About the event
Over the past 40 years street art has evolved from its roots in American graffiti to becoming a global art movement. From portraiture to abstract expressionism, many of the major conventional genres are included in street art and the leading artists have ‘exhibited’ their work internationally.
If the only street artist you have heard of is Banksy – and you dislike graffiti, this talk will amaze you. It focuses on a number of different styles of street art as well as some leading artists, including Stik, whose collaboration with Ingrid Beazely of the Dulwich Gallery led to the creation of the Dulwich Outdoor Gallery.
Richly illustrated, this talk includes examples of great street art from various locations in the UK and internationally.
