Maupal is much more than a street artist.

UNITED KINGDOM---Known for his grand wall painting depicting Pope Francis as a superhero (Super Pope), Mauro Pallotta, also known, as Maupal is much more than a street artist. This has been highlighted in his most recent exhibitions, where he has been noted for painting with distinctive techniques on unusual surfaces. Painting with spray cans, Maupal usually uses steel wool as a veneer, on to which he gives life to his emotionally charged portraits. Taking place at the renowned Le Dame Art Gallery in Notting Hill, the title of Maupal’s latest exhibition Since 1928 pays homage to the theme of life through the expressions and words of Liliana, an old Roman woman, born on the 4th of January 1928.
