The Definition of Urban Art
The term “Urban Art” is vague at best. However, urban art is mostly considered to be art from “the streets”. Call it naiveté, graffiti or primitive, but either way you look at it, the one thing that “urban art” seems to have in common is that it is not the traditional, “representational” art form that has been taught in art schools for centuries.
Although plenty of urban artists have formal art training and plenty of formal degrees, one could argue that these artists had found their personal artistic interests (and respective styles) long before pursuing a formal educational in their artistic medium.
Either way you look at it, anyone would agree that nowadays, the art considered to be “Urban” has the same artistic expectations and obstacles to compete with as “Realism” and Andy Warhol did when entering an art scene enveloped in Jackson Polack and the abstract movement.
Urban Art Monster was created in the beginning of 2010. It was started with the hopes of exposing and marketing upcoming artists from the “Urban Art” scene. Keep visiting Urban Art Monster for all the latest in urban and modern art.
