Poetry in Motion, Animated Street Art Gallery | Third Monk image 1

Spanish photographer A.L. Crego adds life to his favorite pieces of street art murals by turning them into trippy animated street art GIFs. The street art can stand on it’s own but the messages are given an extra boost with motion.

Vinchen: Social Commentary From Ohio’s Best Street Artist (Art Gallery)

Vinchen: Social Commentary From Ohio's Best Street Artist (Art Gallery) | Third Monk image 21

warmthOwners - Vinchen

Vinchen’s street art offers simple insights into supposed complex social issues. It causes us to question the notion of their complexity altogether, leaving you to wonder why we are plagued by social inequities at all.

Asking questions incidently leads to answers, and Vinchen’s street art places the onus back on those looking back.

Making Smiles Through Street Art in Urban Environments by Oakoak

Making Smiles Through Street Art in Urban Environments by Oakoak | Third Monk image 5

Oakoak uses his humourous street art to make his hometown, St. Etienne, France, less “grey”. Humor is the most important element in Oakoak’s creative process, and he sprinkles it liberally whenever he has the chance.

My main interest is giving importance to places and objects that people don’t notice anymore. I walk a lot every day and that’s how I get to find new attractive places with urban elements such as broken walls.

When I see something interesting during my walks, I measure it and study it, and I come back later to make the collage. – Oakoak, Bulkka

Taking The Piss With Banksy by Zenpencils (Comic Strip)

This comic brings life to the voice of street art and pays tribute to the inspirational work of Banksy.

Taking The Piss with Banksy

Taking The Piss

Banksy is an anoynomous English street artist and activist who has become a cult hero for his anti-establishment and rebellious artwork.

Unlike someone I know, who stays in his house all day drawing comics and watching Simpsons reruns, Banksy is a REAL artist who challenges the status quo, forces people to think and puts himself in danger, all while remaining a complete mystery to the world.

I mean think about it, he’s one of the most famous artists on the planet, his work has been popping up in major cities for the past 10 years and sell for millions of dollars and no one knows who the hell this guy is! I take my hat off to the dude. – Gavin Aung Than, Zen Pencils

Creative Street Art Murals in Malaysia by Ernest Zacharevic

Creative Street Art Murals in Malaysia by Ernest Zacharevic | Third Monk image 4

Ernest Zacharevic completed several murals depicting Malaysian locals and their way of life, but also painted a few of his signature pieces that humorously depict children or animals interacting with elements of buildings or other nearby objects.

Zacharevic is from Lithuania but is a permanent resident of Malaysia, and is well-known in the region for his street art.

Google has created a new initiative: The Street Art Project, an ambitious endeavor to document street art around the world.

The project has launched with over 5,000 images and 100 exhibitions covering an international array of artists and street art hot spots.

For an example of an exhibition, see Google’s documentation of New York City’s famed 5 Pointz project.

Some art is also explorable via street view — for an example see the Tour Paris 13 building.

Banksy – Street Art Residency in New York City (Video)

Banksy - Street Art Residency in New York City (Video) | Third Monk image 6

Banksy made a video about his Residency in New York City to accept his Webby for Person of the Year.

Not many people would make a logical connection between street art and the Internet, but Banksy not only showed the world what that looks like, but he made people care about it, too.

For providing a glimpse into the potential future of art on the Web, Banksy truly deserves to be named Webby Person of the Year. – The Webby Awards

Psychedelic Hand Made Mixed Media Collages – Joe Webb (Photo Gallery)

Psychedelic Hand Made Mixed Media Collages - Joe Webb (Photo Gallery) | Third Monk image 25

Joe Webb’s work eschews the neo-traditional standard of digital manipulation, opting to meticulously craft his psychedelic work by hand.

Sourcing two to three images at a time, Webb’s finished collages probe the unreality of modern-life, with an emphasis on his disdain for technology.

I started making these simple hand-made collages as a sort of luddite reaction to working as a graphic artist on computers for many years. I like the limitations of collage…using found imagery and a pair of scissors, there are no Photoshop options to resize, adjust colours or undo.

I suppose I’ve become fairly anti-technology… although I now promote my art on websites, own an iPhone and use Facebook…It’s confusing, I wish I had been born 100 years ago. – Joe Webb

Dran – The French Banksy, Art Gallery

Dran - The French Banksy, Art Gallery | Third Monk image 37

French street artist Dran uses his artistic talent to criticize society, and it’s conditioned conventions. Typically ironic in approach, his similarities to English graffiti artist Banksy have earned him the nickname, “the French Banksy”. 

Dran’s social criticisms are varied in scope, and although many of his works are naturally playful, they manage to retain their intended message.

Finally, I would be remiss if I did not mention Dran’s site, it has a lot of cool interactions built in (don’t click on the spider!).

Banksy Quotes on Society, Street Art Gallery

Banksy Quotes on Society, Street Art Gallery | Third Monk image 16

Since introducing the world to his first pieces of graffiti, Banksy has laced his art with social commentary. Most people will look at his art without absorbing the message but the few that do will be better equipped with ideas on how to make society a better place.
