WHAT IS STREET ART FOR ME?

Street art is when an artist exhibits or displays his works of art in the street, and all of us can see them. Most of the time, they paint on a wall, on buildings or houses,  which is illegal. They paint in the street in order to have more impact on people or just to force people to see what they have done or what they want us to understand. I think when you are an artist or more specifically a street artist, you are a rebel. I mean, you paint illegally in various spaces, you denounce a specific subject etc.. But that’s kind of cool I think ! In general, we call those graffiti « tags ». We can see some in the underground or on big walls.

I love this kind of art because I think it’s really original even if it has existed for thousands of years, this new trend’s growing really fast and in very different forms every year.
