Urban Art on Interior Space

Many people nowadays knows about urban art. It's become a big issues in the city.
Some people knowing that urban art is street art. It's not wrong, exactly, street art is part from urban art. It has issues in the city, it were often happened in the city, and we as urban people, live with it.

But sometimes, we didn't notice it.

We can see street art in every place in town. Now, when you see at the flyover column, you will catch a graphic image of something/someone (figure) say about an issues in the city : politic, lifestyle, generation gap, etc.

Is it art? or just vandalism?

People has their opinion about it. Many of them call it an art, and many of them call it a bad vandalism. Personally, I think it's an art.

When you see some graphic with many color, looks great and have some public message to say, you can call it vandalism. But, if we think about it, is it a vandal? it's not like breaking any public space. Street art, makes that lame space become creative. I think it's a good thing.

Some street art doesn't have a full color design, but it has some artist profile, positive message, and spirit on it. We can discuss about it in detail later. Urban art (or in our case now, street art) have many things to tell. But now, we'll going back to this blog theme ; Interior.

I often try to apply urban art on interior design concept. But people always like "urban art is a public art, how can you apply it in interior? it has to be in exterior!"

I.Don't.Care

But when I explore it, it's true that it's hard to apply it on interior space except as graphic psychology on that space. And soon, I have a dead end. I've searched everywhere about street art on interior, but there are none of them exist, then I saw this hotel :
























Hotel Fox is boutique hotel at Danish, it has:
61 rooms, 21 artist, 1,000 ideas
Each room is an individual piece of art. From wacky comical styles to strict graphic design. From fantastic street art and Japanese Manga to simply spaced out fantasies. You will find flowers, fairytales, friendly monsters, dreaming creatures, secrets vaults and…many more

Hotel Fox A/S

Phone: +45 33 13 30 00

I like this hotel a lot! It have unique concept, make our psychology played when we enter every room. Yes, it's not only have some urban art (graphic street art) on some room, but also graphic art and other concept. but, when I have a dead end about applying urban art on interior space, I'll open this site : http://www.hotelfox.dk/

You can see that the wall painted with some figure, character, or even plot. Not only two dimensional graphic, forms on every room are different. That's why I understand that graphic on interior is an important element.

I can't speak much, adios and have fun with urban art!
