OakOak’s Street Art Interventions

[changeling67]

Amazing artist OakOak creates hilarious, imaginative, irreverent and sometimes a little macabre street work that has filled column inches from BBC Brazil to Beijing’s biggest daily newspaper. Daubing simple graffiti and paintings on urban features – often the broken ones – OakOak tries to do what street artists do best: amuse and inspire people of all ages and demographics by appropriating the city’s less appealing elements.

I think people who dislike graffiti are more likely to respond well to incidental or micro-graffiti because it is well-executed or well thought-out.  I do however, love the 'Sideshow Bob' piece.

I have a profound interest on graffiti - here is the link to my LJ entries on the subject -----------------> http://calico-pye.livejournal.com/tag/graffiti

I know that hastily scribbled tags are an eyesore, but the artwork of graffiti can be amazing. I find it interesting that as soon as the artwork becomes 'photo-realistic,' people are far more relaxed with it.
