The melting snow and subsequent muck and dirt that’s left behind has me wishing for something beautiful, and Dutch Ink (a group of four guys from brand and communication school Vega) from Durban, South Africa, have just the thing. Their work, which draws inspiration from British street artist Paul Curtis, uses reverse graffiti to present various scenes on grimy city walls. By using stencils and stiff metal brushes, the group selectively cleans to leave behind a mural that fades over time. Beautiful.
