From France to Kenya to Hong Kong, Seth Globepainter (previously) continues to traverse the world, sharing moments of curiosity and discovery on the sides of buildings and in neighborhood parks. Evoking the joy and optimism of children at play, he adds vibrant color to walls at a variety of scales to encourage imagination. Recent paintings feature a young girl unzipping a blue sky—an interior world—on the side of an apartment building in France, a group of children playing within arched windows in Cyprus, and a young boy painting a picture in his bright school uniform in Kenya.
