Chilean Street Art
Posted on | May 7, 2010 | No Comments
With a tight community of artists, a generally welcoming public, little government prohibition or removal, and a rich history of muralism, Chilean street artists have created a unique and inspiring style that has gained the attention and respect of artists and appreciators the world over.

Favorite quotes from the video:
“You realize that the lack of materials gives your work a richness that you wouldn’t have if you painted with the best paints in the world.”
“We have a very powerful ancestor which is political muralism.”
“As long as you put some color in it, people will like it…and no one will say anything to you.”
“More than anything, this is a gift for the people.”
