While sitting at work, I casually told my friend about Kobra (the street artist, I referred to in my last post), and how fabulous I thought he was, and she immediately asks, 'Wait, where's he from?' Forgetting that she's Brazilian, she informed me that she knows of his art from Brazil. The conversation got us talking about different types of art, including photography and 3D, Chalk art, which is what I want to focus on in this post. This subcultural form of artistic expression includes creating large-scale pieces on sidewalks that appear to be 3 dimentional. This video offers a glimpse into the world of 3D sidewalk art. This is a brief video depicting the process...
This form of art, while absolutely stunning, also struck me because I was thinking about the communal aspect of graffiti and street artists, and wonder how the 3D sidewalk chalk artists interact. Is it an up and coming phenomenon? Will it one day be as common as graffiti? I'm not sure, but for now I'll enjoy the imagery.
Here's a link to a blog called 'Street Art Utopia', with some awesome pieces.
