Street Art:beautifully painted stairs from all over the world
Street art is gradually coming to be accepted
as a legitimate and wonderful art form by more and more people, but that
doesn’t mean that street artists can rest on their laurels – they
continue exploring with new ways to exploit public surfaces and cover
them in beautiful art. This post is all about street artists and regular
people who have decorated something that most of us probably wouldn’t
think of decorating – public outdoor steps.
Quite a few of these pieces were born out of
community efforts, which also shows a growing worldwide acceptance of
street art. When the Rainbow steps in Turkey were first painted over by
the local government, nearby communities responded by painting their own
steps as well in solidarity. The mosaic steps in San Francisco were
created by more than 300 local people under the careful guidance of a
couple of artists.
Are there any similar steps in your city that
are worth sharing? If not, hopefully these images will inspire you to
get your community together and paint your steps together! These simply
colorful decorations can make the neighbourhood a more uplifting place.
Let’s take together 18 of the most beautiful steps around the world!
