So, a Viking walks into a bar with a can of spray paint…….
I was a little surprised with both the volume and quality of graffiti we’ve seen in Scandinavia. Reykjavik has a huge amount of young people, so I get that, but Norway is a very squeaky clean country, with strict rules on driving and public behavior, and people like it like that. We have discussed the very large quantity of graffiti, wall paintings and assorted art stickers plastered about with a couple bartenders and have been informed that it is not really thought of as graffiti, but more “Street Art”. Which is kind of cool, it raises the bar a little and opens it up to a variety of media, i.e. paint, neon, stickers, posters, etc. Let’s walk around a little.
These are amazing! Are some of these commissioned? Are there galleries with similar art?
Thanks again for the great photos.
FANTASTIC, FANTASTIC, FANTASTIC! Not only the street art, but the wonderful photos of the street art. Love it, Bruce. You’ve found an artistic endeavor that once again is stunning and successful, and suits you well. Thanks for sharing your insights and expertise. 🙂 Marie
Did you know about these before the trip or was it a happy surprise to find so much beautiful street art?
Just a surprise.
Dear Wendy and Bruce!
We follow you on your trip and are fond of the pictures and the text. It is nearly to travel there with you!
Thanks for the artistic work, we love it.
We will drive to Britanny on Sunday for three weeks.
