Article For Global Street Art



Beberapa saat kemarin kami mendapat info bahwa Global Street Art membuka open call bagi para blooger seluruh dunia untuk mengirimkan artikel tentang skena street art dan graffiti di kota masing-masing. Kami tentu tidak melewatkannya. Nah, berikut adalah petikan artikel yang kami kirimkan.


A man drawing an empty blank wall. Slowly he began to decorate the walls using spray paint. People around passing just to take pictures. Some locals wonder about the legality of the activity. The young man replied that he had received permission from the wall owner. Apparently, the owners are happy with the picture wall made by this young man and surprisingly even had leave a special request  to the artist. Finally, a play on Michelangelo, Creation of God image was painted on the wall. Not to forget the lettering of Surya Fitness, a special appreciation of the artist to the wall owner who is also the owner of small fitness business. Simple and effective.

The story above is the real story of Popo and Robowobo, the street artist and his friend, who shared their experiences when they draw on the walls of ordinary citizen who happen to have a business in the fitness services. I perceive that the relationship between the people in my city in Denpasar and street art and graffiti is mutualism symbiotic relationship which the artist was able to pour their work and the resident of a public space can enjoy the art freely and create a good atmosphere. This relationship can be maintained in order to produce a good relationship between art and society.
