People say graffiti is ugly, irresponsible and childish ... but that's only if it's done properly. ~ Banksy
Street Art quotes by Banksy
I hate the idea of street art. With music, I just needed my brain and my voice, which didn't cost anything. ~ M.I.A.
Street Art quotes by M.I.A.
The Internet doesn't always play a great role for art, especially art in the street, as people take what they see for the final image of it. But the most interesting thing about street art is to see it for real, to understand what it means and where it's displayed. ~ JR
Street Art quotes by JR
the fact is, our relationships to these corporations are not unambiguous. some memebers of negativland genuinely liked pepsi products. mca grew up loving star wars and didn't mind having his work sent all over the united states to all the "cool, underground magazines" they were marketing to--why would he? sam gould had a spiritual moment in the shower listening to a cd created, according to sophie wong, so that he would talk about tylenol with his independent artist friends--and he did. many of my friends' daughters will be getting american girl dolls and books as gifts well into the foreseeable future. some skateboarders in washington, dc, were asked to create an ad campaign for the east coast summer tour, and they all love minor threat--why not use its famous album cover? how about shilling for converse? i would have been happy to ten years ago. so what's really changed?
the answer is that two important things have changed: who is ultimately accountable for veiled corporate campaigns that occasionally strive to obsfucate their sponsorship and who is requesting our participation in such campaigns. behind converse and nike sb is nike, a company that uses shit-poor labor policies and predatory marketing that effectively glosses over their shit-poor labor policies, even to an audience that used to know better. behind team ouch! was an underground-savvy brainreservist on the payroll of big pharma; behind the recent wave of street art in hip urban areas near you was omd worl ~ Anne Elizabeth Moore
Street Art quotes by Anne Elizabeth Moore
There are four basic human needs; food, sleep, sex and revenge. ~ Banksy
Street Art quotes by Banksy
The Internet wasn't even an option for me, so one of the reasons I was so motivated to do street art was because there was no other outlet. Maybe if the Internet had been around then, I would have tried to do stuff that went viral and was clever and got me a lot of hits. ~ Shepard Fairey
Street Art quotes by Shepard Fairey
I'm interested in confronting police brutality and police abuse of cracking down on street performers and street artists, but also in valorizing street art as legitimate performance within the artistic sphere, where it's so often conflated with pan-handling and begging and not "successful" art. I want to change laws around street performance. ~ Kalan Sherrard
Street Art quotes by Kalan Sherrard
I'd been just like her, a youngster with something to say, a rebel through street art, leaving my mark on public buildings, to taunt the government and humor the public ~ Kenya Wright
Street Art quotes by Kenya Wright
In Afghanistan I was doing street art because it was more open, but when I had a show, only men would come. I said, I'm an artist not only for men, but for women too. So that's why I like graffiti. ~ Malina Suliman
Street Art quotes by Malina Suliman
As soon as street art got popular, I was just like, 'I'm out of here.' ~ Barry McGee
Street Art quotes by Barry McGee
Nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful people with talent, leave the house before you find something worth staying in for. ~ Banksy
Street Art quotes by Banksy
When it comes to the street-art world, there are a lot of people who realize if they go out and put up a few pieces of street art and photograph them really well, even if their locations weren't actually that high-profile or dangerous, with the level of exposure they get from the Internet, with a large audience, they can maintain that rebel cache by having it be theoretically documented street art. ~ Shepard Fairey
Street Art quotes by Shepard Fairey
Art is an evolutionary act. The shape of art and its role in society is constantly changing. At no point is art static. There are no rules. ~ Raymond Salvatore Harmon
Street Art quotes by Raymond Salvatore Harmon
I don't have this obsessive need to do street art all the time because it's already opened doors for me. ~ Shepard Fairey
Street Art quotes by Shepard Fairey
Melbourne, where I grew up, is one of the street art capitals of the world. Something about discovering freshly painted walls always fills me with optimism; it's autonomous and democratic, and reminds me that maybe people are paying attention after all. ~ Penelope Mitchell
Street Art quotes by Penelope Mitchell
The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists.. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little. ~ Banksy
Street Art quotes by Banksy
I think when something becomes a comfortable genre, it's against what street art stood for in the beginning - breaking out of genres and taking art out of galleries. Now street art is in the gallery, and it's all made up into a nice, packaged concept. ~ M.I.A.
Street Art quotes by M.I.A.
