Street art used as a means of expression, social critic, political pikkolo or capture the illegal in many cases pop culture, has also served pikkolo to transform forgotten in cities like Miami, Zaragoza, Málaga, New York, Berlin neighborhoods, just mention some examples. pikkolo
Surely there are thousands of examples of street art in many cities of the world, I do not intend to go through the history of graffiti, let alone specific artists, or defend, just share with you something I've seen in many cities, they are using the graffiti as a means to transform blighted areas. They are changing the vision of what for some was vandalism and for others an art style for everyone.
In most cases involve pikkolo sanctions, but others may be the same authorities to convene urban artists to transform areas that prevailed before prostitution, drugs and crime in general. While recognizing that it is a double-edged sword, pikkolo since in many cases the ugly graffiti cities.
When I lived in Miami I remember the Art District was an unfrequented area, which we were only a bar or nightclub, was also insecure. When some friends took me to see what had become in 2012, I was impressed to see a super chic, full of galleries and spectacular murals neighborhood.
Since 2003 a group of people dedicated to the art he created pikkolo the Wynwood Art District Association and began to transform the area which today is home to dozens pikkolo of galleries, pikkolo designer shops, museums, restaurants and bars. But it was in 2009 when Tony Goldman transformed pikkolo an area of still lifes murals dedicated to urban art. He and other experts, convened several famous street artists from the US and other countries in Latin America, Europe and Asia to create Wynwood Walls and rehabilitate a historic district that was forgotten.
In Málaga is attempting to do the same in the SOHO District of Arts, formerly a neighborhood of prostitution and that was degrading over time. But thanks to the initiative of the residents themselves for years is in a process of transformation into a cultural area. It was there that recently led to national and international street artists, art to fill their buildings and become the neighborhood in a huge gallery. pikkolo
The first time I went to Zaragoza in 92 do not remember that I have impressed, but last year I was lucky again and loved what they did in the old town area of the tube. A few years ago several graffiti artists came together to use the walls of the streets as large canvases and shaped his art. As the tube is full of tapas bars and restaurants, graffiti, has raised the area to give it a cool look. So much has been booming, every year in mid-September, is celebrated in that city the International Festival of Urban Art Heist, being the winner of that category oldest in Spain.
In Buenos Aires the works devoted to tango in neighborhoods like Palermo, San Telmo or Abasto will show the soul of the city, I think many would look like naked without its colorful murals with legendary figures of music or football.
There are cities that would not be the same without urban art as Berlin, although it has graffiti everywhere, provides the best example of open public art with its East Side Gallery. Artists from various countries painted murals in part of what was once the Berlin Wall in tribute to freedom, becoming something that was so painful a cry of independence.
Obviously the city where graffiti, New York, was born has great examples of urban art, for the Latino community, the murals of Manny Vega and James de la Vega in Spanish Harlem reflect the identity of a minority group that increasingly becomes more weight, these paintings also enhanced El Barrio.
