Huariu (PT) – Brush of Beyond

Huariu is a Portuguese muralist whose name comes from locals asking "who are you?" during his mural work abroad - a question that became both identity and artistic program. Working with a distinctive halftone line technique, he renders large-scale portraits and figures that hover between photorealism and graphic abstraction. His viral portrait of Lewis Hamilton brought international attention. In 2019, he came to Vienna for the Calle Libre Festival, where these editions were produced.

Brush of Beyond showcases Huariu's signature halftone approach at a scale rarely seen in print - at 100×70cm, this three-color screen print translates mural-sized ambition onto paper. Layers of black and grey create a portrait that dissolves and reassembles depending on viewing distance, echoing Roy Lichtenstein's Ben-Day dots recontextualized through the language of large-scale muralism.
