"Save the World", a Massive New Street Art Mural by D*Face in Greenpoint, Brooklyn

First spotted by our friends at Street Art News, this massive new mural is a work-in-progress in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, at 188 Eagle Street. Covering the entire side of a 4-story building, the colorful mural comes from a collaboration between London-based street artist D*Face and Cyber-Security company Kaspersky. The artist will also create artwork for the firm's 2019 software suite, coming in October.

Working with a variety of mediums and techniques, D*Face uses a family of dysfunctional characters to satirise and hold to ransom all that falls into their grasp – a welcome jolt of subversion in today’s media-saturated world. The artist aim is to encourage the public not just to ‘see’, but to look at what surrounds them and their lives, reflecting our increasingly bizarre fascination for with celebrity, fame, consumerism and materialism.
