STREET ART

How did it start?

Street art was born around the 70s in the suburbs of New York. But only around 2000, there is a real diffusion. It was born as a sign of protest and revolt. In the early years street art was seen as an expression of vandalism, but today it is considered real form of art, though always in the background if compared to traditional art. St
reet art shouldn’t be confused with graffiti, which are a separate category.

STREET ART ALL OVER THE WORLD

 

Street art is a form of art displayed in public places, on buildings or on publicly viewed surfaces. It was born as a form of vandalism with graffiti, it has evolved and changed and now street artists use street art to convey political massages, to draw attention on a particular aspect of society or just to show their talent. Street art allows artists to reach everyone.
