Art Touches Souls on the Streets
Recently, street art has started to come to life in our country and touch all kinds of souls on the streets. It has become one of the simplest ways of interacting with human existence. While most countries support the practice of this art, street art is actually rooted in rebellion and defiance. While sometimes we see very large photographs on the walls, other times we witness huge paintings and caricatures. On the other hand, even if there are those who are uneasy about using the term "art", it is now possible to see the works of those who devote themselves to this art in leading galleries around the world. Rather than using the names given to them by their families, they prefer to make a name for themselves by using pseudonyms. There is also a lot of anonymous work.
It is handled in several different ways:
It usually appears as writings on the wall made in the style of spray paint, stickers, stencils, prints and posters. Graffiti is the most common type of street art.
The huge paintings on empty building facades are called mural.
Let's get to know some of the names that introduced and endeared these works of art to us in the world:
René Moncada
René Moncada, known all over the world, came to the forefront with his 'I AM THE BEST ARTIST'. Thanks to their contributions, 'Mural' has gone beyond the art made only in neighborhoods and started to become iconic symbols of the world.
John Fekner
The artist has created hundreds of environmental, social, political and conceptual works of words, symbols, dates and icons in the United States, Sweden, Canada, England and Germany.
Rustam Qbic
The artist, who is devoted to street art and takes it beyond life, has become an expert in his field. His murals, which appear in both expected and unexpected places, beautify not only the demolished walls of abandoned buildings but also apartment buildings. A graffiti artist from Tatarstan colored the side facade of Moda Ağabey Street Emek Apartment Building with his work called "Miracle".
Those who want to see Turkey's most striking murals can walk the streets of Kadıköy, Yeldeğirmeni and Moda.
