Awesome Street Art
Street art showed the first signs of its great potential sometime in the heady atmosphere of mid-1970s New York, when artists such as Jenny Holzer were attracted to the freedom that the urban environment gave them to spontaneously engage with an unsuspecting audience. Holzer exploited public space to her own ends, confronting the passerby with enigmatic texts in places where they would have expected to see commercial messages, so reversing the function of advertisements. Her signature works are her Truisms (1977-2011) such as this one - a series of statements and aphorisms placed across the city via posters, LED signs and hijacked cinema billboards.
Now, street art has spread for and wide across a variety of surfaces and subjects. Have a look at some of the best we've found below!
