Fabulous street art from Argentina posted by my friend Paul. Don’t miss it
Buenos Aires is a veritable smorgasbord of street art. There are hotspots to be found in Palermo, La Boca and San Telmo, but you can find street art, large and small, almost anywhere in the city. There is a vibrant mix of street artists, the majority of whom seem to be home grown with foreign artists added to the mix. The effect on the city is huge, with artworks frequently found covering whole buildings. Given the global nature of street art, and competition between cities, Buenos Aires must be in the street art premier league.

I’ve been fascinated with urban art of the more or less illicit type for years, ever since I moved to Hoxton in London, the former…

I love street art, and I like that the government is OK with it as long as you have permission of the building owner. It is a great selling point for tourism. Hugs
And for strollers.
Happy new year Scotty. Hope you solve (at least most) your health issues. How’s that going?
I am doing very well thank you. Right now doing something I should have done before but couldn’t. Now that so many issues are in remission or been handled, I am having a bunch of mouth / teeth care. I just got done with two deep scale cleanings. They still are not sure if I can keep my teeth, but it looks much better. I have a lot of bone loss and periodontal problems. Most important with all that is happening I feel hope. I feel happy. I am not just existing till I pass on, I have a chance to enjoy life as a contributing adult. Thanks for asking. How is everything going for you. I know you took a heck of a shock last year. You doing better? Hugs
Well, that’s good news. Keep on taking good care of yourself. As for… the sorrow, only time can heal that. The trip was a good move towards that. One step at a time. Be good my friend.
i absolutely love street art and take photos of it everywhere I go. Although, from your lovely photos, I think there may be more street art in Buenos Aires these days than when I was there in 2011 – I missed your captures.
I have a similar one to your last shot but this one I took in Chile and named it ‘Talking Heads’: http://www.nillasphotography.com/galleries/chile-2011/ui/DQ0M5PD411-TGF-5PHP8N
Photos are not mine, but of a very good blogger friend. Judging by the freshness, some may be quite recent. Here in Mexico city there is new art all the time. I feature some in my pot-pourri series.
Your talking heads are great. 🙂 Daughter #2, the one who wrote the Yoga barn went to Chile last year and sent me a bunch of street art which I put together in a post. You may have seen some of the art:

