The modern street art movement continues to provide clever, skilful and politically charged art to the public, with the buildings and walls of the world forming an ever-changing gallery that is always open.
Street art is, by its very nature, ephemeral. A work created one day can be covered up, defaced or embellished in a matter of hours. The works of the more established and respected artists last longer – often years – but still change over time due to changing lighting, the effects of the weather and the surrounding environment. All street art works exist in the context of their location, and associated works at a moment in time.
The Street Art Directory showcases street art, urban art and graffiti works by some of the world’s greatest artists and household names, as well as the less well known, who decorate our cities with murals, paste-ups stencils and sculptures.
