15 Amazing Street Art That Is At Another Level

the first cave paintings ever discovered date back more than 30 000 years which proves that humans love nothing more than performing a little graffiti on their environment whether that's an ancient cave or the side of a subway car these days it's not such a good idea to start painting in caves seeing as there's so little of our natural world left but painting on man-made objects is definitely cool and many cities now encourage artists to leave their mark on the side of buildings and that is known as street art which is what we are going to take a look at in this video from the mural that is in 3d to the terrifying celebration of the dead here's 15 amazing street art that is at another level [Music] number 15 insane 51 insane 51 who also goes by the name stathis avelius is a 26 year old greek street artist who lives and works in athens he is known for his 3d street art which has been blowing the minds of tourists to the greek capital since he first began back in 2007 his technique is based on drawing two separate pictures one of which is in red and the other in cyan this results in a kind of double exposure which needs to be observed through a pair of 3d glasses when you pop on a pair of these magic glasses you are treated to insane 51's work of art in 3d something which is known as anaglyph 3d art in fact if you close one eye you can see the two individual pictures separately one in red one in cyan and then when you look through both eyes you get a full 3d version of both images pretty crazy one of his most famous pieces allows you to see a wolf through one eye and a girl through the other and then a mashup of the two of them when you look at the art with both eyes many of his pieces have sold out so you might just need to travel over to greece to take a look for yourself before we go on like this video smash the subscribe button and click the notification bell right now or this centipede will crawl on your face when you're sleeping [Music] time for the rare topic visitors to this zoo are usually terrified as they arrive and are confronted with this scene apparently around half of the people who come here turn around and run back to their cars screaming thinking that there's some crazy jurassic park action going down so it might not be the greatest marketing ploy in history but it's a pretty amazing practical joke and the truth is that it is a piece of street art that has gone to another level maybe too many levels the wildest place in town says the writing on the side of the bus but this looks a little too wild do you think

showed on screen and now to the next topic number 14. remundo medina artist reimundo medina is truly in touch with the culture of his native mexico one of the things that's most outstanding about mexican culture is their relationship to death which is much more complex than in a lot of other western cultures where it's just hidden away as much as possible in fact mexicans even celebrate death and one of the biggest days of the year is known as the day of the dead [Music] to celebrate this medina built a huge skeleton which looks like it's pulling itself right out of the ground he even added broken up bits of the road surface to give the impression the skeleton had just burst right through aside from that the sculptures take influence from the common and popular styles of day of the dead trinkets and artworks that most mexicans will be familiar with such as the slightly cartoonish style of the skull indigenous mexicans and those descended from european catholics have mixed together to find a way to celebrate deceased ancestors and loved ones in the coolest way possible and medina has added something truly unique to this whole celebration number 13. david bowie david

things to paint turning them into oreos a compass squash turtles and what seems to be a doorway down to where the notorious new york alligators live down in the murky new york city sewer system which by the way most people assume is a myth but is in fact true and one was even captured in 1935 by some boys who spotted it exiting the sewer while an even crazier story in 1984 happened when people in

painted onto the side of a water tower and his long grey beard twines down the length of the tower many of his works are seen as a comment on the big brother style society we live in with the feeling of being watched no matter what we do and other works seem to show trapped souls never able to escape the scenes they have been painted into some of the faces are monstrous with huge mouths filled with crooked teeth almost like a warning to stay out of these dilapidated buildings which probably isn't a bad idea given that they are probably halfway fallen down in some cases number 7. gregor wasik gregor wasik is a 3d street artist who was born in poland but who left his homeland and moved to germany at the age of 29. before arriving in germany gregor mainly focused on painting canvases

he could paint subway cars there in the time-honored tradition although just one year later the new york city transit authority banned subway cars from running if they had graffiti on them which meant

in fact it's not just the sneakers he's a huge fan of the man too mj was everything when i was young and i was just past that age after you found out santa wasn't real and you're mad that ninja turtles are just dudes and costumes or that batman doesn't actually exist but jordan wasn't fiction he was real and i was getting to see it with my own eyes i guess he was my first hero as a kid that no one could take away or tell me was make believe he said in one interview he is originally from detroit and his biggest success has been his impressive army of followers on instagram who cannot get enough of this street artist right now it seems number 4. adam foo adam fu is known for something called glowing painting his works are designed to trick the eye into believing they are seeing neon lights when in reality it is nothing more than some simple paint skillfully applied using paint spray he is able to create the characteristic glow that comes from neon adding an unusual atmosphere to all of his works that feeling is a kind of nostalgia for a time when neon light signs illuminated big cities in the age before leds took over everything adam's works are always created first on his ipad but then he gets ready to scale them up to a full wall and to create his luminescent glow that he has become famous for i'm a fast painter though you know i grew up painting at night time under you know pressure one part of the technique is using many shades of the same color and it takes time to prepare these color shades before the actual work of sprang them can begin he is a sweet artist through and through explaining to one interviewer my work always begins small i always begin on paper or a napkin or the ipad but it's meant to be outdoors you know my work it came from the street and ideally it should be on the street so i think that having it in public that's its most natural environment number three sean euro canada's bay of fundy is known as the place where the highest tides in the world make contact with land and due to this natural phenomenon we are able to witness a new piece of amazing art at the right time twice a day sean euro is known for painting his artworks in dangerous places like on the side icebergs high up in trees and behind secluded waterfalls but don't worry he always uses eco-friendly paint the tide changes at the bay can range by 28 feet so sean had some serious challenges to navigate while making this piece of art one more thing is that sadly the canvas will one day vanish for the artwork as the sea relentlessly erodes the surface he made it on nature doesn't seem to care too much for art working on the lowest part of the wall was the biggest challenge as this was the part which was covered by the tide first so time was extremely limited and sean had to make sure he knew the ebbing and flowing of the tide perfectly number 2. kaifa kazimo kaifa kazumo is an italian artist based in the city of milan which has a pretty rich history of

angle they are viewed from stand in one place they look completely normal move somewhere else and they are bizarre and deformed his artworks which include a man rolling on the crosswalk paint another man hiding under a bridge and a woman stitching some cloth to the sidewalk are an instagram sensation so make sure you get your selfie next to one of these because it seems like this is going to be
