How street art travels the world without moving.
<p>Or should the real question be: What is not art? People have debated this topic for centuries. Only to never fully agree on a single all-embracing definition.</p>
<p>Understandable, as it’s partly submitted to taste and we all know one can’t argue taste. And maybe an even bigger reason is the constant evolution during our time here on earth. What was the newest revelation yesterday is nothing more than the obvious tomorrow. And vice versa, what was unremarkable in the past might become the greatest creation of all time overnight.</p>
<p>These days anything can be perceived as art. And I don’t mean that in a bad way. It reminds me of a beautiful quote from the great Henry David Thoreau:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>‘This world is but a canvas to our imagination.’</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>What street art taught me just now.</strong></p>
<p>I love how this approach creates endless possibilities, but at the same time it made me feel overwhelmed while reflecting on what exactly to write about street art. Because what did I have to say about it? Me, who knows little to nothing about it. Or about art in general for that matter. (Talking about a real monthly writing challenge here Anne Bonfert.)</p>
<p>Here I was, searching for the right angle for my article, when one very specific mural painting not far from my actual home popped into my mind. My heart skipped a beat, just like it does every time I think about it or pass by the area where it’s located.</p>
