corporate v real stuff. Sheffield

in StreetArt2 years ago

So I was strolling around the outskirts of the city, I had a number of windows to climb through, alas I failed. the buildings were either in the process of being dropped. Or were tighter than a ducks arse.

Never mind there is always street art. let's start with the council sponsored corporate nonsense.

The last one is called "Broken World", No I can't see the connection either.

Wonder how much this lot has cost the tax payer? Money that could be better spent, schools, health services, road maintenance et al.

Yes, its sublime and clever, phones down face to face chats. A clever image too as Sheffield houses a large population of "asylum seekers"

Now let's get Sexy

The simplicity of Black and white, it doesn't have to be over elaborate to be gorgeous

Throw in a few political statements for good measure

There is so much gentrification happening right now in the city that a lot of good art is disappearing fast. I shall sort out my walk through an industrial wasteland and upload methinks.

Always the way, paint over quality art and put up some posters for Viagra or discount shopping, hurray progress?

awesome artworks. it´s quite interesting that the council sponsored art is not as good as the non-authoriced art.
but don´t be so harsh on the sponsored artists. at first: the council spends so much money on much worse things. but i understand you absolutely. maybe it´s better to but begrudge the artists a few cents. it´s not so easy earning a living from art. the artists get the theme and than they have to create a plan for the artwork. if they do what they want really often there is no way to get a wall. so they are doing what the council-guys want to see. and that´s it. but me ether, i don´t like all this sponsored "artworks" the worst stuff are the paintings for the big global companies. that´s absolutely sell-out.
