The summer season in Ibiza was marked by the outstanding success of the BLOOP International Proactive Art Festival 015, a true celebration of artistic diversity, inclusivity, and boundless creativity.
The festival featured impressive artistic expressions, including traditional paintings, interactive installations, and cutting-edge augmented reality experiences.
Malarky
BLOOP’s commitment to pushing the limits of art was evident in how it transforms ordinary electrical transformation centres into stunning art pieces, bursting with various colours and styles, a new and exciting collaboration with Spanish electric company Endesa. The partnership allows artists to transform the otherwise mundane electrical transformation centres across Ibiza into fresh and vibrant canvases. One of the artists involved in this project is Malarky, a fun-loving Barcelona-based English artist who returned to the streets of Ibiza after a decade. He brought his unique style to the project and painted two electrical transformation centres with fun doodle-inspired characters, crazy patterns, and bright colours full of life. Malarky’s murals are a prime example of how a little creativity can go a long way.
Silva Ramacci and Said Dokins
BLOOP also proudly showcased its OpenAir. Gallery included a massive 560m2 mural by Silva Ramacci and Said Dokins. The mural shows a DJ turntable, intricately designed with vibrant colours and intricate patterns. Ramacci’s abstract style and Dokins’ Calligraffiti come together in a beautiful tribute to Ibiza’s music scene, blending Eastern and Western influences.
Reves One
The mural created by the Belgian artist Reves One captivates the senses and inspires the soul. The wall is split into two sides, each showcasing a unique piece of art. The first is titled “Sunflower,” which expresses peace and resilience for the Ukrainian people. It is a signature style that Reves One is known for, radiating a sense of calmness and tranquillity. On the opposite side, the mural is titled “FireLily,” it depicts a beautiful and blooming flower that emerges from the ashy soil after a destructive forest fire. The artwork is a beautiful representation of finding beauty in the darkness and overcoming adversity.
Ephemeral Electricities
The exhibition “Ephemeral Electricities,” curated by Biokip Labs, was an extraordinary journey into the world of proactive art, hosted at Endesa’s old electric plant for three days. Despite its brief opening duration, the exhibition was fully booked and proved a resounding success.
Augmented Reality
The festival’s magic extended beyond its physical boundaries through the free official BLOOP app, which allowed users to explore murals from past editions and experience artworks in augmented reality. Reves One mural can be seen below via his Instagram.
