The Brian Rea 'Murals' struck a chord with me when I first saw it. This incredibly creative piece of art is one man's fears, written down on a chalkboard.
Brian Rea sure has a lot of fears. His fears filled up a 7-meter-by-3.5-meter chalkboard, which is currently on display in Barcelona. His fears are placed into categories like physical, supernatural and political. The flip side of the Brian Rea 'Murals' is an expansion on one of his fears, UFOs. I love this artwork. I'd like to try this on a much smaller scale and see what happens.
