Speed Painting:A Stencil For Egypt


I happen to stumbled upon this video when the Egyptian Revolution started last year in January. The video was featured as a headline story on CNN last year when the artist published it on YouTube, and received worldwide publicity because of its many views. I love how the video is put together, as a time lapse/speed painting, giving a brief introduction into spray painting art. It captures the emotion of the woman, who probably experienced a loss, or witnessed someone who died during that difficult time. It also captures sensory details that are shown throughout her facial expression and gesture.
