As I discussed in a previous post, Buenos Aires is full of street art. The street art is located primarily in the neighborhoods of San Telmo and Palermo, so it came as a surprise when some quality street art appeared on my street, Pacheco de Melo, in the heart of Barrio Norte. The art isn't you're typical street art, as the themes seem more academically grounded and depict scenes from the city.
For the past month or so crews had been renovating a sidewalk area a couple blocks down from my apartment. They only recently finished the work and soon after the artwork appeared. The street I live on is very nice and quiet, located two blocks off of two main thoroughfares in the city, Las Heras and Pueyrredon.
I was on my way to Parque Las Heras when I discovered the new street art, some of which had not been completed yet. I was so excited for this new artistic touch that I just had to run back to the apartment to get my camera. I never made it to the park.
Here are some photos of Melo's new look.
