# Spit Artist Albert Reyes Spits Art onto the Ground By Hernando Gomez Salinas | Published 2007-01-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spit-artist-albert-reyes-spits-art-onto-the-ground References: [theuncoolhunter](http://www.theuncoolhunter.com) & [pimplywimp](http://www.pimplywimp.com) Albert Reyes is a [grafitti artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigmatic-graffiti) from Los Angeles and he produces spit art. After a previous concentration, the figures measure 3 meters long. Albert gambols around the pavement with his face inches from the ground, dribbling a line of water between gulps from a bottle till he creates what's in his mind. It suddenly turns into a kind of [ephemeral art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transposition-installtion) that will be evaporated when the floor dries, “Five, ten, fifteen minutes” depending on the temperature of the pavement. Different from the grafitti, there is no record of his mark on the floor. So, he records his performances and then he exhibits them on his website. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Spit Art:** Creating art using spit as a medium, offering a unique and temporary form of expression. - **Ephemeral Art:** Exploring the transitory nature of art through artwork that disappears once the floor dries. - **Digital Documentation:** Recording spit art performances and showcasing them online for a wider audience to experience. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Street Art:** Opportunity for street artists to explore new mediums and push the boundaries of traditional graffiti. - **Performance Art:** Incorporating unique and engaging elements like spit art to captivate audiences and create immersive experiences. - **Digital Art:** Using digital platforms to share and showcase temporary and transitory art forms, expanding the audience and reach. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Graffiti NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graffiti-wall-collection.md) - [Sneaker Fused Ceramic Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drip-exhibition.md) - [Evolved Vibrant Graffiti Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jan-kalb.md) - [Leftover Househouse Paint Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-drop.md) - [Fluid Basketball-Net Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swimming-pools-and-bubblegum.md) - [Provoking Graffiti Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-ruggeri.md) - [Collaborative Monochromatic Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collaborative-monochromatic-art-exhibition.md) - [Graffiti Culture Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1970s-graffiti-today.md) - [Graffiti-Inspired Marker Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graffitiinspired-marker-set.md)
