As the world moves to cities, so does art. And just as art can inspire political action and resistance, so too do the walls of the city become canvases for important street art messages. The graffiti and street art on this list is perfect for spreading messages about environmentalism and climate change to a wider...

Some strange shadows have popped up of late in Redwood City, California. Flowers sprout from the shadows of bike racks, mailboxes turn into shadow monsters, and shady monkeys hang around atop parking meters. What’s going on? They’re the work of Damon Belanger, a graphic artist living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area. He was...

With the continuing popularity of art on the streets, the attitude that art is made for the gallery only is long gone. In fact, this huge collection of creative street art will show you that the streets are probably the best canvas! Artists such as Banksy, Dran and Hush have mastered the art of merging...

When we last saw Hush, he generously donated a work which artFido cut out of the gallery wall and raised $13,500 for Challenge, an organisation which assists kids with cancer and their families (see HERE). There was such strong bidding on this charity piece – not just because it was raising money for a great cause – but also...

Lushsux’s own tumblr account says it all: “Graffiti’s Number 1 arsehole”. Whether this statement is true or not is up for debate, but one thing’s for sure – he’s done a pretty good job recently at getting the world’s attention with some particularly controversial street art. Some big art accounts have helped spread Lush’s politically-charged...

  We’ve followed Norwegian artist Martin Whatson‘s for some time and it’s not hard to see why.  His works stand out from the increasingly hectic street art scene as a result of their brilliant blend of grayscale scenes with explosions of vibrantly painted graffiti. The works often focus on a singular matte subject, one that is seemingly...

As part of the Rehab 2 festival, 100 artists were recently given the opportunity to paint the interior of a soon to be demolished student residence at the Cité Internationale Universitaire in Paris, making it their canvas. Although the dormitory and all the works will be destroyed when the dormitory is renovated, several photographers have extensively documented...

Around Thanksgiving of 2014, police made the gruesome discovery of a woman’s body stuffed into a Central City trash can in New Orleans, USA. While the neighborhood mourned the woman’s death, observers also noted the presence of a cryptic image on the wall near the Danneel Street alley where her body was stashed, a Cupid-like...

For many years, we’ve admired how Brazilian street artist L7m paints gorgeous portraits of birds. His murals are always full of color and have a palpable energy, and he’s recently brought that same intensity to the streets of Paris and Vitry in France. L7m’s newest pieces blur the line between realism and abstraction, adding in aspects of...

Last week in an unidentified and soon-to-be-demolished building in Melbourne, Australia, a secret street art exhibition titled “The Alpha Project” was held by renowned street artist RONE to a lucky few. As the invitation read: “I have been working on a huge top secret project over the last few months. In fact it is still a secret...

Given the interwebs always seems to be aflutter with news about Banksy, we thought we’d show you the most comprehensive collection of his street art in one spot. Banksy developed an entire art subculture devoted to his works. Banksy’s art can impact any location at any given moment. His identity remains unknown, even after over 20 years of...

Ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy Festivus For the Rest of Us! Whatever you celebrate at this time of the year, we hope you’re able to find some time to relax with your friends and family. To celebrate, we’ve picked some of the coolest seasonal walls and came up with a collection of street...
