Graffiti Is An Art Form

Most people tend to think of graffiti as subversive art
spray painted in the dead of night on urban walls.
Some artists, however, including Edgar Mueller, Julian
Beever and Kurt Wenner, defy that stereotype, painting
and chalking openly on city streets and sidewalks.
Beyond merely entertaining crowds, their work has at
times even broken world records. These street art
images and biographies merely scratch the surface
and begin to convey their amazing artistic talents.
Chalk Drawings
JULIAN BEEVER”S
world-renowned
sidewalk chalk drawings
have been a viral hit all
over the internet, and it’s
easy to see why:
he’s a master of the
anamorphic technique,
which he’s been
perfecting since the
mid 1990s.
The Pavement Picasso
Julian’s work has
appeared all across
Europe. The English
artist has been given
the nickname “The
Pavement Picasso”,
and he continues to
work all over
the world.
Made to Walk On
Each of Julian’s
creations typically
take a full day to
complete, and by
the next day
they’re just a
memory, washed
away by rain or
walked upon by
pedestrians.

Renaissance
Classicism
Kurt Wenner’s
ability to transform
renaissance classicism
into 3D street art is
unparalleled and
has made him the top
anamorphic street
painting artist of
our time.
Kurt aims to “reinvent
classicism for a new
age”, bringing his
talent for realism to
the streets, literally.
Kurt has had his
work featured in a
lengthy list of articles,
television features,
ads, and
documentaries.
2D
Graffiti
Of course, most of us will never be a Kurt Wenner or Julian
Beever who have demonstrated that graffiti is an art form. We
are the 2D graffiti artists who use lettering styles to create
graffiti. But if you love the look of graffiti, there’s no reason
you can’t use graffiti-type fonts in your personal projects. As
graffiti has become more well-known and a bit more
mainstream, several websites have begun offering
downloadable graffiti fonts.
