Blu is an artist that has travelled all over the world creating works of arts that have a point to them, working with spray paint on small murals all the way up to creating huge images on the sides of building or wherever he deems fit. He typically tries to conceal his identity from every one as much as possible and trys to be a shadowy figure just like Banksy as he would rather get on with his art, rather then go to huge exhibitions he would prefer to go to other territories.
Blu's fame was first found in 1999 after he had created a series of illicit graffiti which he had painted in the historical centre and suburbs of Bologna which was the capital of Italy's Emilia-Romagna region. In the early years of his career he was simply limited it spray paint which is why he appeared in the graffiti culture. However in 2001 he started to use house paint, using rollers which he had applied to telescopic sticks which aloud him to reach a much bigger area to paint on. With the ability to do this he started to create human figures which emitted a range of emotions and looked as if they were from a cartoon or video game.
Blu has travelled all around the world to places such as: Central and South America, West Bank, England, Spain, Germany, Italy and other parts of Eastern Europe. He has created murals in all of these country's to do with things such as plantation workers not being treated properly and creates a point out of art which people can then relate too.
This shows you where he has visited and what he has accomplished in each of the places.
