Street Art

Tay just reminded me of something else we learned about from Gil today. They have this really interesting street art movement going on here...and maybe everywhere. I'm not really sure but it was very interesting and we've been noticing it all over the place now that we know to look for it. An artist will have a signature piece, style or "thing" for lack of a better word, and will but it all over the place in different styles or iterations if you will. The grafitti artists respect the street art and won't tag over it if they find it worthy of being up. A well known artist we saw a lot of goes by the name Invader and his pieces are just small mosaics of space invaders hidden everywhere. Another, my favorite, was a sort of mask that the artist would make and then affix to the walls so that it looks like a face is trying to squeeze out of the wall. They were just so cool and Gil said they cause quite a lot of conversation because many feel that it is nothing more than grafitti bit many artists have become very well known with this kind of start. Anyway, Tay took some photos. I'll have her post them.
