third) to commemorate the building (a ladder), no longer driving a Honda Fit (Clifton drives it now), and joining the Subaru coven of former Fit drivers (hi Briar and Kat). I miss my Fit, but I love my seat warmers, and I love having a car that’s not from 2013 (hello, technology!).
