DEFINITIONS
Street art is art developed in public space— the streets—. It is often unsanctioned, but nowadays also includes sponsored initiatives. It includes "traditional" graffiti artwork, sculpture, stencil graffiti, sticker art, wheatpasting and Street Poster Art and even street installations. My favourite street art is contemporary public-space artwork rooted in territorial old skool graffiti.
"Street Artists have challenged conventional concepts of art by situating it in non-art contexts. Street artists do not aspire to change the definition of an artwork, but rather to question the existing environment with its own language. They attempt to have their work communicate with everyday people about socially relevant themes in ways that are informed by esthetic values without being imprisoned by them." Ref.: Schwartzman, Allan, ''Street Art''

art of hiphop
Subway station, Paris, France
The roots of Grafitti inspired moderrn street art are deeply based in HIPHOP culture. The 4 pillars of HIPHOP are the arts of MCing, DJing, Bdancing and of course last but not least Grafitti. All of which are in origin STREET ARTS.
HERE I want to pay tribute to the other STREET ARTS, those other pilllars of HIPHOP culture. I have dabbled in all these artforms (except DJing), but my sole intention is to profess my unfaltering love for HIPHOP.
