Watch out for the alien spray can intrusion! In this new age of street art, artists have to express themselves far more creatively than merely covering walls with spray paint.
I love this urban sculptural guerrilla artwork by UK artist D*face. These days, the authorities are waiting down back alleys like hawks to keep the public spaces clean. This is a big shame, I think, as urban art is often deliciously refreshing and thought-provoking--just like these ironic spray can sculptures by D*face.
The video features a great D*face installation show that was on at the Black Rat Press earlier this year in London entitled 'aPOPcalypse Now,' which showed that D*face is a novel-thinking street artist with a lot more up his sleeve than painting walls. The show was a big commentary on advertising and subliminal brand brainwash.
