Harry Greb's new anti-war work pops up near the Colosseum

A new work by street artist Harry Greb appeared near the Colosseum overnight: a poster depicting Vladimir Putin drawing some missiles on the peace symbol. In the background are the blue and yellow colors of the Ukrainian flag.

The work is meant to make people reflect on the current situation, as well as express an anti-war message.

The poster was attached to the end of the bridge on Via degli Annibaldi, along with a series of copies all along the bridge interspersed with white sheets intended to invite anyone passing by to leave a message against the war. One of the sheets on the installation reads, "War is only for economic reasons, fought for the interests of strong people who have nothing but to send weak people to slaughter. Stop war."

The street artist had already made in recent days, and hung on the Lungotevere dei Tebaldi, a Time cover with a half-length portrait of Putin, on whose forehead is drawn a large red birthmark in the shape of Ukraine.