I always had the most fun going to the beach on the weekends with my friends. In a way, we treated our beach style the way New Yorkers treat their street style, so I was always conscious of how I looked. ~ Izabel Goulart
Street Art quotes by Izabel Goulart
The techniques should not be practised simply so they can be performed in the kata. Since karate is a fighting art each technique and movement has its own meaning. The karateka must consider their meaning, how and why they are effective, and practise accordingly ~ Shigeru Egami
Street Art quotes by Shigeru Egami
I received my training at an art academy, so what I produce is art. That's what is artistic about my photographs. ~ Thomas Ruff
Street Art quotes by Thomas Ruff
We speed through the streets past modern buildings and ancient architecture. Gazing through the taxi window Rome becomes a wet painting someone has wiped a hand across. ~ Kevin James Moore
Street Art quotes by Kevin James Moore
I may have stumbled
and stammered at
your unexpected push,
but the breeze
anchored me
and I learnt the
art of survival ~ Vijaya Gowrisankar
Street Art quotes by Vijaya Gowrisankar
In Taiwan, I'd be like Michael Jordan walking down the street. ~ Ang Lee
Street Art quotes by Ang Lee
I know it's only been three weeks, and although it's far too soon to judge, I can't help but feel that moving to Dubai may have been yet another poor judgement call on my part. Yes, another one. In recent times I've somehow managed to perfect the art of making huge, life changing mistakes. It's as if once you make a significant error, you can't help but make a zillion others, like dominoes falling over in succession. And when you're in the middle of all those thumbling blocks, it's impossible to get out. ~ Ameera Al Hakawati
Street Art quotes by Ameera Al Hakawati
To make art is to realize another's sadness within, realize the hidden sadness in other people's lives, to feel sad with and for a stranger. ~ Marianne Wiggins
Street Art quotes by Marianne Wiggins
No one is able to produce a great work of art without experience, nor achieve a worldly position immediately, nor be a great lover at the first attempt; and in the interval between initial failure and subsequent success, in the gap between who we wish one day to be and who we are at present, must come pain, anxiety, envy and humiliation. We suffer because we cannot spontaneously master the ingredients of fulfilment. ~ Alain De Botton
Street Art quotes by Alain De Botton
Art and literature have given so many people the relief of feeling connected - pulled us out of isolation. It has let us know that somebody else breathed and dreamed and had sex and loved and raged and knew loneliness the way we do. ~ Adrienne Rich
Street Art quotes by Adrienne Rich
I don't buy these rag magazines that feed off of stolen, you know, press. They're basically stealing someone's image in order to make money for themselves ... They wait at the end of my street in their cars. Every time I exit my home, I have company. ~ Ashton Kutcher
Street Art quotes by Ashton Kutcher
The Open Source theorem says that if you give away source code, innovation will occur. Certainly, Unix was done this way ... However, the corollary states that the innovation will occur elsewhere. No matter how many people you hire. So the only way to get close to the state of the art is to give the people who are going to be doing the innovative things the means to do it. That's why we had built-in source code with Unix. Open source is tapping the energy that's out there. ~ Bill Joy
Street Art quotes by Bill Joy
Art arises when the secret vision of the artist and the manifestation of nature agree to find new shapes. ~ Kahlil Gibran
Street Art quotes by Kahlil Gibran
The truth is that sometimes art may not exactly reflect one's personal politics, but the story, the drama, the thing you're trying to say, might want to go in a certain direction, and while it may seem like it has resonance with things that are happening topically, you kind of want the world you're creating to have its own internal logic. ~ Tim Minear
Street Art quotes by Tim Minear
Sex was a practiced art to him. Each move calculated. His brain always worked while he performed, his body seducing his prey with ease, noting each response of his target. But in one moment, everything had changed. She swept him into a tidal wave of pure sensation, and he willingly let go and let her take him with her. ~ Christine Feehan
Street Art quotes by Christine Feehan
Considering thus how much honor is awarded to antiquity, and how many times - letting pass infinite other examples - a fragment of an ancient statue has been bought at high price because someone wants to have it near oneself, to honor his house with it, and to be able to have it imitated by those who delight in that art, and how the latter then strive with all industry to represent it in all their works; and seeing, on the other hand, that the most virtuous works the histories show us, which have been done by ancient kingdoms and republics, by kings, captains, citizens, legislators, and others who have labored for their fatherland, are rather admired than imitated - indeed they are so much shunned by everyone in every least thing that no sign of that ancient virtue remains with us - I can do no other than marvel and grieve… From this it arises that the infinite number who read [the histories] take pleasure in hearing of the variety of accidents contained within them without thinking of imitating them, judging that imitation is not only difficult but impossible - as if heaven, sun, elements, men had varied in motion, order, and power from what they were in antiquity. Wishing, therefore, to turn men from this error, I have judged it necessary to write on all those books of Titus Livy... ~ Niccolo Machiavelli
Street Art quotes by Niccolo Machiavelli
She hesitated: "Do you love your wife?"
