The History of Street Art

The roots of street art can be traced back to the early days of graffiti, when young people began using spray paint to tag their names on walls and trains. In the 1970s, graffiti artists began to experiment with more elaborate designs and murals, and street art as we know it today was born.

In the 1980s and 1990s, street art began to gain international recognition, thanks in part to the work of artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. Today, street art is a global phenomenon, with artists from all over the world creating stunning works of art in public spaces.

The Techniques of Street Art

Street artists use a variety of techniques to create their work, including spray paint, stencils, wheatpasting, and stickers. Some artists also use found objects and recycled materials to create their sculptures and installations.

Street art is often ephemeral, as it is often created on illegal surfaces or removed by authorities. However, some street art has become iconic, and it is now considered to be a valuable form of public art.

The Significance of Street Art

Street art has a significant impact on our cities and our culture. It can be used to express political messages, to beautify public spaces, and to challenge social norms.

Street art is also a way for artists to connect with their communities and to share their unique perspectives on the world. By creating art that is accessible to everyone, street artists help to make our cities more vibrant and inclusive.

Street Art Volume features interviews with some of the world's leading street artists, including Shepard Fairey, Banksy, JR, and Stik.
