art on the street

it's my favourite subject at the moment.  i find myself driving all over brisbane looking down the lanes, checking out fences and back of buildings!  photographing as much as i can ...

i love it because it is a fluid beast encompassing art which is found in or inspired by our urban environment. its undertones originated from rebellion, and for those that just make marks on a wall, they still do, but now in some cases it is a means of urban beautification and regeneration and there are some absolutely fantastic work that can only be understood by seeing it.   what i also love is that we can't own it.  it is not for the gallery and it cant become a trophy. it is a form of communication...asking difficult questions and expressing concerns!

whether it s vandalism or public art, street art really has caught the interest of the art world and lovers of beautiful things.

i have been working on a program for anyone that is into street art and i would like to get it out there in the near future (check out my program page).  would love to know if it is something of interest.

Finally have a look at what i found on the weekend...if you like it please follow me (there will be more coming) and share it with your friends...

best wishes
