23. FALLEN 9000



This inspiring tribute to fallen soldiers only managed to last a few hours

To mark International Peace Day back in 2013, British artists Jamie Wardley and
Andy Moss accompanied by 60 volunteers and 500 local residents, took to the
beaches of Normandy and etched 9000 fallen soldier silhouettes into the sand
using rakes and stencils. The piece was washed away by the tide after only a few
hours, but created a lasting impact. 




24. DALEAST



DALeast's 3D style is instantly recognisable

Born in China, DALeast has spread his distinctive 3D technique of street art
across public spaces all over the world. The artist paints creatures that appear
to have been wrought from twisted metal. His pieces are instantly recognisable
and burst with energy.


25. PEZ



Pez began painting in 1999 on the outskirts of Barcelona

Street artist Pez (Spanish for fish) started painting in 1999 on the outskirts
of Barcelona. Wanting to find a way to communicate and spread good vibes to the
people of the city, Pez decided that his signature mark would be a fish
character with a huge smile.





Since then, the artist has gone on to gain international recognition, exhibiting
his work all around the globe. The last few years has also seen him create
several new characters, including demons, angels and Martians. All have one
thing in common – a huge and infectious smile.

26. DAVID DE LA MANO



Spanish artist David de la Mano creates amazing monochromatic street art

Spanish artist David de la Mano creates striking and often slightly unsettling
street art based around silhouettes. This typically creepy piece is entitled
Silent Sound. 




27. NESPOON



Polish artist NeSpoon decorates Warsaw with beautifully intricate patterns

Although she also creates more traditional murals, Polish artist NeSpoon also
creates street art that's a little different. Alongside paintings, NeSpoon also
decorates buildings with cobweb-like doilies, and etches intricate designs into
cement.


28. C215



C215's stencilled street art features the marginalised and vulnerable

Parisian artist Christian Guémy – also known as C215 – uses stencils to produce
beautiful street art depicting vulnerable and marginalised groups of society
including refugees, street children and the elderly. Since creating his first
work over 20 years ago he's developed a huge following. His street art can be
spotted in galleries, auctions and on streets all over the world, in cities
including Barcelona and London.


29. INTERESNI KAZKI



Ukranian duo Interesni Kazki create vibrant street art

Ukrainian duo AEC and Waone, aka Interesni Kazki, create bright and vibrant
street art that references a variety of cultures and art forms including sci-fi,
Mexican folk tales, religion and classical art. For the most part their surreal
ideas are created with acrylic paint using rollers, although on some very small
pieces of work they use spray cans.


30. GAIA



Gaia creates surreal and colourful murals

New York-born, Baltimore-based street artist Gaia's incredible skills, combined
with his strange compositions have gained him worldwide recognition. He's also
keen to help others explore the street art medium, setting up festivals and
group sessions to fill places like his town of Baltimore with new and exciting
murals.


31. JULIAN BEEVER



Julian Beever creates whole 3D worlds with just a pavement and some chalk

There's nothing quite like walking along your local high street and coming
across a whole new, 3D world – completely made of chalk. Many other chalk
artists could have featured in this list, but it's Julian Beever's playful
approach to the medium that has us in awe.

The British artist started out as a busker, before attracting commercial
commissions in the mid 2000s. He even made a 10-part TV series and released a
book, Pavement Chalk Artist, in 2011.


32. SEE NO EVIL



For two consecutive summers, Bristol – home of Banksy and centre of a vigorous
street art scene – played host to one of the biggest celebrations of street art
Europe has ever seen.

Organised by legendary street artist Inkie and Team Love, it was See No Evil's
mission to transform one of city's most deprived stretches of road into a work
of art. Nelson Street, located in Bristol's city centre was a dreary, grey
walkway. Artists from around the world, including New York's Tats Cru and LA's
El Mac descended upon the city to bring it to life. 


33. SLINKACHU



Slinkachu's Little People Project combines street art and photography

Using characters from model train sets, Slinkachu's Little People Project is a
mixture of street art and photography. If you've had the pleasure of stumbling
upon one of his odd little creations, you'll appreciate his humour and childlike
imagination.

Slinkachu says that the titles he gives to each scene, "aims to reflect the
loneliness and melancholy of living in a big city, almost being lost and
overwhelmed". However, he is quick to add that "underneath this, there is always
some humour".


34. JOSHUA ALLEN HARRIS



As you'll already have gathered, not all street art involves the use of spray
paint. This video from Joshua Allen Harris shows just what can be created with a
few household items.

Now primarily a photographer, back in 2008 Harris caused a stir with his
Inflatable Bag Monster project. The artist created creatures using disregarded
plastic bags and attached them to subway grates around New York, ready to be
inflated into life by gusts of air from passing trains. Some of the pieces had
an environmental angle, such as the plastic polar bear, which deflated to its
death to offer a strong message about global warming and the effects it
continues to have on the world we live in.


35. BANKSY



Banksy's stencils often tackle political issues – this work in Paris comments on
the treatment of refugees

The best-known street artist across the world, Banksy's challenging, contrary
and thought-provoking, stencil-based art has made a huge impact on both high and
low culture. In recent years he's branched out with more ambitious projects
including a hotel in Bethlehem and a theme park in Weston-Super-Mare, but his
politically charged stencil artwork continues to make an stir wherever it
appears.

Hailing from Bristol, UK, the artist keeps his identity a secret. Some claim he
has a team of people working on each creation while others believe he still
works alone. Whatever the case, his art remains as impactful as ever. 


36. PAVEL PUHOV



Puhov is sometimes called the 'Russian Banksy'

Known as the 'Russian Banksy', street artist Pavel Puhov (aka Pavel 183 or
P-183), has been cooking up a political storm in his native country for over a
decade. Like Banksy, the artist's identity is unknown, adding to the mystique
surrounding him.

The Moscow-based graffiti artist's creations often have a strong political
stance. Some have included paintings of riot police, civilian protesters and
even a reimagined painting of National Geographic's infamous Afghan girl photo.
Placing his art in very public locations, such as subway doors, makes certain
that it's not ignored.


37. JAN VORMANN



Jan Vormann 'repairs' old buildings with brightly coloured blocks

A German native, Jan Vormann spent three years travelling the world, 'repairing'
crumbling and disregarded buildings with his brightly coloured version of
Polyfilla. The venture had humble beginnings, starting out in a small art fair
in Rome before moving onto bigger ventures. He has even filled the holes of
buildings in Berlin that had been damaged by guns during the second World War.
