What better way to mark the 110th birthday of the writer behind 1984 and Animal Farm than this? A Dutch art group called Front404 decorated surveillance cameras in Utrecht with pointy little party hats on June 25, because even the eyes in the sky can appreciate the late literary great and his disturbingly prophetic vision of the future. Front404 […]
We’ve seen a lot of tributes for graffiti writers who have passed away, but never like this. Over the past few days, numerous artists have been descended upon Williamsburg to put up NEKST, a prolific graffiti artist who passed away in December of 2012. For three blocks, the name NEKST appears over and over, each […]
Since day one, we’ve been obsessing over the Bowery Wall that’s currently being painted by REVOK and POSE. As you can see, the font-based piece with several callouts to graffiti kings who have passed away is almost done. (Photo: Aymann Ismail/ANIMALNewYork) […]
In East London, there’s street art… everywhere, so it’s by no means easy to stick out amongst all the noise. Yet, there are a few that do, such as A.CE. His signature wheat-pastes are ubiquitous. Inspired by Dada collage, classic pop art and graphic design, his work is an extension of the graffiti he started […]
Just now, the ceremonial repainting of the Bowery Wall has begun. Next up on the highly trafficked spot — graffiti artists REVOK (Los Angeles) and POSE (Chicago). Coincidentally, REVOK and POSE have a show at Jonathan Levine opening on June 29th. They’ll begin soon. It’s too hot to paint during the day. Go home. We’ll update you […]
For some enhancers of public and private property, street art and graffiti stickers are an important tool in the arsenal. London is covered with them. Click through gallery above. (Photos: Aymann Ismail/ANIMALNewYork) […]
When it comes to precision hits on public spaces, Mobstr deploys several tactics: spray paint, stenciled phrases and mixed-media sculptures. Over the past few years, Mobstr has made a name for himself, literally, while remaining anonymous — a near impossible feat in any city, let alone London, a place notorious for its network of CCTV cameras […]
While walking around Shoreditch last Friday around 11:30PM and not even looking for any more street art, Aymann and I came across two artists painting a mural, legally, on Great Eastern Street. UPDATE: That wall has a name. It’s a busy thoroughfare, so throngs of passers-by stopped, snapped photos with their phones and, for the most […]
When you see a sexy lady giving you bedroom eyes on the street corner, all sorts of things come to mind — her struggle as a mother probably isn’t among them. In Argentina, where (non-organized) prostitution is legal, a national sex workers’ union recently launched a street art campaign hoping to spread their message: Sex […]
The amount of street art in Shoreditch is palpable. It’s all over, creating an almost Disney-like atmosphere as tourists of all ages walk the streets with their smart phones in hand, snapping photos, even if they have no idea who exactly they’re shooting. A lot of the work continually going up in the East London […]
