It’s cool to be a Norwegian student. These mosaics are a project for a public school in Trondheim, Norway. The Oslo based artist Mr.Mucho worked together with Bo Wallstrom, and the project took them about 3 weeks to realize and about 6 months of preparation. It includes two identical rooms above each other, so when you are outside, you can see both pieces. They used ceramic tiles in different sizes, and about one thousand of them are screen-printed with different designs. The main pieces are large and located on both floors. Smaller ones in the kitchen section of the same room. When the water is running, it comes out of their noses. The heaters also have tiles on, turning them into "robots", that only can be seen from outside. Mr. Mucho and his friends are now planning a large outdoor project in the center of Oslo, where they will take mosaics to a new level by using more personal printed tiles combined with classic Moroccan and Turkish tiles. Mr. Mucho has designed graffiti since 1990. He writes traditional graffiti in new ways. When he is not painting canvasses or sewing dolls in his studio, he takes care of his family. He now works with all mediums, mostly acrylic paint and spray paint. He was published in several books like "Overground" in 2003 at Dokument Forlag, as one of nine nordic writers/artists.
