Gian Franco Brignone's Copa Del Sol (2006) MEXICO
This story started in January 2004, when the Mexican Navy decided to demolish an old lighthouse on the edge of the beautiful Teopa Peninsula for decades. They wanted to delete it because of its bad conditions, but this situation opened up a new possibility to Gian Franco Brignone (Founder of Careyes).
Gian Franco Brignone East an artist is a vision and as he says "Art is a series of mysterious impulses". The Sun Cup, "Sun cup" has become a magnificent representation of a woman according to Brignone's vision, a woman carries life within herself. The sun, metaphor of life, seems to blend into the Copa del Sol at sunset – thus giving life to the "woman".
2006, Gian Franco offered this artwork as a gift to Careyes and Mexico.
Costa Careyes is not only a country of natural wonders, Mexico is also a place of spiritual meetings. Cosmic art installations of almost astronomical size play on par with earth and light. Legend has it that the pristine beach on which they sit is the place where the gods gathered and creation began. If the myth of Playa Teopa was not worldly enough, Costa Careyes, Mexico is also the resting place of its own meteor.

Specialist in maxi-size images, JR returns to Rio six years after posting giant portraits of Brazilian women in Morro da Providência's favela. His way of making these everyday heroines visible. This time, it pays homage to the values of sport with striking lightness and poetry. The athlete who emerges over a building by the sea is a Sudanese sportsman deprived of OJ after an injury and who ends up in Rio anyway.
Rio de Janeiro was taken over by giants. A massive high jump floats over a tall building, while in the Barra district, a colossal figure slips gracefully into the seawater. Or at least, this is what the French street artist JR wants you to see it.

Visit while running “Sun Cup”, Careyes, Costa Alegre Jalisco (avril 2018)
The Sun Cup, which was built as a monument to women. It’s an incredibly powerful experience. its size is overwhelming and its location, located on a piece of land protruding into the Pacific, is breathtaking. Climb the rachitic ladder to the top and walk around its circumference at sunset, then enter the bowl from its spaceship-like hatch. Take the time to sit down, to breathe, to lie down. Feel the power of the structure inside and listen to the air above you as magnificent birds fly above you. The acoustics are so impressive that you can hear the flutter of their wings above. This is by far my favorite part of Careyes.
