Cape Town is South Africa’s hub of creativity and it comes as no surprise that our streets are filled with breathtaking works of art conceptualised and created by local artists and international creatives.
Grafitti and street art are forms of creative expression that differ in medium, style and technique. This urban creative form originally boomed in the early 1980s and has grown exponentially since then.
Graffiti and street art are not exactly the same thing. People who identify as graffiti artists, pride themselves in their can control and make use of spray paint as their main artistic media, however, those who identify as street artists make use of a larger number of media to create their work, and sometimes use brushes as well as various other textiles.
Here are some beautiful one-of-a-kind pieces you can view and enjoy right here in our lively Cape Town neighbourhoods:
