Talk byRoger Mendham.

Over the past 50 years street art has evolved from its roots in American graffiti to
becoming a global art movement. From portraiture to abstract expressionism, many
of the major conventional genres are included in street art and the leading artists
have exhibited their work internationally.

If the only street artist you have heard of is Banksy and you dislike graffiti this talk will
amaze you. It focuses on a number of different styles of street art as well as
some leading artists, who have global reputations and whose works transcend the
urban and traditional art scenes.

Presented by The Arts Society Chipstead, this event is part of Banstead Arts Festival.
