Art Review


Street Art in Taipei by Edgar Mueller


What defines art? Does art really have to be a piece of painting on a canvas board? Art is what people use to express their emotions or express their interpretation of things. What this man is doing here is expressing not only his creativity, but also his love for art. Not only does he want to paint, he wants to incorporate his art in everyday life. This 3D painting may be criticized by others as graffiti and is doing nothing but dirtying the streets. But is this man really hurting anyone? Instead of using a paper or art board, he decided to use the streets as his art canvas. Is that a bad thing? Just because it is not “professionally” done, does not mean it is not another form of art.

Art is art. No matter if it is graffiti or a canvas painting. This man has skills. Compared to me who can not even draw a decent stick figure, he is like a god. I like how he incorporated it into life and just put it up in a museum. This way people can enjoy it more and appreciate it.
