London street art

What is street art? It can be seen by thousands and even millions of people everywhere in the city streets. It is free! The street artists do not sell the tickets, not invite people to their openings.

Each year street artists look for new and unusual forms of self-expression. But still, the main branch of street art is graffiti. In London you can see graffiti everywhere! On the walls, on the buildings, in specialized places. But the problem is that graffiti is an illegal art. There are some places which were officially presented to graffiti artists by the government or some walls which were just given by the owners for experiments, and some old buildings which are getting ready for demolition and nobody cares.

There is a system of the authors' tags on almost all graffiti. Traditional graffiti artists are writers: they write words or texts with their own individual fonts. But now you can see posters, stickers, template graffiti. Some even work with markers or brushes.

A lifetime of graffiti can last from several hours to years; it depends on the fame of the artist, having free space and cleaners who all the time have to clean up the city walls. If anyone writes or draws anything on the wall with the sign «stick no bills» he can get a fine up to several thousand pounds, community service or even a prison term.

There is no definite difference between graffiti art and graffiti vandalism. That's why almost all graffiti artists cover their faces and do not take pictures with their works. Nobody wants to have any troubles with the police.
