# Perfectly Placed Street Art JPS' City Street Art Pays Close Attention to Useful Elements By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-12-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-street-art References: [thisiscolossal](http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/08/site-specific-street-art-by-jps/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pages/JPS/241235295931632) These examples of [creative city street art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craig-karl2) from UK-based artist JPS show clever thinking that's all about location, location, location. Like thousands of other street art pieces out there, JPS' work can be found on the [sides of walls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piranha-tank), but the placement of the stencils is really what sets this [witty street art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hubbabubbabuilding) apart. For example, a crack in the wall is used by JPS to create the illusion of a water leak, paired with an art piece of white water rafters that are about to make a narrow escape. Another fun one is a stencil of a ship, placed perfectly so that the vessel appears to be sitting atop a real body of water. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Clever Street Art Placement:** Artists are finding innovative ways to incorporate physical elements of their surroundings into their work, creating unique and immersive experiences. - **Interactive Street Art:** Art pieces that encourage audience participation and use augmented reality technology are on the rise, disrupting traditional notions of street art. - **Sustainable Street Art:** Street artists are exploring more eco-friendly and sustainable materials and practices in their work, promoting environmental awareness and activism. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** As the street art movement continues to gain mainstream recognition, opportunities for artists to collaborate with brands and companies on large-scale public art installations are increasing. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** Cities and neighborhoods with vibrant street art scenes are becoming increasingly popular tourist destinations, offering unique and visually stunning experiences for visitors. - **Advertising:** Brands and companies are recognizing the power of street art as a form of advertising, partnering with artists to create immersive and eye-catching campaigns that engage consumers on a deeper level. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Distorted Furniture Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-kiss-at-last-light.md) - [Tree-Integrated Mysterious Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tree-mural.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Food-Inspired Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics.md) - [Spiky Inflatable Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-sculptures1.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [Laser-Cut Urban Artistry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-cut-city-maps.md) - [Sculptural Public Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-public-seating.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md)
