Borondo recently spent some time in Barcelona, Spain where he was invited by the good lads from Open Walls Conference to create a new piece.
With this artwork entitled “Fer Lenya”, Borondo painted a large-scale rendition of a castell, a human tower built traditionally in festivals at many locations within Catalonia. Typically castellers wear white trousers, a black sash, a bandana and a coloured shirt often bearing the team’s emblem. A differently coloured shirt indicates which team a participant is in. For instance, Castellers de Barcelona team wear red shirts while Castellers de Vilafranca wear green shirts. “For Lenya” is an term used when a Castell falls.
Take a look at more images after the break and as usual check back with us soon to discover more street art from Europe.
