Street art is an art form that is displayed in public on buildings, streets, trains, and other publicly visible surfaces in the surrounding area. Many examples come in the form of Guerrilla Art, which seeks to make a personal statement about the society in which the artist lives. Cultural theorists and art historians seem to need a temporary distance; there must be a significant and determined period with origin, climax and future perspective. At the same time, it is always a question of referring to a cultural context, or to social structures and semiotic interpretations; ultimately, it is a question of identity.
In the context of street art, it can be said that it is a movement, definitely an artistic expression, even more than that: an art form in its own right. Unauthorized street art interventions usually aim to surprise spectators by presenting a visually realistic and, at the same time, incredible situation. Specialized computer programs allow artists (such as MOMO, born in San Francisco) to better plan their graffiti works and prepare their templates and posters of wheat pasta, while digital photography used together with the Internet and social networks allows them to document, share and immortalize works of street art, where before most of the pieces tended to disappear when municipal authorities removed them or painted them by other artists. One of the most respected names in the field of documenting street art scenes, who would gladly attest to this, is Martha Cooper, photographer.
Some apply the post-graffiti label to the work of street artists who also participate in the world of conventional art, although it is a bit inappropriate, since many of these artists continue to carry out illegal public interventions while participating in authorized exhibitions in galleries and museums. The work is a good example of how some renegade street artists were able to move from their unauthorized urban canvases to become a credible art forum. Coming from the context of urban spaces, street art now lives in the cultural spaces of galleries, virtual communities and public discourses and, recently, has become an object of appropriation by popular culture and the dominant symbolism of contemporary times. Reverse graffiti poses a unique problem for law enforcement officers, who are generally conditioned to understand street art as a form of vandalism.
Some of the aspects of the early graffiti artists' desire to create in urban environments still reside in the contemporary artistic expression of street artists. Template: This type of street art includes a homemade template, usually a cutout of paper or cardboard, to create an image that can be easily reproduced. So what's the difference between graffiti and street art? It can be difficult to pinpoint an exact answer in black and white. In terms of technique, street art tends to be based on images, while graffiti is more commonly based on words.
He began creating street art in 1999, spending several days in his studio preparing wheat pasta posters made with recycled paper and then transporting the finished works to urban public spaces, where he glued them to walls. This phenomenon also presents difficulties for art historians, since the large number of street artists, as well as their tendency to remain anonymous, make it difficult to interact with individual artists in a profound way.
