Welcome to your weekly scooop of street art, opps, events, and media curated by the BE team. Since 2012, Beautify Earth has produced, promoted, and advocated for art on the streets through local art productions, digital media, and program consulting. Header art by CYFI.
Rock “Cyfi” Martinez is a visual artist and muralist born in Tucson, AZ. He now resides in Minneapolis, MN. As a self-taught artist, he developed his craft by learning alongside other graffiti writers in his community. This grassroots education and the trials that come from working in a street-culture medium outside of the traditional scope of fine art influenced his understanding of public places and spaces - namely who they are for, and by extension, who was not welcome. Throughout his body of work he explores this tension and seeks to amplify the voices and narratives of those who have been disenfranchised and marginalized throughout history. He draws on his Mexican American and Indigenous heritage to comment on the social, cultural, and natural history of site specific surfaces, often using allegory, abstraction and pop art devices to layer meaning.
