Street Art

Here is a selection of images of street art by the artist Blu. Not much is known about who he is, however he is a prolific street artist originating in Buenos Aires and working around the world. I really like the style of his works, they are usually enormous hand painted pieces, with masses of detail, the majority of which make up faces or people. Like this example on the left, which shows a man, made up of hundreds of smaller men...

I love the temporary nature of street art, and the fact that if you see it, you'll probably be one of a very small amount of people that have. Most street art is removed shortly after it's discovery as it is seen as graffiti, however I think these should be seen as very different things.
