Renowned Italian street artist '2501' recently completed a collection of linear murals in Los Angeles. He was invited by the 'Do Art Foundation' to create murals to adorn LA's downtown area.
With the use of black ink and a few brushes, 2501 was able to create extremely detailed images in his signature linear style. From afar, these intricate pieces each look like large-scale illustrations, but a closer look will show that many of the murals were created with a repetitive linear methodology. His linear murals have been celebrated throughout the world and his work has been known to give viewers a sense of depth and action. The use of various images can sometimes be confusing, but 2501 describes his first piece as a representation of the metamorphosis of the world, depicting the evolution from microorganisms to humans.
