Deze ruim 15 meter hoge muurschildering is gemaakt door lokale graffiti-kunstenaar Jorit (zijn moeder is Nederlands). Jorit zette het in slechts 1 week op de muur, aan de ingang van de wijk Forcella. De inspiratie voor dit werk vond hij in New York, waar vergelijkbare schilderingen het imago van wijken als Brooklyn verbeterden. Je herkent de muurschildering misschien ook uit seizoen 3 van de serie Gomorra.
Wherever you look in Naples, you will see artworks, even in the streets. Jorit Agoch (b.1990) is the most famous Naples street artist. He has created murals of San Gennaro (the city’s patron saint), Diego Maradona, and Che Guevara. Recently many more of his works have been displayed on the city walls. Jorit is now focusing exclusively on the human face and specifically portraying the human face in the most realistic way possible. He marks his portraits with two red stripes on the cheek as a symbol of struggle and social resistance.
