I have always been passionate about this means of expression, I remember a post I published in January ten years ago (https://www.beatricebrandini.it/night-souls-by-haring-to-banksy-the-writing/?lang=en), where I praised this art form by calling it an open-air museum.

The intervention designed for the Museo Novecento is a unique and site-specific work, which arises from considerations on the 1988 work by Maurizio Nannucci, Everything Might Be Different, exhibited in the cloister of the Museo Novecento. The new motto, “Everything could be different”, indicates the desire to recognize an artistic movement that is still undervalued, often controversial, but alive and bursting, such as that of Street Art. Kraita317 is, in fact, an enterprising representative of that circle of artists who began their journey with little means, driven solely by their own determination.

Kraita317 is one of the main protagonists of the Florentine urban artistic movement of recent years and among the artists who last year participated in the great international exhibition of urban art at the Fluctuart Museum in Paris. An active member of the Romanian crew ANS since the end of the 2000s, Kraita317 left his hometown, Brașov, in 2018 to move to Florence. This change of context is highly significant and triggers a rapid and constant evolution in his style, both in the line and in the chromatic selection, moving from the figurative to the abstract without ever abandoning a highly expressive stylistic signature.

Kraita317’s abstract and synthetic works are characterized by essential shapes and primary colors, capable of evoking complex sensations and deep feelings. What the artist returns, first in the studio and then on the street, is the final result of a long journey born from the urgency of responding to the stimuli collected and then assimilated in the urban environment. Kraita317 places his beliefs directly on the street, entrusting his works to the wear of time and interaction with the city and its inhabitants
To be seen!
Good life to everyone!
