Incredible urban art

In the mid-90s, the concept of urban art referred to the work of a diverse group of artists who developed a way of street art expression using various techniques, such as stickers, murals, templates, posters among others. Nowadays this kind of art uses many different techniques such as street installation with 3D objects.

Urban art usually communicates a very striking message, which is often criticized by society because some still consider it vandalism. Urban art represents social struggle, political issues or the artist’s feelings.

Talented street artists like Banksy represent different social and political issues. Some people wonder whether urban art is illegal or not if it is done with permission, traditional painted graffiti is technically considered public art.

This new movement is different because it is painted on existing street furniture such as traffic signs , bollards , bins , containers , pipes , abandoned cars , bus stops , informational signs , advertising panels or stairways to make their particular works art.

Ordinary objects or walls are turned into a work of urban art thanks to the creative vision of street artists.

Street artists do not need a lot of money to paint their work, a few cans of spray paint and even recyclable materials can be used.

The artists’ vision is not all the same, some communicate subversion and irony, some political and social issues, but most of them want to turn an ordinary street into an outdoor museum.

In cities all over the world, there are groups of urban artists which devote their time to urban art and expressing their way of thinking as well as the different cultures they come from.
