Street Art, Never Fails to Make Me Laugh
Street art is so amusing because it is generally painted into an already existing structure (here is the link). What made me want to keep looking through all of these examples was the incredibly simple piece where someone spray painted a face onto a broken building. The face caught my attention because it appears to be incredibly cheerful and optimistic though the building that once stood is in shambles. To me, it seems like the artist knows how to make the best of any situation by creating this piece. I also feel that this artist did this to encourage those around them that things will improve, something that is broken can actually be something beautiful with the right approach. Am I reading too much into this, maybe, but that does not change how I view the art piece. To be cliche, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I see this wrecked building as a reconstructed and completed piece of art. The emotional impact that this piece had is incredible. Hope in desperate situations is a rairty these days, and I admire that artists have the ability to spread that hope through little actions without expecting much in return (if anything at all).
