POLLUTION FOREST by Spanish artist Escif @escif at 20 Thistle Street (near Rose Street), Aberdeen, Scotoand in June 2023. Photos taken April 2025.
⠀⠀⠀
"Spanish artist Escif returns to Nuart with one of his tertiary landscapes, using the recently adopted medium of ink made from harvested pollution. With the topic of this year’s festival being Rewilding, Escif’s muted landscape adds another dimension to an otherwise ordinary Aberdonian urban parking lot.
The image chosen by the artist was taken from the Caledonian Forest, an ancient temperate forest in Scotland. The forest has due to human actions over thousands of year reduced in size to its current extent. By the 1950s, only 1 precent of the original Caledonian Forest, that once covered most of Scotland, remained.
The mural was painted using @air.ink, which is the world’s first ink made out of air pollution particulate matters. By creating a new pictoral forest by using ink created from one of humanities most destructive inputs on the landscape, the choice of material and image reinforces the themes of the work and the festival at large." @nuartaberdeen June 17, 2023

Green Lady of Crathes Castle by Norwegian street art duo Naeem Saerle and Renate Hermansen AKA Nimi and RH74 @nimistreetart_ and @rh74_renate, with help from Scottish artists #marybutterworth, #Katiemguthrie, and #charliekelman at 1 Union Wynd, Aberdeen, Scotland in August 2018 as part of @nuartaberdeen festival. Photos taken April 2025.
⠀⠀
"The more famous ghost of Crathes Castle is the Green Lady who has been spotted by many people over the years including Queen Victoria.
...
The Green Lady of Crathes Castle isn’t shy and is still making her presence felt today. A few years ago, an Australian tourist was visiting the castle on a quiet day as the only person wandering the rooms. Just as she set foot on the staircase to make her way down to the Green Lady’s room she heard a clear voice in her ear say “Don’t go in the next room. Don’t go in. Get out. Now.” She raced down the spiral staircase as fast as she could and shot out of the main door. No amount of persuasion could get her back inside to finish the tour."

⠀⠀
"Bergen-based, South African born artist Nimi grew up in England and has been an integral part of the Norwegian street art scene for over two decades. A trained architect-turned-street artist, Nimi likes to experiment with a variety of techniques, mediums and creative processes in work that tends to blur the lines between political satire and Romanticism.

RH74 is a Stavanger-based artist and street art enthusiast whose work is a blend of fine and urban art. With a passion for figuration and portraiture she is mainly responsible for the fine details found in the duo’s impressive large-scale murals." https://www.aberdeeninspired.com/murals/artist/nimi-rh74

"After the murals I painted of Alice and Hugo there two years ago were demolished, the team kindly invited me back and I thought it was only right to bring back Ally and Hugo, with their new addition, Ruby-Rae!
This painting is a tribute to them, their endless kindness, a homage to gentle power and taking up space with softness and femininity.
Also it’s #nationalbreastfeedingweek All power to mumma milks #freethenipple !
Massive thanks to @b_for_botanical and @hugo.fer.artwork for their trust and openness ♥️" @abcdefghelen August 7, 2021⠀

"The first thing I'm planning is the composition and the colors, and from there I add elements, characters and such. At the beginning, we were trying to have a story for every mural, but then I realized that symbols can be read totally different in different places. Also, there are so many little details and ways of reading an image, that if I tell the story, I might destroy the ways to enjoy the work. So, for me, it's more about the composition. If I wanted to tell a story maybe I'd just write a book." 2017 interview https://www.juxtapoz.com/news/magazine/features/sainer-the-road-to-harmony/

Hold your own by British artist Helen Bur @abcdefghelen, at Rue Saint-Hélier, 35000 Rennes, Brittany, France in 2019 as part of the Teenage Kicks Festival @teenagekicks_biennale. Photos taken January 2025.

"The title comes from a beautiful song by @katetempest, be sure to listen." @abcdefghelen Sept 24, 2019
⠀⠀⠀
'Until last year, the stories that Helen was painting on walls all around the world were inspired by her interest in other people’s lives. Through making art, she was learning things she had no experience with before, breaking down the world around her, and understanding it a bit more with each brush stroke.

Helen Bur: “Then I gradually realized that the only way I was receiving all that information was through newspapers, and there is only so much truth you can get from journalistic representations of situations. So I turned it around and started to look inwards. In the last months I painted from personal experiences, which made me reconnect with my work. Now I examine my life first, then what’s around me or what I can have a first time real experience of – and finally I paint about it”'
