We all have that one friend. That one who has that biting sense of humor that you don't know if he's joking or if he's telling you the truth. All in all, everyone knows he has a way with words. In fact, they're always dripping with sarcasm. If that person were to create street art, I imagine it would look something like this.

UK-based Mobstr puts up simple sentences that were designed…

According to Juxtapoz, the artist duo behind it, Icy and Sot "decided after their president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared…

What happens when a swanky hotel and an open-minded art gallery come together? You get a permanent outdoor installation that celebrates the art of graffiti. Currently on the wall of Mondrian SoHo are 120 photographs of New York's Lower East Side taken by Sol LeWitt in 1979.

Called On the Walls of the Lower East Side, the outdoor exhibition shows the decayed landscape of the…
