Street Art is one of the most powerful art

Street Art is one of the most powerful art movements in the world today.This however has not led to any real recognition of the art form. A lot of art critics argue that so called street art is nothing more than just glorified graffiti at best and acts of vandalism at worst.It is not uncommon for even the most famous pieces of street art to be painted over by council contractors or the owners of the buildings on which they were painted. Even so this street art has risen in popularity and the public consciousness greatly in recent years and this is greatly, although not solely, due to the elusive guerrilla artist known as Banksy.

Street artist Banksy uses his work to criticise corporations for their globalization of mainstream culture.Tesco, McDonalds and Disney are just some of the many multinationals to have experienced the Banksy treatment by having their logos satirically juxtaposed with an image of poverty or terror.
Street Art is done all around the world but it stared very secretly because it was illegally to paint on public property you can find it everywhere you look. The street art can involve traditional graffiti artworks which include stencil graffiti, sticker art, wheat pasting and street poster art, video projection, art intervention, guerrilla art, flash mobbing and street installations.
Street art has become a global culture and even art museums and galleries are collecting the work of street artists. Street art started out very secretly because it is illegal to paint public and private property without permission.Some people think it is a crime and some think it is a very beautiful new form of culture.

Over the last few years, there has been a growth of public art with sculptures and murals appearing in shopping centres, streets and town squares. Large format printing is increasingly playing a role here as huge banners appear over buildings.
Some of these images are so striking, imaginative and attractive that they hardly even seem like advertising and, to the casual passer-by look more like a work of art - which is arguably what they are.But these large format printing pieces are also good for preserving a city's heritage.
