Who is the Artist Who Changed the Rules of Street Art?
Have you ever been intrigued by the mysterious appeal of Banksy, the most influential and famous street artist of all time, whose identity is still a mystery? Since the 1990s, this artist has been transforming the urban landscape around the world with his distinctive stencil technique. The speed of this methodology allows him to remain hidden, both from the general public and the authorities.
Here are Banksy’s works, what is their significance and where to see them.
Have you ever wondered how Street Art went from being an act of rebellion to an accepted and celebrated art form? Let’s go in order and start from where it all originated.
This art is not confined within the four walls of a gallery or museum. No, it is alive and vibrant, painted on exterior walls, embedded in alleyways, and often, an active commentary on the social and cultural context in which it is found.
How did street art go from being considered a simple act of vandalism to a complex, influential and respected art form, so much so that it is celebrated by art critics and the art market?
Have you ever been so fascinated by a work of art that you lose yourself completely in its mystery and fascination? If the answer is yes, then you will love the works of Anish Kapoor.
Kapoor’s creations not only enchant visually, but also stimulate deep reflection on many sensory levels. The artist captivates through the use of ambiguity, prompting anyone who comes across them to use all their senses to probe hidden meanings.
Here are the most important works you need to know.
