Louis Masai: Save the Bees
“When we go, we’re taking you with us” says this mural by artist Louis Masai, one in a series created for a ‘Save the Bees’ day in Britain. Says the artist, “My recent documentation of endangered creatures and raising awareness of statistics has on occasion been associated with activism. I find this a bit daunting as I only see myself as an artist but I definitely see the power of visual language and I’m enjoying using that power via my murals and the modern world of social networking.”
