Life is Easy

ICY & SOT (Saman Oskouei b. 1985, Iran and Sasan Oskouei b. 1991, Iran) “Life is Easy” (2014) is an aerosol and stencil painting on wood measuring 35.5 x 47 inches by the well-known street artists who have now lived and worked in New York since 2008. Set in a beautiful grassy and hilly environment, one of the buildings displays a stencil image of two young people who appear to be escaping from something or somewhere. Works by these brothers are about peace, war, love, hate, joy, hope, despair, children, injustice, human rights and the plights of migrants and refugees. The artists captivate viewers with the beauty of the piece and engage people with its urgent message. “Life is Easy” was first exhibited at the expo collective at La Galerie Mathgoth in Paris in January-February 2015.
