Street art is one of the most magical kinds of art out there.
What’s awesome about it is that it is usually done in public places for all to enjoy.
Unfortunately street art doesn’t last long before cities paint over them.
Here are 25 examples of amazing pieces of street art before they disappeared.
#25 I am what I am and I’m a fan of Popeye the
Sailor man.
Popeye was a beloved character for millions of kids in the 80s and 90s and he inspired
young boys everywhere to wolf down spinach like it was going to give them super powers.
To be honest I never really got we he saw in olive oil though, she was way to skinny.
This fan even got a tattoo of Popeye on his arm, which is awesome until you realize that
every time you go to take a fee that you’ll be getting a candy from Popeye.
#24 Oh man, see this is what happens when you
go to hard fawn mcnuggets.
Looks like Ronald had a big night out.
You really need to pace yourself anytime you walk into the golden arches.
Get yourself a Happy Meal and walk it off Ronnie.
#23 This Dutch artist is absolutely eggcellent.
He’s truly eggceptional at creating art that portrays the sunny side of life and he
makes sure not to scramble the message.
I’m not going to walk on shells, I’m just going to come out and say it, he’s an eggspert.
#22 Some people don’t mind a little push and
this some street art with them in mind.
It is a bit surprising to see a push like this out in public, public!
Personally I think maintenance is important but be carful with those peers!
#21 These next two installations are from the
artist Kelly Goeller from New York.
They’re called Pour and Pour 2.0.
Personally I think this pixelated stuff looks awesome, It’s like we’re living in a video
game.
Very avant guard, great work Kelly!
#20 Coming in at number 20 is a massive piece
of street art that literally takes up the whole street.
It’s located in a Chinese village and It took two days to complete.
Passer bys can enjoy the simulated feeling of walking on air.
#19 It’s just a basic truth that some art just
tucks and that water does not look potable, this guy really should be boiling it before
drinking.
Maybe that’s why he’s so pale?
#18 This installation was created by Spanish Artist
Isaac Cordal who likes to use his art to convey messages to the audience.
His themes are a bit different from the standard street artist because he focuses his emphasis
on global problems such as climate range and sputtering economies.
This piece is called “Politicians Debating Climate range”.
It’s both moving and poignant, It seems to scream that the viewer that out politicians
won’t act on this looming breath until its too late.
Isaac is best known for his small cement sculptures that he leaves scattered all over Europe.
He’s been building quite the reputation and his following has exploded over the last
few years.
#17 I had to… pick this piece for the list.
The artist magnificently blends the background with the fro ground for an installation that
will stay fresh until next season.
#16 Banksy is perhaps the most eminent contemporary
street artist and is renowned for his subversive, anti-establishment messages that are usually
served with a dash of humor and Irony.
He gained popularity for some now famous works that kept popping up all over the world in
the early 2000s including this piece on the wall of the Israli West bank.
In 2015 he created a temporary amusement park in England that is a biting satire of Disneyland.
Banky’s park was named Dismaland and it had some bizarre features including a nightmarish
fairytale castle and this airport style cardboard security checking area
#15 Nothing can sir alive a kick from Bruce Lee,
and this railing just entered the dragon.
“Water can flow or it can crash” “Be Water My Friend” -Bruce Lee
#14 For a lot of us this Snoopy piece fits a little
close to home.
9 times out of 10 if you see me Monday through Friday I’m daydreaming that I’m in bed.
#13 We got heroes in a half shell!
This artist has made the tear some biting team come to life in the streets, and he didn’t
even have to use the secret Lose.
Rest assured that when the evil bread her attacks these turtle boys wont cut him no
slack!
#12 Street artist Damon Belanger has taken his
talents to the sidewalks of California.
Cities like Redwood CA have actually partnered with Damon so that he can bring what he calls
“shadow art” to the people.
Damon’s shadows frequently get people to stop and do a double take, it’s nice to
enjoy their wacky and permanent shapes but they also help people to appreciate the transient
beauty of real shadows.
Damon’s art evokes a feeling of nostalgia that harkens back to those old childhood shadow
creatures on the wall.
#11 This one is just nice, we may have our differences
and trust issues with one another.
But the world would be a better place if we could learn to love those that are different
from us.
No one could accuse this artist’s message as being irrelephant.
#10 You gotta kick that mast he habit sewer.
Your breath is bad enough without fig of rest #9
Perhaps one of the most brilliant brand advertisements ever and it’s in the form of street art.
It’s perfectly placed in a spot where everyone can see it and where everyone is looking while
they’re walking.
Minimilist and effective, you could even say that this art is…clean
#8 American street artist Mark Jenkins is known
for using the city around him as a canvas.
And he’s pretty good at putting a smile on your face.
Here’s one of his works which features this little statue that’s doing he best to hold
one.
Basically his style is to create art that messes with your head.
He specializes in making you feel like you should call nine fun one
#7
This colorful and eye catching installation from Felice Varini is awesome!
When everything lines up at the correct angle it all comes together in one mind mowing visual
experience that seems to defy depth.
# 6 I’m not even sure what’s going on here.
Like this dude is definitely real.
And he has real hands that look like they’re holding a fake hose.
And taking a look at this guy I think the only hose that he could ever get his hands
on would have to be imaginary.
#5 Watch your 6!
You gotta snail on your tail!
Grab some salt or get out of the way!
The use of the pole as one of its antenna’s is an awesome touch!
#4 This tape art by artist Aakash Nihalani is
proof that artists can…sum..times be good a math.
This guy’s arithmetic is on point.
Aakash’s MO is that he uses angular geometric shapes to stage playful interventions in dull
street landscapes, giving his viewers a…window…to a whole new world.
#3 Art is best when it performs a function.
While waiting for the bus in Milan after an irritable day you can use the FRA Biancoshock
Anti-Press Station to smooth out all of your worries.
The artist had the brilliant idea to hand square sheets of bubble wrap for transit patrons
to pop as they wait.
You can choose from 3 different sizes to fit the need of your personal wait time.
Perhaps one of the cheapest therapeutic inventions ever made.
#2 Artist Joe Carnevale should probably be deep
rained for van doll rising the community’s infrastructure but there’s something too
fantastic about what he does that I feel like we should give him a pass.
Carnevale will take everyday objects such as pylons, barrels and street signs and transform
them into art.
From a T-Rex to a Street warrior, theres nothing that this guy cant use to for his creative
flow.
#1 Watch out gentlemen, this girl runs with a
pack.
But I hear that if you can get in with her crew she’ll have you howling all night.
