Nations Wall – Part 9

Mobe Oner mural street art Nashville

This is the ninth in the series on The Nations Wall, a massive set of murals on the west-facing wall of Music City Tents and Events, organized by the Nashville Walls Project. It’s the ninth piece going from left to right (roughly north to south). This one is by Mobe Oner, aka Eric Bass, a prolific Nashville muralist. I first saw this image not as a giant mural, but as an oil painting at the Rymer Gallery, when they did a show of Nashville muralists. That painting, called “Fireflies,” can be yours for $3000 (scroll down a bit).

Images of the entire wall with all the murals together can be found in Part 1.

Nations Wall – Part 8

Hands mural street art Nashville

This is the eighth in the series on The Nations Wall, a massive set of murals on the west-facing wall of Music City Tents and Events, organized by the Nashville Walls Project. It’s the eighth piece going from left to right (roughly north to south). This particular piece is by Folek Kelof  (or just “Folek”), a fairly prolific local muralist with a diverse range. He says on Instagram about this particular mural:

These are my hands….. they’re constantly injured and dirty. They don’t look normal for a reason.

That’s also his signature in white repeated over and over across the mural. No wonder his hands are beaten up!

Nations Wall – Part 7

Graffiti mural street art Nashville

This is the seventh in the series on The Nations Wall, a massive set of murals on the west-facing wall of Music City Tents and Events, organized by the Nashville Walls Project. It’s the seventh piece going from left to right (roughly north to south). The Nashville Walls project credits Eshor for this mural. While there seems to be no website or social media associated with that name, the hashtag #eshor on Instagram has a number of images you can explore. The lower tag is “Venser.” (I chose this partially blocked view of that tag for the featured photo because of the way Facebook crops shared links. See a full, angled view below.) This doesn’t seem to correspond to any of the artists that the Nashville Walls Project credited. Searching #venser on Instagram produces some similar tags and at least one other example of the two tags together (see the fourth photo in that set), but rare enough that I assume they are by two different people.

The Nations Wall – Part 6

Nations mural street art Nashville

This is the sixth in the series on The Nations Wall, a massive set of murals on the west-facing wall of Music City Tents and Events, organized by the Nashville Walls Project. It’s the sixth piece going from left to right (roughly north to south), and it’s by Audie Adams (who did the birds), Tess Erlenborn and Jon Buko (who collaborated on the letters). This is also the central mural in this gallery, and the one most often featured on social media and in articles about the mural scene in Nashville.

The Nations Wall – Part 5

Graffiti mural street art Nashville

This is the fifth in the series on The Nations Wall, a massive set of murals on the west-facing wall of Music City Tents and Events, organized by the Nashville Walls Project. It’s the fifth piece going from left to right (roughly north to south), and it’s by the artist Troy Duff. Duff is a prolific local artist working mostly in a graffiti-heavy style. I believe the word here is “KREST.” (#krestonegraffiti is a tag Duff uses a lot on Instagram.) He’s been featured several times on this blog, including in Eastland graffiti and A window on Nashville.

The Nations Wall – Part 4

Woman mural street art Nashville

This is the fourth in the series on The Nations Wall, a massive set of murals on the west-facing wall of Music City Tents and Events, organized by the Nashville Walls Project. It’s the fourth piece going from left to right (roughly north to south), and it’s (mainly) by Chris Zidek, who often signs his work “Zidekahedron.” This one isn’t signed, but the figure looks like the ones by him seen in Guitars and automobiles and in From me to you (which has since been painted over). A quick look at his Instagram page confirms it. It also confirms that the ball of flame, which doesn’t really look like Zidek’s style, isn’t, and is, in fact, the work of Folek Kelof, who has in own piece in the series. So a multi-artist mural for a multi-artist wall!

The Nations Wall – Part 3

Rebel mural street art Nashville

This is the third in the series on The Nations Wall, a massive set of murals on the west-facing wall of Music City Tents and Events, organized by the Nashville Walls Project. It’s the third piece going from left to right (roughly north to south), and it’s by the artist who goes by TheRebelAtLarge. From some photos on his Instagram account of him doing the mural I know that the whole message is “Moving Together as One.” Either the paint can or the raised thumbs represents “one.” A Nashville skyline can be seen in the can’s sunglasses, and on the top of the can you can see the word “chulo.” “Chulo” generally means things like pretty, fancy, fashionable, or hot, but it means a lot of other things too, depending on where you are from.  Hey, that’s definitely a tricked-out spraypaint can! ¡Muy chulo!
