Nether Street Art in Baltimore

Sunday, January 15, 2012

The Baltimore street artist Nether has sent us some examples of his wheat pasted pieces of art he’s left around the city of Baltimore. Check out more of his work here.

NETHER is an urban art campaign that hopes to impact and beautify BMORE’s bleakness through vibrant street art with the hopes of evoking public discussion. The pieces that are wheat-pasted to the chosen (usually vacant) surfaces directly comment on the city and the forces that have brought it to its shameful state.

Nether sees his work as a force that solidifies people’s connections to locations in the city that are distinctly Baltimore. He tries to reclaim and recycle the tragic landscape. This city is a place that is simultaneously loved and hated for bringing both contentment and fear, anger and joy; its vibe is a permeating force that becomes part of every mind experiencing its poetic chaos.
