Maybe it’s all the architecture in the city, the Gaudi or the Gehry, but there’s something that really makes street art fit in Barcelona. Barcelona Street Scraps, by Brian Reedy, is an elegant blog that captures and shares examples of Barcelona’s incredible street art movement. Street art is commonly defined as an open-ended, mixed media endeavor that frequently incorporates stencils, graffiti, posters, and installations, which exists outside of traditional protected areas, and is bounded only by the surfaces and spaces of the city itself. Street art is always changing, getting painted over and cleaned off – frequently one piece of art is partially covered up and incorporated into the next. This process of decay and regeneration, these many and varied ‘transitional blemishes’ are what make street art unique. The simple, continuous scrolling style of this blog helps it to mirror the street art experience, of coming upon these beautiful works by accident, and is made even more beautiful by its simplicity. That being said, each of Brian’s photos or albums are accompanied by a thought-provoking article. Overall, BCN Street Scraps does a tremendous job of capturing, preserving and sharing these ephemeral works with the world! Check it out now
