1. Inkie: Born in Bristol, England and started as a street artist in the 80's with a crew called Crime Incorporated Crew (CIC) and further went on to form a different type of graffiti, which is now called 'holy trinity'. He is one of the most well known artists in England, Europe and now the world. In a recent interview by Topman, a retail store, he was asked what style of graffiti he performs and he answered that he performs a New York 'wildstyle'.
2. Banksy: Another artist from Bristol, England and a huge part of this 'holy trinity' movement. He was named one of the most influential people in 2012 and is well known for his political movement and powerful quotes and art. He has also managed to make a fairly decent career out of selling his artwork.
Both of these artists, especially over the past week have had and sent key messages through my brain and even though sometimes there work is not appreciated, there messages are undeniably extremely powerful.
Below are some other graffiti and street art:
