An ongoing and super cool part of living in one of the two 2017 Culture Capitals of Europe is the explosion of street art. The organisers have twice invited foreign pro painters to join the native pros and we have been presented with some brilliant, sometimes confounding, always magnetic and skillfully executed works.
And the not-so-pro…
Like wild flowers along the by-lanes, little unsanctioned works have been appearing on walls along the roads further out of town and into the villages. Most of them I like; all of them are clearly trying to convey something important from their creator. I think they deserve inclusion; everybody has to start somewhere.
ENJOY! (and there is more – see the links at the bottom of this post)

Thank you, an enjoyable and fascinating collection of images to peruse and ponder. There is some excellent work shown across this collection, and in places great use of space, colour and style.
I find there is something very unique about urban art due to its transgressive nature – being very much the voice of the city at its grass-roots level it reflects the mood, swing and sway of culture, but is far more direct and far less inhibited than more mainstream imagery. I like the rawness and immediacy of it.
Thanks for sharing.
Namaste 🙂
