Another weekend escape from the village saw us again meandering through the streets of Busan. Its amazing what you find when you’re not looking…
All these photos were taken in the areas around PNU, Jangjeon, Kyungsang University and Haeundae. Busan represent!
Thanks for sharing. Those are pretty neat.
We are hoping that we can keep finding more!
Excellent gallery of street art. It interests me how some of it is very similar to what I see in my neighbourhood in the inner west/ city fringe of Sydney & in other street art blogs, and some is different to anything anywhere else I’ve seen for real or via WordPress. Thnx for sharing.
Thanks for your comment! There is a great variety of art here and it seems to be displayed really proudly. Very cool 🙂
AWESOME street art! I never thought South Korea would have such a thing. I loved the Yoda and little kid with the guitar. That’s my favorites.
Its pretty cool eh! We’re constantly amazed by little discoveries like these around Korea. There’s more than meets the eye…
Those are so great! I’ve never seen anything like that in our town. Some of it looks a little bit like Banksy stuff.
To be honest, its not stuff we had expected to see in Korea either. When you notice one piece, though, you suddenly start noticing it all around the place. Very cool 🙂
wonderful pictures—my favorite is the lips and lungs!
The lips and lungs are actually part of something called “Start from Zero” which we’ve seen in a few different places now…a google search led us to this http://startfromzero.org/about/ – pretty cool!
That link was great, thanks – I had been wondering whether they ware doing everything freehand or using stencils and things. Fantastic stuff.
Wow! Love the bands’ wall! Thanks!
Thanks for your comment! We love discovering random art around the place – and yeah, that band wall is pretty cool 🙂
There’s some talented street art. Great shots!
Thanks! Art is always a great discovery!
I love those monkeys!
BOOM! New desktop wallpaper!
Cool! The stencil work around and about is pretty wicked 🙂
Whow needs galleries eh?! Love the spray can in particular!
Isn’t it cool? That was the first image that caught our eye from the street, prompting us to head down towards the river to see what else we could find. Very cool.
Some of the street art reminds me of the style of Banksy, ESP the monkey silhouettes! My fave would have to be the spray can column! 🙂
Yeah that’s definitely one of our favourites too!
This is really cool!!!!!!
Thanks! A little bit of art always makes the day better 🙂
Amazing shots !! Thanks for sharing !!
Thanks for your comment! We’re now always keeping our eyes peeled for art lurking in corners and down alleyways…
Hi Guys, thanks for dropping by, I’ve just trolled through all you blog. Love all things Korean…well almost. I have friend who lives in Gangneung and spent some time in a Hagwon in Donghae. he told me similar things. Great stuff.
mettalique
Thanks for the comment! Yeah hagwons are definitely a mixed bag for sure 🙂 But we’re learning heaps!
So cool, I love the spray can one best I think. I’ve been living in Sydney with my friend Deb, check out her work http://www.deb.net.au/ She’s making it as a street artist, doing a tour of the US this month.
Thanks for your comments and the link to your friends site – very, very cool!
So cool! Thanks for sharing! I feel the spark of creativity after seeing these shots! Thanks! 🙂
Awesome! Thanks for your comments 🙂
Awesome score! Loving the monkeys!!
Yeah, they’re wicked eh??!! I also love that picture of the Korean lady in the hanbok (traditional clothing thingy)…and the spray can…and…arggghh they’re all pretty cool!!!
yeah yeah, they’re cool as!! I love hunting down random graff… Need to find me some talent to do it! haha
Awesome photos! The streets of South Korea seem to be real artistic
There’s definitely a bit around once you start noticing it but only in certain areas. Street art isn’t really something you expect to find in a country like South Korea (its very conservative and places high importance on perfection as a society) but that’s what makes it even cooler when you DO find it 🙂
