EN: I am very sorry to say that walls in Croatia are covered with graffiti. And by “graffiti” I mean meaningless scribblings and autographs of the 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 in your country.
So, I’ll try to find the most impressive artistic graffiti/murals/paintings on Croatia walls to share with you. Anyone is welcome to continue this Street Art series, or signal an interesting subject where a cache can be placed.
Graffiti na gradele (grilled graffiti) is a regional art festival held in Bol, every summer since 2012.
Some of the best known names from the local graffiti scene were here, namely: Lunar, Lonac, Artez, Chez 186, Modul Osam, Pimp my Pump, etc.
Every year they leave a bunch of fascinating and memorable works, here you can see what they have done on the facades of abandoned hotel “Bijela kuća” (White House). (BTW, it is a disgrace that a hotel of this magnitude and position looks like this).
Since the cache is placed INSIDE the abandoned hotel structure, it is listed as a multi. It is a very short multi, don’t worry.
On the starting coordinates, originally there was a fantastic mural “Brač na Bolu” (Brač on Bol), painted by Bare (from Pimp my Pump group) and Modul. It depicted a scene from the famous Croatian movie “Tko pjeva zlo ne misli”. Few years later it was repainted by Lonac, creating Dionysus image. Enjoy the mural.
Finished with enjoying? OK. Now turn your back on the mural, and climb the spiral staircase to the first floor. There you will see the entrance to the hotel. Enter the hotel, and keep your right. You’ll come to the reception desk (or what’s left of it). While INSIDE of the reception, look at the lower left “drawer”.
In and around the hotel you can see many works (not only) from the abovementioned artists. You can also explore the hotel at your own risk. Happy hunting!
HR: S velikim žaljenjem mogu reći da su zidovi zgrada u Zagrebu a i cijeloj Hrvatskoj pokriveni grafitima. Pod “grafitima” ovdje podrazumijevam bezvezno črčkanje i potpise obijesnih divljaka, koje bi, da se mene pita, trebalo hapsiti zbog uništavanja tuđe imovine. S gradom punim takvih sranja, još je veće zadovoljstvo kad tu i tamo (u rijetkim slučajevima) na zidovima svog grada i zemlje nađete nešto stvarno umjetničko i smisleno.
Pokušat ću naći najimpresivnije umjetničke grafite/murale/slikarije na domaćim zidovima da podijelim s vama. Bilo tko je dobrodošao da nastavi seriju, ili prijavi zanimljivo oslikan zid kraj kojega se može postaviti cache.
Graffiti na gradele je regionalni art festival koji se održava svakog ljeta od 2012. godine u Bolu.
Neka od najpoznatijih imena lokalne graffiti scene su ovdje, kao npr: Lunar, Lonac, Artez, Chez 186, Modul Osam, Pimp my Pump, itd.
Svake godine ostave gomilu impresivnih radova, ovdje možete vidjeti što su napravili s fasadom napuštenog hotela “Bijela kuća”. (BTW, prava je sramota da hotel ove veličine i pozicije izgleda ovako kako izgleda.)
Pošto je cache smješten UNUTAR napuštene hotelske strukture, postavljen je kao multi. Vrlo kratki multi, bez brige.
Na početnim koordinatama je originalno bio fenomenalni mural “Brač na Bolu”, djelo Bareta (iz Pimp my Pump grupe) i Modula. Prikazana je scena iz kultnog domaćeg filma “Tko pjeva, zlo ne misli”. Koju godinu kasnije, prefarban je (koja šteta) Lončevim jednako fascinantnim Dionysus-om. Uživajte u muralu.
Završili s uživanjem? OK. Sad okrenite leđa muralu, i popnite se spiralnim stepenicama do prvog kata. Tamo ćete vidjeti ulaz u hotel. Uđite unutra, i držite se desne strane. Doći ćete do recepcije (ili onoga što je od nje ostalo). Budite UNUTAR recepcije, i pogledajte donju lijevu “ladicu”.
U i oko hotela možete vidjeti mnoge radove (ne samo) gorespomenutih umjetnika. Možete i istraživati hotel, naravno, na vlastitu odgovornost. Sretna potraga!
