Christo Guelov, a Bulgarian visual and conceptual artist who lives in Madrid, is famous for his rather unusual installations, at least at first glance. His last "intervention" took place in the Swedish city of Gothenburg, where he painted the Älvsborg bridge in very special shades. Children will recognize them in no time.
Let's paint Gothenburg it is action or whatever competition, which invites young people, unemployed residents of the city on painting workshops. With this, the initiators of the campaign want to connect the community even more and inspire young people to a new way of thinking about their (with) possibilities. Young people can enter they bring their neighborhoods back with brushes and vibrant colors and liven up their streets with them.
Christo Guelov is part of the campaign painted the main pillars of the Älvsborg bridge in Lego blocks. Because the pillars in its height is as much as 107 meters, they can be seen from quite a distance. In this way, they can attract, inspire and encourage even more young people.
Another in a line of commendable Scandinavian moves, isn't it?
