What is street art?

In 1989, a 19-year-old boy created a close-up advertising poster based on a French wrestler in a skating supplies store in Rhode Island, named "Andre the Giant." Paired with the enigmatic punch line "Andrew the Giant had a militia." The author printed 100 copies of the image, which quickly spread throughout Providence. For artist Shepard Fairey, the excitement this confusing and cryptic slogan brought to the public was just the beginning of his prolific street art oeuvre. Street art, which was previously considered illegal, displays include advertising stickers, posters, stencils, murals and three-dimensional sculptures in large garbage collection sites. But his work, with its message of Constructivism, Art Nouveau and punk symbols, has reached the streets from Melbourne to Barcelona. They have become a feature in art galleries in New York, Los Angeles and Berlin. Fary is an artist who represents the street art trend and is accepted by mainstream art galleries. Last summer, the Tate Modern in London displayed six standing murals on its exterior walls created by a global lineup of street artists. The most distinctive ones are Faile, a pair of artists from New York who use mud to construct graphic images, Blu, an Italian artist who has long been creating black and white graffiti on waste gas buildings across Europe, and artists from A Brazilian brotherhood called Os Gemeos. The Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh included graffiti artist Barry McGee's imaginative and dazzling corridor installation art works at the 55th Carnegie International Festival on January 11. Last year, Espo (a.k.a. Steve Powers)’s solo exhibition was held at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. The permanent collection of the Brooklyn Museum's Modern Art Gallery includes manuscripts by another American artist, Swoon. What an amazing turn for an urban art that has received so far the greatest attention from the art world. "I "I found that the art world has long had a prejudice against artists who do not follow conventions and do not pay the bills of art curators and writers," but he also reiterated that this view is beginning to change, "Now some younger generation of art curators are starting to Follow the artists while they are working on the street or preparing to do something.” This does not mean that street artists do not have a pure art world pedigree. On the contrary, most of them have studied in art schools, although They didn’t get an M.F.A. Fary graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design, Swann graduated from Pratt Institute, McGee graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute, Espoo Recently received a Fulbright scholarship. In their own way, these artists blazed their own path through art galleries to museums, such as New Image Art and the Merry Karnowsky Museum in Los Angeles, and Lazaride Art in London. Lazarides, New York's Jonathan LeVine, Deitch Projects, etc., these art museums help these street artists hone their creations when they encounter bottlenecks. At the Daisch Gallery, Swan expanded her complex linoleum portraits into three-dimensional scenography depicting urban landscapes and residents' lives. The same McCurry is now recognized for transforming interior spaces into bright, geometrically patterned walls, upside-down cars and folk-art-style hulks of sleepy people.
