Evan La Ruffa
IPaintMyMind founder Evan La Ruffa presents a photo series entitled ‘Post All Bills’ showcasing various walls throughout our urban landscape. Shot entirely on iPhone, the project started in New York City and has since expanded with most images found in Chicago or Los Angeles. Of course, these walls ultimately end up covered with bills for concerts, products and ads. Image courtesy of Evan La Ruffa
Russell Muits
‘Manholes’ is a series of urban relief prints by artist Russell Muits. Each piece captures a manhole cover from cities across the world — from Evanston, Illinois to Amsterdam. Using block ink and raw canvas, Muits unearths, reimagines, and pays homage to artisans of the past by preserving these relics through prints. Image courtesy of Philadelphia Inquirer
Ruben Aguirre
Rubin Aguirre is driven by drawing attention to underutilized infrastructure through mediums of abstraction, graffiti, formalism, and mural painting. Informed by architecture, his work plays with re-imagining public space, while investigating pattern, hard edge painting and color field. With forms inspired by typography, geographical terrain, and the human body, Aguirre’s compositions build a visual language often referencing the socio-historical background of each site location.
