I am just absolutely diggin' the Latin American Street Art scene at the moment. So vibrant and energetic, and a lot of the time politically driven. From Argentina to Brazil, these guys know their stuff. Also, I think their rich street art culture contributes greatly to their well known reputation for buzzing street life and a passion for colour.
Some of the mentionable names include Triangulo Dorado, Blu, Chu Eltono and Gualicho. Check out their rad art below:
Guerilla art, also referred to as "street art", is a method of art making where the artist leaves anonymous art pieces in public places. It is often an installation in an unauthorized location. It is a way for an artist to express their views and opinions to a large audience in an anonymous way. In contrast to popular belief, guerilla art does not have to be done with spray paint. Other popular forms include videos and projections. There is no one motivation for making guerilla art. However, popular reasons include statement making, the sharing of ideas, the desire to send out good karma, and plain fun. Many times guerilla art is used to make a political statement, however, for this assignment it is used to make a statement about creativity. [http://guerilla-art.wikidot.com/what-is-guerilla-art]
