T.A.G. – Street Art
This is the Seattle gum wall. Is this art?
Good day rebels, artists and general fence sitters, Welcome to WIA arts this week!
Well well, if street art in Whistler isn’t getting noticed then I don’t know what is. It seems there is a multitude of new graphic work around parts of town and the village area. No one knowing who or where they are from as the work generally does not have a associated name. Which is understandable but yet frustrating if you want to commend them on an awesome job. I guess that’s ok because one probably wants to keep a bit of anonymity when it comes to public art of sorts.
The big news if you’re not familiar with the other new player in town is the new Uni-Yarn-Bomber! They have hit many cool-static features around town with their fun, bright coloured yarn bombs. Adding a new sense to the regular “I was here tag,” or the other street art that is circling town. Yarn bombing is gaining credibility all over the world. Groups are doing multi-person live pieces, workshops are popping up all over the web and people are seeing it as a refreshing new style of expressionist street art.
