BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAYLuna Park
An unruly stepchild of the graffiti era, street art is a global art movement well into its third decade and still going strong. While graffiti is traditionally limited to the aerosol arts, street art knows no such boundaries. Street artists make full use of traditional as well as digital media and are equally as likely to be self-taught as classically trained artists.
Regardless of its origins, all street art is united in the fight against time, the elements, property owners and the general public, all forces which conspire to varying degrees towards eradicating it. Street art, therefore, is an ephemeral art form, largely unseen outside the circle of practitioners and followers. Is it any wonder that it goes unnoticed, being but one component in an increasingly oversaturated, urban landscape?
