BLU in Navarino Park in Exarchia<\/strong><\/p>\nShortly after the release of \u201cNULLA\u201d fanzine from ZOOO editions, BLU is back on the road with a new large scale artwork. The Italian artist continues to connect his work with purposes and social values, expressing them openly and linking them to the social situation of the regions where he paints like Exarchia one of the most characteristic areas of Athens.

NTUA (National (Metsovian) Technical University of Athens) remains the \u2018\u2019star\u2019\u2019 of the area and continues to play an important role in the social life of the country.<\/p>\n

Reaction to the urbanization where we see a city surrounded by nature.<\/p>\n
