John Fekner

Looking over the artists on the blog for the decay project two caught my eye: Banksy and John Fekner. Both of their work reminds me in someways of Shepard Fairey. They use the street to display their work and flirt with the idea of whether graffiti is art and the streets the ultimate gallery. An advantage of using the world as a showcase for the work is many of there pieces become apart of the issues they are addressing. There work becomes apart the decay of society and blends in with atmosphere around it or engages those who come in counter with it.
