In the time I've spent around the world, I've developed a small obsession with street art, and have constantly been amazed by the sheer lack of it here in the United States. Though there is plenty on the streets of New York, it is not as much an open part of our culture as it seems to be in other countries. Particularly notable in Chilean and Greek artists, street art fills a space of silence in a modernized world. Whether it serves to help rally against a dictator, to reclaim a 'homeland' or merely express an artistic craving... art is an evolutionary act.

Enjoy!
