To evaluate the work, browse the details Broken Wall Broken Wall stems from Mart Signed’s exploration of the relationship between street art, matter, and urban memory. The project brings a fragment of street language into homes, galleries, and private collections, transforming a surface marked by time into a contemporary artwork. The wall is not merely the support for the image, but becomes an integral part of the work. Its surface, the cracks, the traces of time, and the natural characteristics of the material preserve the bond with the urban context from which street art is born. The fracture thus becomes an element of the artistic language: the boundary between street and the exhibition space is broken, and the urban fragment finds a new place. The work The work does not impose an answer, but leaves each observer free to find their own interpretation. The stencil is created directly on the support: it is not a print or a reproduction. The work depicted in the photographs is exactly the one that will be received by the collector. Materials and authenticity Materials recovered from the street are chosen to maintain a living connection with the original language of street art. Marks, abrasions, surface variations, irregularities and natural imperfections are not defects, but elements that belong to the history of the material and to the identity of the work. These characteristics are deliberately preserved and integrated into the creative process. The work is signed, accompanied by the artist-signed certificate of authenticity, and delivered ready to be hung. The frame is not included, unless otherwise indicated for the specific exemplar. Instagram and participation in the project The journey of the work can continue even after purchase. Collectors can share their work on Instagram tagging @martsigned and using the hashtag #MartSigned. Works correctly tagged may be reshared by the artist through their channels, showing the different destinations reached by the works and creating a direct connection between artist, collector and the public. Periodically, special initiatives, giveaways or small street art-related gifts may also be organized through social networks. Participation is optional and independent of the purchase of the work. Any methods and conditions are communicated through the artist’s official channels. The artist Mart Signed is an Italian street artist active internationally. His works are part of private collections in numerous countries and his artistic research develops around the concept “Where Are You Street Art?”: bringing the language and material of the street inside homes, galleries, private collections and spaces traditionally distant from the urban context. Over the years Mart Signed has developed his international presence through collaborations and relationships with various entities in the art world. His research connects street art, urban memory, recovered materials and space transformation. In 2023 Mart Signed also participated in a documentary dedicated to Banksy and the street art culture.

Each piece is carefully packaged, protected and insured, with particular attention to the most delicate parts and the irregular shape of the support.

Each work is produced individually and no two specimens can be identical. The shape of the support, the fracture, the surface, the marks, the imperfections, and the material characteristics naturally vary from one piece to another, making each piece unrepeatable. The 20 works share the same artistic project and the same conceptual core, but each retains its own physical and visual identity. They are not 20 copies or reproductions of the same work, but 20 unique and different pieces, all belonging to the Broken Wall series. Each work is identified by a specific code printed on the certificate of authenticity.
