EN: I am very sorry to say that walls of Zagreb (and this is not an isolated case among the cities) is covered by graffitti. And by “graffiti” I mean meaningless scribblings and autographs of a brainless morons, which should be, if you ask me, arrested for destroying of public property. With walls full of crap like this, it is a pleasure when sometimes (in very rare occasions) you find something truly artistic and meaningful on the walls of your town.
So, I’ll try to find the most impressive artistic graffiti/murals/paintings on Zagreb walls to share with you. Anyone is welcome to continue the series, or signal an interesting subject where a cache can be placed.
Lonac (which means “pot” in Croatian) is the last name, but also a pseudonym of one of the best street artists in Croatia. He is known for his big murals, which he often paints on totally inaccessible places, so they are difficult to locate.
Exactly a year ago (April 16th, 2015), there was a “OHOHO festival of Underground DIY comics and Street art” held in Zagreb. One of the artists invited was also Lonac, who painted this fascinating mural, to which I am drawing your attention today. Incorporating existing things (in this occasion, an air pipe) in his murals is one of his trademarks.
On the photos below, you can see the whole process of painting. Enjoy this masterpiece!

HR: S velikim žaljenjem mogu reći da su zidovi zgrada u Zagrebu (a to nije slučaj samo sa Zagrebom) pokriveni grafitima. Pod “grafitima” ovdje podrazumijevam bezvezno črčkanje i potpise obijesnih divljaka, koje bi, da se mene pita, trebalo hapsiti zbog uništavanja tuđe imovine. Sa gradom punim takvih sranja, još je veće zadovoljstvo kad tu i tamo (u rijetkim slučajevima) na zidovima svog grada nađete nešto stvarno umjetničko i smisleno.
Pokušat ću naći najimpresivnije umjetničke grafite/murale/slikarije na zagrebačkim zidovima, da podijelim s vama. Bilo tko je dobrodošao da nastavi seriju, ili prijavi zanimljiv zid kraj kojega se može postaviti cache.

Lonac je prezime ali i pseudonim jednog od najboljih uličnih umjetnika kod nas. Poznat je po svojim velikim muralima, koje često crta na totalno nepristupačnim mjestima, pa ih je teško i locirati.
Točno prije godinu dana (16.04.2015) je u Zagrebu održan “OHOHO festival Underground DIY stripa i ulične umjetnosti”. Jedan od pozvanih autora je bio i Lonac, koji je naslikao ovaj fascinantni mural, na kojeg vam danas skrećem pažnju. Ukomponiranje već postojećih stvari (u ovom slučaju, dimnjak) u svoje murale je jedno od njegovih trademark-a.
