The Opposite House is excited to collaborate with Spanish street artist, gerGA, to present a distinct urban art piece at the property.

Through a 20-meter mural, gerGA shows the emotional conflict and inspiration which Beijing brought to him. “I was born with the first generation of freedom in Spain.

I grew up in a sunny paradise, which became a tourist city – concrete and without soul. During my time in Madrid and Barcelona, I learned to become inspired by my surroundings, before spending time in the creative and colourful streets of Berlin. Now, in Beijing, I challenge myself to create pocket cities, balancing between different aesthetics and the spontaneous energy of the city, creating design without any preconceived goal,“ said gerGA.

As an architect and designer, gerGA is fascinated by urban situations, high density spaces, large metropolitan areas and super crowded places and tries to combine these elements into an aggressive minimal representation of an abstract urban area.

Parallel to his architectural work on large-scale projects in China, he has been developing an art concept inspired on urban densities, and exploring how to represent them in real spaces creating large scale mural paintings. His work for The Opposite House is a spray-painted creation inspired by the multiple situations that can be experienced on a  daily basis in a metropolis like Beijing.
