While travelling you always encounter art, even if you don't visit museums. It's the Street Art (or Urban Art) which I get used to love the most. Coming from the Graffiti culture of the '80s and '90s Street Art is probably its evolution.

In my view, Street Art is beautiful and perfectly fits and enhances the urban environment. It is also more heterogeneus and sophisticated than Graffiti. Sometimes you got the feeling the Graffiti are pretty much similar to each other, like a homogeneus pattern that covers the walls but difficult to differentiate one to the other. Street Art is different, every piece stoods on his own and it is done with different techniques and not only spray. 

The meaning and the message is also different: Graffiti was probably a sort of youths' rebellion to society while Street Art contains a more refined critique on society e.g. think not only about Banksy but also to the artists that portraits faces of the people who lives in those suburban areas (e.g. Ben Slow, C215, etc.). 

I have created a site where I store the material I gaher around (pictures, videos, thoughts). It's all genuine material, no cut and paste. If you want click here
