Street art is a movement, an artistic expression, but surely, even more than that... Perhaps, an art form in its own right. In any case, it's certain that street art has become a major current in contemporary art.
The origins of Street Art?
One thing is certain: the origins of street art lie in the creative process shaped by the artist's intention to form an antithesis to the dominant societal context. To express this protest, graffiti artists use urban furniture as their artistic medium.
The artistic movement reached its peak in the 1970s and 1980s when many artists such as Keith Haring, the painter Basquiat or Andy Warhol exhibited their creations to the general public.
In the early 2000s, a new, anonymous artist captivated contemporary art enthusiasts: Banksy. He has literally left his mark on art history with his striking murals. These black and white collages are known worldwide. Some of our printed canvases are dedicated to him through reproductions of hismost famous works. If you wish, a museum in Amsterdam (Moco) pays tribute to him, hosting numerous exhibitions showcasing his finest graffiti as well as some of his sculptures.
