StreetWorks: Pedestriart Urban Art Project

The "Pedestriart" urban art project has taken over the Midtown Art Park. Apparently it's important for everyone to know that grasshopper 69's are strictly prohibited. Local artist Leonel Matheu uses his own iconography to make artistic statements for the consumption of passing foot traffic. Several big art fairs including, SCOPE and PhotoMiami are setting up tents just a couple blocks south of the park, so it should get plenty of foot traffic. Here are some shots of the work.

Local artist Leonel Matheu uses his own icons to make signs for bikers, dogwalkers, and picnic eaters. Several big art fairs including, SCOPE and PhotoMiami are setting up tents just a couple blocks south of the park, so it should get plenty of foot traffic. Here are some shots of the work:
