商品簡介
Urban street art is an art form that reflects society at the time the art work was created. It can be a remark on something in the media, current events, or it can be the artist's own personal comment. I street art, the motive, of course is important, but also the message - often a reaction or a counter-reaction to current affairs, that the artist wants to communicate to the public. And street art is easily apprehended because of its simple visualization. In the aftermath of July 22nd 2011, street art artists reacted in their own way to the horrendous acts carried out that day. In Oslo there were many different "Oslo paintings" and messages of support, and all around Norway artists put up stencils in memory of those who were taken away. It was also a way for the artists themselves to mourn. These last few years, the Norwegian street art scene has gone from an anonymous existence to gaining international recognition. With the release of Street Art Norway V.2 we want to communicate this development to a wider audience.