Mersault smiled: "That's not essential."
"You make the mistake of thinking you have to choose, that you have to do what you want, that there are conditions for happiness. What matters - all that matters, really - is the will to happiness, a kind of enormous, ever present consciousness. The rest - women, art, success - is nothing but excuses. A canvas waiting for our embroideries."
"What matters to me is a certain quality of happiness. I can only find it in a certain struggle with its opposite - a stubborn and violent struggle ... ~ Albert Camus
Street Art quotes by Albert Camus
I see filmmaking as a business and pity anyone who regards it as an art form. ~ Herschell Gordon Lewis
Street Art quotes by Herschell Gordon Lewis
The element of discovery is very important. I don't repeat myself well. I want and need that stimulus of walking forward from one new world to another. ~ Margaret Bourke-White
Street Art quotes by Margaret Bourke-White
The sight of anything extremely beautiful, in nature or in art, brings back the memory of what one loves, with the speed of lightning. ~ Stendhal
Street Art quotes by Stendhal
The arts must study their occasions; they must stand modestly aside until they can slip in fitly into the interstices of life. ~ George Santayana
Street Art quotes by George Santayana
I discovered martial arts, first judo and then karate, and I became quite good at it, because I had something to prove. And more than anything, I needed to feel safe. ~ Dolph Lundgren
Street Art quotes by Dolph Lundgren
In adopting the form of the adventure novel, Wells deepened it, raised its intellectual value, and brought into it elements of social philosophy and science. In his own field - though, of course, on a proportionately lesser scale - Wells may be likened to Dostoyevsky, who took the form of the cheap detective novel and infused it with brilliant psychological analysis. ~ Yevgeny Zamyatin
Street Art quotes by Yevgeny Zamyatin
And in the end, children; Art prevailed over the cruel, dumb-fuckers. ~ Fred Babb
Street Art quotes by Fred Babb
One cannot legislate the maniacs off the street ... these maniacs can only be shut down by an armed citizenry. Indeed bad things can happen in nations where the citizenry is armed, but not as bad as those which seem to be threatening our disarmed citizenry in this country at this time. ~ Jeff Cooper
Street Art quotes by Jeff Cooper
Photography is a bridge between science and art. It brings to science what it needs most, the artistic sense, and to art the proof that nothing can be imagined which cannot be matched in the counterpoints of nature. ~ Ernst Haas
Street Art quotes by Ernst Haas
I've had a lazy career. Sometimes one film a year, sometimes none. I'm walking around in the street and doing this other thing, living, that I'm much more interested in. I just do some acting on the side. ~ James Spader
Street Art quotes by James Spader
I love coffee because for a few minutes every day I put all of my focus and energy into the creation of something great. I enjoy it for a few minutes, but then it's gone. Until tomorrow when I start the whole process all over again. On any given day, that morning cup might be your last, so you'd better give it your all. Making a great cup of coffee is a perfect work of Zen art. The topic of this book may be making coffee, but the sub-text message I want to put out into the universe is one of always taking the time to appreciate the small things and never take anyone for granted, whether it's your spouse, your friends, your parents, the barista that makes your espresso, or the farmer that grows the coffee beans. Treat every conversation and every relationship as if it, just like that perfect cup of coffee, were a precious work of temporary Zen art. Because it is. ~ Steven D. Ward
Street Art quotes by Steven D. Ward
Given the clientele, the restaurants on Capri might resemble those fancy Northern Italian places on the East Side of Manhattan where the captain has taken bilingual sneering lessons from the maitre d' at the French joint down the street and the waiter, whose father was born in Palermo, would deny under torture that tomato sauce has ever touched his lips. ~ Calvin Trillin
Street Art quotes by Calvin Trillin
I have seen far by seeing through the lens of Jiu Jitsu. I have exchanged a great deal of physical health for these insights, and these were trades worth making. My efforts were worth the return. I have sacrificed much in the name of this craft. Not for trophies or belts or prestige. For these fall away like dust. I pursued this art so fervently because it was not actually Jiu Jitsu I pursued. It was myself. ~ Chris Matakas
