Above: “Caution” in NYC

While this might not be completely “new” news, I noticed that Madrid street-artist SpY recently updated his portfolio with a bunch of nice installations from New York, Madrid, Bilbao and Rotterdam, Holland. His work stems from a keen perception of the current urban and social climate, with same-sex marriage, invasion of privacy and the economic crisis simply some of the issues discussed. SpY prides himself on creating non-invasive pieces that are drenched in irony; bits of intelligent conversation-starters hidden around the corner that are there to see if one so desires.
