Generated Thick Descriptor (via Chat-GPT 4): Street art is visually provocative, often combining elements of graffiti, public art, and activism. It’s characterized by its public locations and use of different mediums such as spray paint, stencils, mosaic, and stickers. The art often incorporates social and political messages intended to engage viewers. Installed illicitly and frequently temporary, street art leverages the urban environment in its composition, transforming public spaces into canvases. Style variations include text-based messages, iconic graphics, and complex muralistic compositions.
