German street artist Case (Andreas von Chrzanowski) uses spray cans to create photorealistic paintings of people and body parts. He recently completed a mural in Russia working with Wow123, a German artist who works in more traditional graffiti letters and styles. The piece spans the entire surface of a 10 story building, and it combines different styles of street art to create a striking mural.

The new painting by Case and Wow123 is located in the industrial city of Magnitogorsk in Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia. Case creates a set of hands holding a delicate, slightly crumpled paper airplane. Wow123 completes the piece with colorful streaks and strokes along with abstract elements. The two artists' styles and visions were combined into a single mural to induce a feeling of flying downward, or maybe falling upward.