Thanks.
I checked out the Chile art in your link and it reminds of what I saw there back in 2011 – very cool.
You do move around. 🙂 (Last time I went to Chile was in 1994…) Tempus fugit
I try to, we only get one shot at it. 😉
I’m sure Chile was a very different country in ’94.
I haven’t written about half the countries I’ve travelled to…one day I’ll get around to uploading all my hard copy travel journals into WP.
That would be nice. Though a titanic effort. Look forward to tidbits.
Thanks and look forward to reading more on your site. 😉
Forgot to mention, I have another post on Cosenza scheduled for the 11th Feb, which includes a few street art shots 😉
Look forward to it.
😀 Love this graffitis from my city 😀 ❤ Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
Oh, that’s right. 🙂 You probably know some of them. Paul is the one to thank. He has a great blog and a great eye. I may say that he introduced me to street art a few years. Before that, I wasn’t paying attention. 🙂
So, any street art that you have seen in person?
I took some great pics of Art Street in Palermo, La Boca and The Planetarium. Maybe one day, I´ll organize them in a gallery to show you! 🙂
Me encantaría. Buen fin.
For some, existence is misery; for others, existence is mistery; any yet for others existence just is – no labels, no questions asked.
Beautiful art, thanks to you and Paul for bringing it to us.
Let us remember that exisTence as a T. 😉
Indeed, let it be a mystery rather than misery (latin languages allow an I instead of a Y). 😉
True. Actually the Y in French is called an “I grec”.
Precisely the same in Romanian, just without the “round” R in pronounciation. 😀
Wonderful art, Brian! Such a good idea to cheer up old and dull buildings. The first one is my favourite.
Credits go to my friend Paul from notesfromacamelidcountry. I’ve only actually spent a coupla days in B.A. I do like the first too. With a T. 😉
Juste magnifique !! Un grand Merci 🙏🏻
Paul Bell is the one to thank. C’est lui l’auteur.
J’irai 😊 mais le partage est essentiel pour toucher un maximum d’âme
J’aime beaucoup flâner dans ton univers Equinoxio. Superbe blog qui nous fait voyager. au plaisir de venir m’y reposer. bises
Merci chère amie. La porte est toujours ouverte. (Et vu le froid, je viens de rajouter une bûche ou deux dans la cheminée) Bz
And it’s so good as well…or is that down to your curation?
The post? No. Paul’s entire own doing. (We do see eye to eye on street art, though. Reason why I reblogged his work)
Yes it did occur to me that you didn’t go to Argentina recently…thought it was a collection from your annals. But yes I’d defo say he has your eyeballs.
My eyeballs? Or viceversa? 😉
Well coming from my direction who only knows you I’d say YOUR eyeballs. But is this an admission that you have been stealing your friend’s work all along Sebastien?!!
Do I need to add this to YOUR FILE!!!
Check your computer. I have found this neat (russian) app that erases all… sensitive files on January 31st. Just click here.
Your files have already been typed up on an old fashioned typewriter by a lowly paid child servant. They are impervious to your nefarious intentions sir!
Typewriters will soon be banned. Gafa have put forward a bill that forbids typewriting as it cannot be electronically monitored. The following bill will ban handwriting. Too seditious.
Stranger things have happened dear Walter.
Absolument chère amie. French will also be banned, because nobody understands what they mean.
In some parts of Britain the French are just banned generalement.
Not surprised. A thousand years ago, we sent the Normands to put a bit of order. To no avail.
The main thing is that everyone took part, it’s not about the winning.
Share and share alike. As I am mad about street art, just retweeted Paul’s post. Thanks for putting in my sights. Can not wait to visit there in 2019!
Glad you liked it Lisa. i’m sure Paul will be pleased. Have a lovely week-end in Asia, wherever you are. (I miss the place already…)
very colorful! 🙂
My friend Paul did a very good job on this post. (and others)
I would love to cruise the streets of downtown Johannesburg as there are some super examples I am told. However, Camera/Johannesburg city centre are a combination that will scream Mug Me!
I can well imagine… What a shame, Jo’burg was a nice place I’m told. (Another reason why I only carry a phone for pix) 😉
Well, reading this doesn’t make me feel any better, but at least I am not the only one who gets nervous carrying a camera.
Jo’burg used to be great fun to stroll around. But that was a long time ago, I’m afraid.
I’m told it has improved somewhat but I am skeptical of such bright-eyed assurances, to be honest.
I may have told you cousins of mine live in S.A. One in Cape Town, the other in Jo’burg I think. Both were born in Africa. They will stay. But last I heard, most of their kids have gone to England. A shame
It is not east to uproot and move when one’s whole life is invested in a place.
We have on occasion contemplated moving but for a change of environment and pace rather than any other major reason.
We have family in the UK and Portugal and dear friends in Cyprus, so a move would not be completely out the question.
My wife and I not natives and hold European citizenship. And of course, a change of scenery might be fun!
Who knows, right?
Yes. Who knows? We still have our Frog passports. And though “our lives are invested here”, we have been considering a bit of nomadism a few years hence. Maybe a few months in France, and a few here in Mexico. We’ll see. Hold on to your UK passports! 🙂
Amazing art! Great photos, thank you.
My pleasure. Though I’m not the author. A friend of mine.
There is some amazing street art out there in the world.
There is. I got some good stuff pending from here in Mexico. Plus what I just shot in Asia. (The key issue is sorting the pix) 😉
Then get to sorting! 🙂
On-going job. Just posted to-day. Singapore. 🙂
lots and lots of colours 🙂
Yes. Not my production. Reblogged it from a friend of mine. But I really like the art.
