See http://www.buzzfeed.com/hgrant/amazing-street-art-from-30-countries-around-the-wo first . Then you’ll know what I’m commenting upon. As artists (yes, each of you are!) I believe you may find this art intriguing. As you don’t know, a friend of mine and I meet from time to time to review his photography some of which he has altered in Photoshop in an imaginative surrealistic fashion some of which is simply very well taken/framed/set-up, some of people, some of lonely land- or building- scapes. I provide the ‘critique’ which he seems to enjoy. He provides the art – which I enjoy. He sent me the link above a few days ago. My response this morning:

Just getting to this – in toto – this morning. Saw parts of it on the Droid last week but needed to spend a few minutes with it (at least!) and do it on the computer where there is a larger and net-faster screen.

OUTSTANDING! Fascinating. Intriguing.

My only wish, in regards to this art, would be commentary from the locals or the artists that provides the political context, the artistic context, or simply the thought that inspired the art itself. Some are merely whimsical but there is a message in most – some of which in interpretable by the uneducated (such as me), but some of which we might benefit from more background. The generally surreal nature of this style and this placement of art is immensely appealing. I wonder if Dali did any work on public buildings? What I’ve seen of his was always on standard media for the time, or so it appears today. I’ve always been delighted by the use of otherwise austere and wasted public or private wall space for such imaginative art such as the whaling walls by Wyland. Not surreal, except in placement, but appeals to one’s sense of economic leverage, artistic expression and public enjoyment of unique and mind-bending talent.
