Street art in southern Stockholm In 2014 Ake visited London and went on a street art tour in East End. That tour was really good and Ake saw much interesting art of very high quality. In the years since then we have from time to time found street art also in other cities.

Street Art in Stockholm
What a fantastic collection...superb. Too hard to pick a favourite. Love that the artists have respect for each others work not to tag them or try to superimpose upon them. They all seem to have their own space which may be why they are so beautifully crafted.

Obviosly done without competition

The Hulk

Embracing the Art of urban living!
What a beautiful collection. I especially love it when the artist uses characteristics of the surface to inform the piece - like with the Hulk's muscles here. Generally speaking I prefer organic street art over ones commissioned by councils etc. because you get a truer sense of the real vibe of the street culture of that place... I know someone who photographs the street art of Melbourne and publishes them with geotags to make it easier for street art hunters; but given the transient nature of these works, it's also a great documentation of the changing faces of a city. Thanks for sharing a different face of Stockholm :)
