These are the 5 wall painting seems out of the world Katowice's Street Art, The Murals of Lyon, Valencia, Spain, Lodz Poland, Walking tour of Dublin's street art
1) Katowice's Street Art
Poland has a long, lauded tradition of graphic art, with large-scale Polish announcement and poster design known internationally for their high artistic quality. The art form actually bloom under communism and these stylish high-minded aesthetics (although faded) can still be erect around the country’s walls. With such a knack for graphics, it stands to reason that Poles would have a penchant for street graphics as well. And they do. In Katowice, as in other place around PL, street art is presently going through a tidal wave of popularity. In the last few years new street murals have become a common spot around the city. More restaurants and businesses are turning to street artists to playfully dress up their public spaces, and city authorities have even taken the surprising step of sponsoring some large scale murals around the city. In fact, the development of street art as a growing and legitimised artistic regulation has created an interesting dichotomy in Katowice’s urban landscape between both sanctioned and unsanctioned works of ‘graffiti art’ and the prolific gang signs, slurs and football-related graffiti that city paint crews have conduct in their war on ‘vandalism.’ The best thing about street art is that you can visit it anytime of the year, wind, rain or shine, and we fully recommend checking out the yearly plans for the Katowice Street Art Festival (air, for short), and you may even be lucky enough to see some street art being created
2) The Murals of Lyon
In Lyon the walls tell stories,commonly very tall tales. While painting on walls is as old as time, the city has taken the art of modern urban wall painting to new heights with nearly 60 outdoor murals. Some are impressive flights of fancy; others are miraculous examples of trompe l’oeil, outline of everyday life so rational you could almost walk into them Lyon’s love affair with mural art is mostly due to a series of chance encounters more than three decades ago. In the early 1970s a group of local students got to discussing the closed nature of the art world, concluding that art was a form or expression largely confined to galleries and museums. Murals, they
determine, would bring art to ordinary people. They would be direct, effective in portraying ideas, and free A group of ten students went to study modern wall painting in Mexico, where Diego Rivera had launched a new artistic tradition in the 1920s with a series of powerful, storytelling murals that modified Renaissance techniques to transfer modern political messages. Cité Création, their student cooperative movement, was born
3) Valencia, Spain
The art scene of Valencia is dynamic and distinct nationally important artists originate from the city. The city’s public galleries are home to works by Valencia-born artists dating from the Renaissance to the present day. Outside, the city is an open-air gallery of street art and murals, with some famous names regularly making new work that is both visually stimulating and socially and politically challenging.The rise of street art in Valencia is largely due to the work of local resident artists like Hyuro. Originally from Argentina, Hyuro has been adding to the street art scene since she moved to Valencia in 2005. Much of her work has a dream-like quality that invites us to reflect on the monotony and occasional cruelty of city life.
4) Lodz, Poland
The growth of street art in Poland may not be that difficult to put in a historical context as the country has a great tradition of using urban wall space for all manner of creative ideas. The 1960’s - 70’s saw vast wall spaces used for the advertising of communist-era state-run companies and the current vogue for all things retro means that the surviving examples are now being re-assessed and revered as important graphic design visions of the time. Plenty of wall art from this time can still be seen around Łódź, from the ghost-like faded text on the gable-end wall of a building at the end of ul. Traugutta to the relatively well preserved graphic painting of a giant butterfly advertising the state-run Pewex shops (where imported goods could be purchased with US dollars) at ul. Sienkiewicza 21. The project to turn Łódź into an open-air permanent art gallery was initiated by the Urban Forms Foundation back in 2009 and their aim is to improve the current image of Łódź through helping and promoting independent artistic projects in the city’s public spaces
5) Walking tour of Dublin's street art
THE SIDE OF a building is, for multiple artists, a primordial canvas. Afternoon art crawls are a great way to spend your weekend, especially with most places being within walking distance.
Artists have taken to the streets armed with spray cans and tins of paint to create murals that are political, humorous and culturally relevant for passersby. Their aim is to help people look at their city with fresh eyes
SUBSET have dominated the street art scene in Dublin recently, specifically in the Smithfield area. You may have seen their now painted over mural of dust artist Stormzy. Their speciality is photorealistic and provocative portraits of musicians and ordinary folk.
