Eron's 1,000 sqm mural W.A.L.L. becomes record public art in Milan's CityLife park

Italian artist Eron (born Rimini, 1973) has completed W.A.L.L. (Walls Are Love's Limits), one of the world's largest mural artworks, spanning 120 by 8 meters (1,000 square meters) in the CityLife park in Milan. The monumental painted wall features barbed wire textures formed by micro-letters spelling the names of five continents, with a sun-like heart at its center, all rendered in a misty, dreamlike style. The work is intended as a political statement against all walls—physical and cultural—and will be demolished by the artist's will in about two years. CityLife is a major urban redevelopment project covering 366,000 square meters, with architectural landmarks by Zaha Hadid, Arata Isozaki, and Daniel Libeskind. The park will host future site-specific interventions by artists including Adrian Paci, Mario Ariò, and Elisabetta Benassi. In 2018, Fondazione Trussardi installed Jeremy Deller's inflatable Sacrilege (a 1:1 replica of Stonehenge) in the same park during Miart 2018. The area also includes Europe's first city-center golf course, the largest urban pedestrian zone, and a business and shopping district powered by renewable energy.
