How To Impress High Society Liberals: The “Good Art” Post
There’s nothing rich people like more than finding unusual street art in different countries.
Harry Greb
Harry Greb is a Roman street artist recently known for painting anti-Putin graffiti in Europe. Although he started off exclusively using graphic design techniques, he has multiple mixed media paintings in addition to his murals. His social commentary piece of Donald Trump as Godzilla can be purchased online for under $3000.
Stinkfish
Stinkfish is an urban artist from Colombia that paints both murals and canvas. By photographing random people on the street, he is able to stencil their faces onto brightly colored backgrounds. The look is part acid trip/part graffiti. Typical pieces range from $1000 - $50,000.
Luis Sven Martins
Also known as L7M, Luis Sven Martins is known for his series of graffiti birds. He primarily uses spray paint, but works with a variety of mediums. Although his murals are located in Brazil, his mixture of realism and fantasy art can be found in select museums around the globe.
The Etam Cru
The Etam Cru is a Polish art duo that creates legal street murals for public spaces. Mateusz Gapski and Przemek Glejzyk have painted walls over eight stories tall for local businesses. In addition to Europe, The Etam Cru has recently started painting in the U.S. A typical mural can take anywhere between four and eight days to finish.
The Twins
The Twins (Os Gemeos) are identical brothers from Sao Paulo. Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo have been around since the ‘80s and continue to influence the Brazilian art scene. Their street art style includes politics, South American folklore, and local tags. Online auctions are available, but rare.
Remember:
The more eccentric the artist, the more social cred you’ll get. But only if they’re popular within a niche audience.
