@Urbanruben and @golden305 Murals @ 50 Silsbee St

Two murals on Silsbee Street in downtown Lynn pair the work of street artists Ruben Ubiera, known as Urbanruben, and Cristhian Saravia, known as Golden or Golden305. Organized by Beyond Walls, the walls bring two distinct styles together: Ubiera’s line-driven, graffiti-inspired neo-figurative work and Golden’s vivid colors and vivacious characters. Ubiera is known for his strong use of line, while Golden has spent the last few years creating unique, vivacious characters on walls in many places.

Ubiera, born in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, paints and draws in a style described as Postgraffism, and his practice extends to urban murals, mixed-media pieces and installations created with reclaimed objects and found artifacts. Golden, born in Caracas, Venezuela, became a graffiti artist at an early age and grew into one of Florida’s most renowned street artists as the movement evolved, painting large-scale graffiti and murals around the world.
