Street Art

Power to the people!! is what comes to mind when you think aobut Street art. After all there is an heir of “sticking it to the man” when you take over a piece of public space and use it for your needs. Street art is also where ethnicity clash, using brushes and not bullets, and is always a good thing.

London scene flourish

Antigraffiti laws notwithstanding, a receptive public has helped the London scene flourish. In 2008, the Tate Modern held an exhibition of work by six international artists. Beloved pieces, including satirical stencils by Banksy, are regularly protected by official means (such as sheets of plastic) and unofficial ones (agreements among artists).

Melbourne, Australia

Starting around the millennium, the laneways of Melbourne underwent a change—from nondescript alleys between streets to destinations in their own right. The architecture stayed the same, but the decorations had altered, radically. Almost overnight, an impressive urban art scene erupted. A few years later, the city hosted a stencil festival, now an annual event, cementing Melbourne as a hub for this particular form.
