The work of the Italian artist Zed1 (Marco Burresi, Florence 1977) is characterized by a good dose of humor, a very unique visual language and a distinctive personal style.

Zed1 'Quella citta troppa stretta', Carpi, Italy, 2016.

Zed1 creates large murals worldwide depicting both poetic as an aesthetic power. His artworks always contain his recognizable figures, or puppets as he calls them, each telling their own story.
His fine use of color and his eye for precisely details ensure a pleasure for every art lover.

Zed1 second skin mural.

Zed1 loves to challenge and interact with his audience. A good example are his 'second skin' artworks. These murals are made of two layers. A layer directly on the wall, and a second painted on a thin layer of paper. The public can remove this second layer of the wall and the underlying work of art show up.

For many years, Zed1 creates large murals worldwide. Some still here, some already lost. Therefore he found it important to capture his murals in a beautiful book called 'Tales from the Wall' (2016).

This book takes the viewer on a fascinating journey of artworks made between 2010 and 2016. He has chosen 63 artworks (some in collaboration with streetart.nl). These works are equipped with beautiful photos and inside information so the viewer gets a good impression of Zed1 as an artist.

As Zed1 describes, working on the streets comes with a lot of difficulties. With this book Zed1 wants to match the paintings with anecdotes, the meaning of the artwork and his own personal feeling with a wall and the memories related.
