It was my Birthday on the 8th July. After finishing the breakfast and started a little late with some of my groupmates as the will join me for my birthday lunch. There was a good place named Crystal. I bought some souvenirs and then ate lunch over there with my group mates. They loved the food over there too.
Then I started my excursion for the day by going at the Moco Museum. It was a modern art museum with a twist. The artists that painted the paintings there were Banksy, Icy & Sot Brothers.
Banksy is a British artist. In this museum he portrayed his creations, among them mostly are street art collected from several places. One fact about Banksy is he loves to express his thoughts that are often different than any other artist. There are messages for the society in his art and he expresses those through sarcasm or through rebellious way. One of his art ‘the girl with balloon’ creates so many questions and thoughts in the human brain and while looking at the art for a while everyone figures the meaning behind it in their own way. It is like without saying anything the painting explained a lot itself.
Icy & Sot are brothers. Their art is also like Banksy. Art with several thoughts combined. These two brothers expressed themselves by portraying themes like oppression, fame, freedom, war and dreams. These two contemporary artists painted murals at several places that controversial dramas but they did not stop expressing them. Some of their paintings are so iconic that anyone with a well working brain would appreciate that. There were two arts where they created guns simply by portraying their paintbrush. It seemed like a paintbrush can talk and express way more than a gun. Gun cannot be the solution to all. Also the increasing amounts of gun violence that are going on, these paintings are an absolute sarcastic representation to them.
Downstairs they had several rooms designed very uniquely in three dimensions format. The rooms looked so lively that anyone would find that very interesting. I have never been to a museum like this before.
