INO recently painted this large mural titled Snowblind in his hometown of Athens. Commissioned for the Public Information Campaign for Hepatitis C, the street artist produced a large figurative piece in his signature black & white style.
Working without projectors and using his own mapping system, the Greek artist painted a faceless man blinded with the pursuit of money. By adding a light blue section in the shape of the human liver, INO is addressing the fact that 200,000 Greeks suffer from hepatitis C, but only 4% know it. Using a brush and almost exclusively a monochromatic palette, the finished piece feels like a blown up study painted on a massive scale. The grid of lines along with different shades of grey add to the dynamic of the image which was completed with a visual tear on the bottom of it, as a signature mark by the artist.
