Street art refers to visual art created in public locations, often outside of traditional venues such as galleries and museums. It encompasses a wide variety of media and techniques, including graffiti, murals, stencils, posters, and installations. Street art is typically characterized by its accessibility to the general public, being displayed in urban environments where it can engage with a diverse audience.
The term is often associated with a subculture that seeks to challenge social norms, provoke thought, and express political or personal messages through art. While graffiti has historically been linked to vandalism, street art has gained recognition as a legitimate art form, with many artists achieving significant acclaim and exhibiting their work in established art institutions.
Street art is distinguished from public art in that it often lacks formal permission from city officials. The spontaneous nature and the often ephemeral quality of street art contribute to its dynamic character, allowing artists to respond to current events and social issues abruptly. It plays a significant role in the revitalization of urban spaces and has become a cultural phenomenon, influencing contemporary art practices and discussions around public space usage and artistic expression.
