Art or Photoshop Eraser tool?

"Stenograffia" is a street art and graffiti festival currently taking place in Ekaterinburg, Russia.
It gathers numerous artists from all over the country, from begginers to professionals, giving everyone the possibility to exploit their imagination and to show quite unexpected and original pieces of street art. This initiative has the full support of the administration of Ekaterinburg, and is sponsored by Gazprom (oh, what a surprise) in the framework of its social investment program.

Here is the piece I liked most, and made me smile. Basically, the artists just painted a car and a garage in white and grey squares, making them "disappear from reality". Indeed, to must of us, it reminds the "eraser tool" in Photoshop, and the squares that correpond to transparent layers.    

So I thought it would be hard to impress me by some random Russian street art, after Banksy, Fairey, Thierry Guetta... But I must admit it's really well done!
