I have recently come across a graphic design duo from Hong Kong called Graphicairlines. I first heard of them on trend forecasting website WGSN, but have since looked at more of their work and it is really inspiring and unique. Their street art is almost like Britains Banksy, but with a more comical edge.
I think that street art like this, especially with messages of a political stance, or just anything to get you thinking is an incredibly important element of todays society. With uprising of the people, coming together, over throwing governments in the middle east and taking a stand for what is right in Russia, Africa and all over the world. We are proving that our world has changed and through the power of the internet and social networking especially, power is coming from the bottom up- not the up down.
So street art is a way for anyone to express their thoughts or post messages. It is free, sometimes illegal, but nevertheless very powerful. Here are some of my favourite works:
Israel’s West Bank barrier, Bansky
Bansky
Anthony Lister, Australia
Street art on the Tate Modern, London
