Street Art – from the street to the living room

From the street directly into your living room, comes street art. The sensational art form that moves in a borderland between social protest and pure art, by raising political questions, making art accessible to everyone and challenging our way of thinking. But there is really no clear definition of what street art is, but rather it must be seen as a concept under which many different types of artistic expressions take place in the public space. Namely, it is out on the public streets, as the name suggests, that we initially find these works of art of various kinds.

Within this art form, whether you meet it outside in the cities, art galleries, or in the form of paintings in Street Art, it is common to use stencils, stickers, and posters. But street artists can also work in many different mediums and techniques where they create everything from huge murals, to sculptures and installations.

 

Something that is quite unique to street art is the mystery that often surrounds the creator. It is believed that it gives a purer, more honest form of art when the artist does not make himself fully known. One example is, the street artist Banksy, who in recent years has become almost legendary and whose auctioned works have sold for several millions SEK.

What is the difference between street art and graffiti?

Although the definition of street art is not entirely clear and the art form often seems to overlap with graffiti art, there are differences. Where street art is a more socially accepted and public art that is meant to include its surroundings, graffiti is traditionally a narrower subculture that targets its followers.
