Comics Mural: Morcky
Storytelling: Oana Maroti
The underground is the XL Saloon of the rejects, full of neglected individuals, who know what hunger and suffering are and had to survive when no one cared.
It is a created place, a forced refuge for those who were not welcome, stigmatized, and expelled from society, a direct result of inequity.
From comics to graffiti, we find a diversity of subjects left aside, taboo, on the surface, but totally present and affecting the social dynamics.
For underground art, the silenced, and the vulnerable have something to say, and their presence is made visible even on the walls.
No one is cute when they are hungry or abused and no one should be hungry or abused.
There are specific reasons why people or animals should not starve.
What are these reasons?
How does a lack of necessities affect health and behavior
at the Individual level and at the Group level?
Being afraid of hungry people or avoiding them when asked for help is just strange, like an impossible communication. When people are hungry, they need food and for other problems problem solving not exclusion or negative emotions.
Underground creation emphasizes open access using the most exquisite philosophical interactions and visual stimulations. Calligraphy can go through the wall and characters can become giants or change surfaces.
Some artists are beautiful empaths, observing the marginalized and putting the situation on a platter, with style.
Morcky uses black-and-white comic methods and applies them to mural art.
His calligraphy bricks look like a cubic attack that is about to knock you off while a very cool sketchy character poses.
This artist´s work has this mega-strong presence of being different and his characters challenge the viewer to fight against stigma and vulnerability with great perspective and exclamation marks.
In the Parallel skatepark area and across the street there are currently 3 pieces of Morcky's work in open spaces that look just awesome and have some heavy stories to tell.
