Urban art and graffiti were born on the street and made for the street. However, over the last decade we have seen more and more urban art and graffiti artists move from the streets to art galleries.
Urban art embodies creativity, and so should your personal space. Let’s understand if urban art is now ready to conquer the home.
The growing popularity of urban art.
Street art has remained popular over the past decade, and many famous street artists such as Banksy, Eduardo Kobra and Alec Monopoly have become household names in the art community.
Among them, the anonymous graffiti artist Banksy has created works that have been sold at auction for millions of dollars. Speaking out on everything from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to Black Lives Matter to Brexit, Banksy’s talent knows no bounds. His famous works include Napalm (2004), Love is in the Air (Flower Thrower) (2003) and Girl with Balloon (2002).
Banksy’s Game Changer (2020), a tribute to health care workers and frontline heroes, has been praised by artists and art lovers alike. With the recent political conflicts and social unrest around the world, street art has gained more attention and will continue to do so again this year, and is ready to cross another frontier.
