Since the main subject of the course is places, and we are focusing on cities, I decided I would talk about street art; which i believe it is a great way to see what the people inside these places feel, and react towards the place they live in. Street art is one of the best urban characteristics because it really shows the works of street artists, and it really embellishes the landscapes setting a mood for each corner. The artist that I chose is Cant 4 she’s been in the graffiti scene for several years from Toronto, Canada. Her work doesn’t really focus on graffiti itself but more on the imaging that she uses, she plays a lot with the subject, and different textures that the street walls have to offer, which gives her work a very expressive sensation.

Here is an image, a perfect example of how Cant 4 played with the surface of the walls, that look like tiles.
