What is street art? What is the difference between street art and gallery/museum art? While the end of the 20th century still raised the question whether street art should be seen as acts of vandalism or as a form of art, today its status as a prestigious global phenomenon that is increasingly taken seriously by the art establishment is undoubtable. With illustrious representatives such as Banksy, British street art takes a special place in the arena of global street art today and the cities of London, Birmingham and Bristol have their reputation for the freedom of the creative spirit that is street art. In this lesson we will discuss some of the most prominent British street artists active today whose inspiring art enriches, energizes, and revigorates the canvas of British cities, at the same time also formulating a critical and triggering voice about contemporary political, social, and public issues (such as environmentalism, equal rights, consumerism, etc.). We will discuss some of the most prominent works of street art by artists such as Annatomix, Stik and Banksy, as powerful examples of the cosmopolitan British street art today.
