Street Art Quotes

A walk down 14th street is more amazing than any masterpiece of art Picture Quote #1

I always like to see if the art across the street is better than mine Picture Quote #1

Warren Street was at the high end of the New Romantic scene. They were mostly college art students and people who knew top designers Picture Quote #1

Florence is perhaps best known for being the seat of Renaissance art, and rightly so: A greatest-hits collection of artists passed through its streets - Michelangelo, Leonardo, Botticelli, and Brunelleschi among them Picture Quote #1

When people say that L.A. doesn’t have a culture, I think it really does: a very old culture, and very specific. There’s streets named after entertainers, and statues of entertainers, and it’s great. Entertainment is still art, even if it makes billions of dollars. So it’s like a city built on entertainment, and art in a way Picture Quote #1

People who get up early in the morning cause war, death and famine Picture Quote #1

I think when something becomes a comfortable genre, it’s against what street art stood for in the beginning - breaking out of genres and taking art out of galleries. Now street art is in the gallery, and it’s all made up into a nice, packaged concept Picture Quote #1

The Internet wasn’t even an option for me, so one of the reasons I was so motivated to do street art was because there was no other outlet. Maybe if the Internet had been around then, I would have tried to do stuff that went viral and was clever and got me a lot of hits Picture Quote #1

A lot of people thought I got famous as a studio artist, then decided to cash in on it. But it actually was just a matter of survival for many years, and I felt it was really important for me to be able to say whatever I wanted with my street art and fine art Picture Quote #1

In Afghanistan I was doing street art because it was more open, but when I had a show, only men would come. I said, I’m an artist not only for men, but for women too. So that’s why I like graffiti Picture Quote #1

To understand Occupy Wall Street, you have to understand artists. Art is freedom - freedom of expression - and its message has resonated through society for centuries Picture Quote #1

Anyone who relishes art should love the extraordinary diversity and psychic magic of our art galleries. There’s likely more combined square footage for the showing of art on one New York block - West 24th Street between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues - than in all of Amsterdam’s or Hamburg’s galleries Picture Quote #1

I believe in the city as a natural human environment, but we must humanize it. It’s art that will re-define public space in the 21st Century. We can make our cities diverse, inspirational places by putting art, dance and performance in all its forms into the matrix of street life Picture Quote #1

Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else Picture Quote #1

Inspiration comes from everywhere: books, art, people on the street. It is an interior process for me Picture Quote #1

The real art is in the street, is making the artwork, and for that you have to involve people. The action is actually the artwork Picture Quote #1

Infiltrating the mainstream was a natural extension of my street art. I’ve always tried to communicate ideas to the public as directly as possible Picture Quote #1

I’ve never really considered myself just a street artist. I consider myself a populist Picture Quote #1

If you want to say something and have people listen then you have to wear a mask. If you want to be honest then you have to live a lie Picture Quote #1

Some people become cops because they want to make the world a better place. Some people become vandals because they want to make the world a better looking place Picture Quote #1

A wall is a very big weapon. It’s one of the nastiest things you can hit someone with Picture Quote #1

Nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful people with talent, leave the house before you find something worth staying in for Picture Quote #1

I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me Picture Quote #1

I hate the idea of street art. With music, I just needed my brain and my voice, which didn’t cost anything Picture Quote #1

As a street artist, I’m used to sharing my stuff with the public. It’s a communal experience. I’ve learned not to be so precious, but rather to enjoy the process Picture Quote #1

I know street art can feel increasingly like the marketing wing of an art career, so I wanted to make some art without the price tag attached. There’s no gallery show or book or film. It’s pointless. Which hopefully means something Picture Quote #1

That's the test of street art - to see if anybody stopped. People would cross out ones they didn't like and would star others. I liked that people would engage with them Picture Quote #1
