Smiling fish by El Pez
======================

- street art/ art in public space

Mural

 The Barcelona-born artist 'El Pez' (the fish) has been spraying his colourful motifs on building facades since 1999. Full of colour and life, the smiling, grinning fish exude anarchic cheerfulness, a feeling that fits in with the colourful, chaotic hustle and bustle of the Ehrenfeld district.

On closer inspection, familiar figures from the world of comics can be identified in the hidden object picture, which was created as part of the City Leaks Festival 2013. These fit naturally into the positively crazy overall picture.
