BUSTART
Bustart was born in 1983 in Switzerland.His works intend to leave the spectator questioning the issue behind the subject, speculating about it and enjoying it or not. Freehand with paint-brushes, markers and cans or stencils up to 8 layers. For him, there’s no limit! His favorite tools are markers and spraycans and as background definitely concrete walls. Because it has its own structure and it’s naturally grey begs for a new coating! His style is like his methode - versatile. Most widly known are his stencil works. Furthermore he spreads out his comicstyle creatures.

Mud Stencils
Mud stencils are a form of environmental street art I have been creating
since 2007. I use mud stencils in public space to promote a greater
awareness and concern for environmental issues. Through collaboration
with Nicolas Lampert I have begun using mud stencils for activism and
social justice. Our most notable collaboration was with Tamms year 10
for the reform of a horrific prison.

OBEY GIANT - Shepard Fairey
Manifesto
The OBEY sticker campaign can be explained as an experiment in Phenomenology. Heidegger describes Phenomenology as “the process of letting things manifest themselves.” Phenomenology attempts to enable people to see clearly something that is right before their eyes but obscured; things that are so taken for granted that they are muted by abstract observation.
The FIRST AIM OF PHENOMENOLOGY is to reawaken a sense of wonder about one’s environment. The OBEY sticker attempts to stimulate curiosity and bring people to question both the sticker and their relationship with their surroundings. Because people are not used to seeing advertisements or propaganda for which the product or motive is not obvious, frequent and novel encounters with the sticker provoke thought and possible frustration, nevertheless revitalizing the viewer’s perception and attention to detail. The sticker has no meaning but exists only to cause people to react, to contemplate and search for meaning in the sticker. Because OBEY has no actual meaning, the various reactions and interpretations of those who view it reflect their personality and the nature of their sensibilities.
Many people who are familiar with the sticker find the image itself amusing, recognizing it as nonsensical, and are able to derive straightforward visual pleasure without burdening themselves with an explanation. The PARANOID OR CONSERVATIVE VIEWER however may be confused by the sticker’s persistent presence and condemn it as an underground cult with subversive intentions. Many stickers have been peeled down by people who were annoyed by them, considering them an eye sore and an act of petty vandalism, which is ironic considering the number of commercial graphic images everyone in American society is assaulted with daily.
Another phenomenon the sticker has brought to light is the trendy and CONSPICUOUSLY CONSUMPTIVE nature of many members of society. For those who have been surrounded by the sticker, its familiarity and cultural resonance is comforting and owning a sticker provides a souvenir or keepsake, a memento. People have often demanded the sticker merely because they have seen it everywhere and possessing a sticker provides a sense of belonging. The Giant sticker seems mostly to be embraced by those who are (or at least want to seem to be) rebellious. Even though these people may not know the meaning of the sticker, they enjoy its slightly disruptive underground quality and wish to contribute to the furthering of its humorous and absurd presence which seems to somehow be antiestablishment/societal convention. Giant stickers are both embraced and rejected, the reason behind which, upon examination reflects the psyche of the viewer. Whether the reaction be positive or negative, the stickers existence is worthy as long as it causes people to consider the details and meanings of their surroundings. In the name of fun and observation.

ROA
ROA is a belgium street artist, his animals are typically painted in abandoned industrial estates mostly black and white, except for when he paints their vasculature and internal organs. The art is very
stylised with thick, black outlines and rather resembles pencil or chalk
sketches than more traditional graffiti. Most of the artwork depicts
rabbits, foxes, herons, ravens, and other commonly found European
wildlife.

BANKSY
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banksy
"Banksy is an anonymous British graffiti artist, political activist, film director and painter. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine irreverent dark humour with graffiti done in a distinctive stencilling technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world."
