Mobstr, utilizes stencils to diffuse messages on the streets. His art indicates that he is a little bit of a wise guy, which his audience loves. The artist is currently transitioning from illegal street artist to having commissioned murals. Mobstr challenges the way we view public space. He is to be appreciated for his humor and ability to shift between being the bad boy of street art and a hired artist reaching out to a broad audience.
And they did…
Another street artist, SpY, has been surfing on the same wave. The Spanish street artist works with appropriating urban elements to his work through transformation or replication. In a sense, his art is a commentary on urban reality. He works with a variety of supports and styles and does not limit his craft solely to the mastering of words. SpY is a graffiti writer and author from the 80s. He established himself as a street artist during the 90s by starting his journey with eclectic urban art installations in Madrid and in various cities throughout the world.
Both artists are bringing new shapes to urban landscapes turning the streets they work on into an international dialogue from city to city.
