Public Painting- Outsized Object
With the emergence of the second Generation Street Artist, we see a revitalization of painting/ art in the public space. Following in the steps of the Grafitti artists (an art form born here in the Bronx), these artists take a guerilla style approach to make their work seen. Often engaging with a specific site, the meaning of their art and the location are interwoven- being stronger for the connection. Often showcasing rebellious flair and political commentary, the work enters into the conversation of art making, politics of public space, and image ownership. Below we will see some examples of contemporary artists painting / installing work in public spaces.
