It totally slipped my mind that I still have some posts on London, Istanbul and Paris.I hope you don't mind if every now and then I write about those places, some are cafés, some are museums, some are random finds. In that spirit, I thought I would show you just a few snippets of London's street art. The last two remind me of Leonora Carrington's surreal creatures. Are you fascinated by street art? Do you get excited when you see a pretty graffitti?
Nice! I do appreciate interesting street art!
ReplyDeleteIt can be so beautiful. The fact that it is ephemerous adds to its charm.
DeleteSo wonderful, and one of the things I miss about living in a real city. It's nice to turn a corner and suddenly be presented with art on the wall instead of someone just scrawling their name in spray paint.
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me - did you hear of the building that removed and auctioned its Banksy graffiti (I think this was also in London). Graffiti art definitely creates an interesting conversation piece.
I did not hear of that particular building, but I am a big fan of Banksy and I knew that some of his pieces have been sold or exposed in galleries. I still want to get my hands on his biography (though it's unathourized).
DeleteI love street art. Whenever we travel, D and I try to take photos of interesting murals/graffiti that we find all over city streets. We kind of had this project going where he would take a photo of me in front of street art in every city we visit, but it sort of fizzled (we do have some photos like that though). Maybe it's because I don't like have photos of me taken, haha.
ReplyDeleteThat is a super nice project ! You should put all those photos together, maybe in a wall, or in an album?
DeleteIt is also interesting to see how street art is different between cities. It really tells you something of each place.
Qué raros, se me hacen como pulgas-chimpancés gigantes los de las últimas 2 fotos.
ReplyDeleteY yo contenta de ver más posts de viajes! Es interesante ver los diferentes rincones que cada persona descubre de la misma ciudad. Siempre hay algo nuevo qué ver. Conoceré Estambul un poquito a través de tus posts :)
Sí, esas creaturas están super extraña.
DeleteY tienes razón, es curioso ver como a cada quien le llaman la atención diferentes cosas, o visita diferentes lugares cuando viaja. Nosotros cuando podemos, vamos al cine...
Me encantan los "graffitis" y este último ¡¡me fascina!! Londres... bueno qué te digo verdad. Por cierto que no había leído esta y otra entrada. Se nota que el doctorado ahora sí está en punto extremo.
ReplyDelete¡Y como decían me encantan los posts de viajes y a ti te quedan muy bien!
Sí, me latía que ese último graffiti te iba a gustar. Ondas locas estilo Varo y Carrington. Y Londrés es definitivamente una ciudad genial, estoy leyendo el libro "Londoners" donde muchas personas que lo aman, lo detestan, han estado de paso, o muchos años explican su experiencia y es muy entretenido.
DeleteQue bueno que el doctorado va bien :) Y me alegro que te gusten los posts de viajes!
Exacto, eso me recordó... también un poco a Tim Burton, del libro ya dije en el otro comentario!
