Otherlinks: The Best Places to Find Street Art Around the World
Otherlinks:- Best Cities to Find Street Art
Street art has grown to become a global phenomenon and is
rapidly becoming a part of the commercial space. Advertising agencies in
particular are intrigued and somewhat envious with the results street art can
produce. The influence street art has on people is virtually unmatched because
of how well it is executed by professionals.
When done right, street art has the potential to make people
ponder over their state of affairs, and think of possible steps to rectify
them.
This wasn’t always the case in the early 70s. The idea of
modern street art was still catching on, mostly used by gangs interritorial
wars and disputes, which later on evolved into more innocent exhibitions of
creativity. While most street artists prefer to remain anonymous, they leave clues
that can be put together in order to find out more about them. At OtherLinks, we present a list of the
more tolerant cities that allow artists to hone their talents.
Mexico City
Mexico City is thriving with some thoughtful, and
thought-provoking, public murals, changing the city landscape for the better.
Giving more legitimacy to the art form is the vibrant “All City Canvas” event
which invited artists from all corners of the world to paint buildings under
the safe supervision of law enforcement.
Belfast, Ireland
While street art in London is a historically pretty recent
phenomenon, the trend caught pace rapidly and today has redefined the landscape
for the better. Of particular significance to street art in the UK is Belfast,
which is hailed as one of the most tolerant places for street art. One only
needs to walk the streets to see brightly colored buildings, including private
places such as houses and pubs.
Prague, Czech Republic
Very few places demonstrate their love for street art like Prague.
Street art is actively pursued over there and artists always have something new
to contribute. More popular street artists in the local area include CRYTIC256,
TRON and SKARF. Officials haven’t been able to find their real names, but you
can identify their work by spotting their initials.
Bogota, Colombia
Bogota takes its love for public murals to a whole new
level, where it is common to find street art on every corner of the city. The
most popular artist goes by the moniker “CRISP”. He is known to give fans of
street art a tour of the city, showing off fascinating works of art that might
otherwise go missed. CRISP hasn’t fully retired from performing street art, but
is now focused primarily on commentary about the paintings and what they mean to
the locals.
