Four perspectives and ten prisms is all that Boa Mistura has needed to transform for a few days a central square in Logroño with one of their newest works.

The team Boa Mistura appear again with a beautiful installation at the San Bartolome square in Logroño,  with the occasion of Concentric, the Architecture and Design Festival of the city. The piece has been installed during the four days in which the event took place, setting a new abstract landscape and a contemporary dialogue with the Gothic church on the square.

Descripción of the proyect by Boa Mistura

The installation is about a forest of triangular base prisms on a grid of hexagons which depending on where you place, it opens to the city giving new views or darkens generating a screen.

Starting with the verse of the Poem 6 by Enrique Cabezón, poet from “La Rioja” in Spain (Logroño, 1976) which says: “look at yourself through this poem of water.” Decomposed in four parts, one can read only from certain points when walking the installation perimetrically.

Every part of the verse mixes with the others generating different colored and geometrical compositions. Its a piece conceived to push yourself to get in and discover, losing many times the perception of the place where you are in.

Boa Mistura. The work of Boa Mistura is all about the love of graffiti, colour and life. This group of 5 Spanish artists is, as the name says, a good mixture. Arkoh, Derko, Pahg, Purone and Rdick have developed their work in different fields, applying both a diversity of styles and the different views of each member. Boa Mistura represents a mixture of perspectives which complement, influence and mix themselves together in order to create something better. From graffiti and mural painting, to graphic design and illustration, Boa Mistrua want to give the world its colour back. 5 heads, 10 hands, just one heart.

Boa Mistura is a multidisciplinary group whose roots are in graffiti, formed at the end of 2001 in Madrid, Spain. The group works in various fields: from the latest trends in graffiti and street murals, to illustration, graphic design, studio painting and collaborations with interior designers and architects.

They have taken part in exhibitions in art galleries such as the Reina Sofía Museum and the Casa Encendida in Madrid, and the DA2 Museum in Salamanca. They have collaborated with foundations such as ONCE (Spanish national organisation for the blind), Oxfam and Antonio Gala, and given lectures at universities such as Madrid, Seville and Alcalá de Henares.

Boa Mistura has completed projects for brands such as Google, Microsoft, Sony Music and Adidas and in 2010 a Latin Grammy nomination for best cover design. The term “Boa Mistura”, from the Portuguese for “good mixture”, refers to the diversity of style and perspectives of each member. Love for graffiti, colour and life. Distinct visions which complement each other, influence each other, and always combine to create something even better.
