STREET ART SPREADS ITS WINGS

By several students at IES de Catabois.

Street art or the expression of artists on the walls of many European towns and cities today has provided them with a new image, as you can see in the photograph below. It is called Polish-Hungarian Friendship Tree and shows the close connection between the Polish and Hungarian cultures. There is a text on the mural which reads:
“Hungary and Poland are two forever-living oaks, which have their own trunks, but their roots are far beneath the earth: they have joined and invisibly merged. So the existence and strength of each one is tied to life and health of the other.” — Stanislaw Worcell

Banksy: 'The New Generation'

  

By Bella Jasmin Kahia González, 4th year ESO.

When we think about street art, the first name that comes to our mind is the name Banksy.

There are a lot of great talents in the streets at present, but undoubtedly, this guy has marked urban art forever and he's and he will be a role model for a whole generation of young artists in the world of graffiti.

'His Hidden identity'

Banksy is an England-based graffiti artist, political activist and film director of unverified identity. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed by a distinctive stenciling technique.

His works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls and bridges of cities throughout the world. Banksy's work grew out of the Bristol uderground scene, which involved collaborations between artists and musicians.

Observers have noted that his style is similar to Blek le Rat, who began to work with stencils in 1981 in Paris. Banksy says that he was ispired by 3D, a graffiti artist who later became a founding member of Massive Attack, an English musical group.
