The kids have been out & about, transforming the neighbourhood into a mixed media collage.
“Scissors, paste, images, and genius in effect superseded brushes, paints, models, style, sensibility, and that famous sincerity demanded of artists.” René Magritte
“If one looks at a thing with the intention of trying to discover what it means, one ends up no longer seeing the thing itself, but thinking of the question that has been raised. The mind sees in two different senses: (1) sees, as with the eyes; and (2) sees a question (no eyes).”
René Magritte
This is a nice group of shots with added value in the quotes that I have not heard before. Great stuff 🙂

They fit the street art scene pefectly, I just enjoy it, rather than analyse it 🙂

Really interesting combination of text and image. There’s something of Magritte’s dreamlike wooziness about some of the images.

The level of talent of these graffiti artists never ceases to amaze and the Magritte quote is perfect for the collage. I really enjoy these posts, EllaDee. Thanks.

Thank you 🙂 I’m glad you enjoy. Street art is not to everyone’s taste but I love going about my walks and seeing it. It seems real and live, as it’s ever changing.

Is the same thing happening in Sydney, I am noticing that many artists are doing their artwork on paper and than pasting it onto walls, quite interesting.

I have been seeing paste ups for a while… I posted some earlier sheep… I would love to do it myself 😉
