Dénia brings together muralists to fix the graffiti of La Vía soiled by vandalism
The graffiti on La Vía street made during editions of the Urbajove de Juventud form, for years, part of the landscape of Dénia. These artists with their paintings gave life to the gloomy skeleton of an abandoned building, which breaks the aesthetics of one of the booming streets of the city. These muralists undertook the project of turning that ugly remnant of a failure into a canvas giving it color and appeal.
However, weeks ago they were victims of various acts of vandalism in which one or more unknown persons scribbled on 22 of the 25 works displayed there. Their intention is not clear because their writings are indecipherable. Now, whether the objective was or not, they destroyed those paintings that were by some artists, but that already belonged to all the Dianenses.
Con tal de solventarlo, el Ayuntamiento ha pedido ayuda a dos de los muralistas que hace años crearon esas obras y, con el permiso de aquellos que por la distancia no han podido participar, devolverán a las paredes las imágenes que nunca debieron desaparecer. Ellos son Tardor y Xolaka, los cuales ayer ya iniciaron la restauración ese paisaje de La Vía y Patricio Ferrándiz ensuciado por unos «artistas» a los que el consistorio reta a presentarse en futuros Urbajove y dejar en paz los trabajos de los demás.
In addition, the Department of Youth has announced that it will make a photographic catalog of all the graffiti with the proposal of an itinerary to visit them.
