Street Vandalism - Beautiful Street Drawing Artwork Vandalism

Street Vandalism is the action involving deliberate destruction of or damage to public or private property. The term includes property damage, such as graffiti and defacement directed towards any property without permission of the owner. The term finds its roots in an Enlightenment view that the Germanic Vandals were a uniquely destructive people.

French artist Cal is a vandal. Only their mischiefs aren't rude or destructive. Rather, smart, creative, and joyful. But most notably, inclusive. The Lyon-based street artist sprinkles their works in urban places, leaving them interacting with their surroundings. Think painted fish "escaping" a drain pipe or a red and white traffic sign "becoming" Waldo.

"I would say my art is light-hearted," Cal told. "I play with what surrounds me. I love distracting things from their original purpose." Naturally, in order to spot so many opportunities where others don't, one really needs to keep their eyes open. "I walk a lot, I see loads of things," Cal said. "I love observing, looking at details. I often notice that a specific stone, piece of pavement, tree, brick looks like something."
