2/ Understanding street art
Street Art, a visual language
When I talk about street art, I am referring to a form of artistic expression that uses public space as a canvas or stage. It is not simply limited to mural painting but encompasses various techniques such as graffiti, stenciling, collages and more. Street art is a visual conversation between the artist and his urban environment.
The History of Street Art: A Remarkable Evolution
Street art is not new. Its history dates back to the 1960s with political and social graffiti that appeared on the walls of Western cities. However, it was in the 80s that the movement gained importance with artists such as Keith Haring or Jean-Michel Basquiat who brought their unique touch to the genre. Since then, this art form has grown in popularity to become an essential part of the global urban landscape today.
Pop Culture and Street Art: An inseparable link
It would be impossible to discuss street art without mentioning its influence on pop culture - and vice versa. Street artists are often influenced by popular music, cinema, politics and even advertising to create their provocative and thought-provoking works. In turn, they also inspire these popular cultural elements by injecting their personal vision into our everyday environment.Take Banksy for example; his works are strongly marked by relevant social and political commentaries.
