Street art: 45 amazing examples to inspire you - Page 1

I collect the most impressive street art from all over the world.

Street art decorates the streets throughout the world. Urban graffiti may be the first type that comes to mind, but street art actually comes in many different forms, from sculpture to 'yarn bombing', and is also found in a variety of environments.

I have compiled the works of our favorite street artists for this article, from famous faces you know to unknown ones that you want to know more about. Some just want to enlighten their environment, while others have to make political statements. But whatever their motivation, we think what they produce is quite extraordinary.
