A Look Back At The Best Of L.A. Street Art 2018
A look back at a few of the highlights that helped define this chapter in the ongoing evolution of the L.A. street art scene. 2018 saw a combination of local and visiting talent pushing visual boundaries, a number of exciting and unexpected collaborations, as well as an unsurprisingly high volume of protest art. Choosing a "best of" list inevitably means excluding a number of great works, but here, in no particular order, are Impermanent Art's ten favorite works of the year.
1. Following an awe-inspiring 2017 collaboration in Lisbon, L.A.-based street art luminary Shepard Fairey and Portuguese innovator Vhils teamed up again this year on Fairey's home turf. Consisting of a striking combination of Fairey's bold graphic renderings and Vhils' unique "scratching the surface" technique—which involves chipping, drilling and carving walls to create a portrait—the mural, entitled “American Dreamers”, addresses the challenges of becoming a resident of America and for some people--under the current administration--simply visiting it. Project supported by Branded Arts, Over The Influence gallery and Mack Sennett Studios. Location: 1215 Bates Ave, Los Feliz.
2. A perfectly-placed pasteup by Native American artist/activist Votan Henriquez in Inglewood.
3. British, NYC-based artist Dan Witz unleashed a number of subtle, unsettling works from his "Sanctuary / Is It Safe?" series when he was in town for the Beyond The Streets exhibition.
4. French street art legend Invader invaded L.A. not once but twice this year; his first appearance here since 2011. Of the 41 new works he installed on L.A.'s streets, the biggest showstopper was this Big Lebowski piece placed on a bowling alley in Koreatown.
5. Renowned, L.A.-based muralist El Mac paid spectacular tribute to "gangsta gardener" Ron Finley with this pair of rooftop murals in Historic South Central. Project supported by Art Share L.A and Meta Housing Corporation. Located at 722 E Washington Blvd in Historic South Central.
6. South African artist Faith XLVIII chose the heart of Skid Row as the first place to paint a mural after she relocated to Los Angeles. The residents of the sidewalk at the base of the wall graciously moved aside for a few days while the artwork was bring created. Entitled "salus populi suprema lex esto" ("the welfare of the people should be the supreme law"), the artwork makes a powerful statement about capitalism, which, in the artist's words, "lacks institutional empathy for non-active participants". Project produced by Co_Labs. Located at the intersection of 5th Street and Towne Ave.
7. Eminent British stencil artist JPS took a short break from his honeymoon to install a few playful, placement-specific stencil pieces around Melrose Ave.
8. Canadian, NYC-based designer Trevor Andrew, aka Gucci Ghost, saw an opportune moment and tagged this trashed television set with his philosophical musings. Curbside in Hancock Park.
9. "I'm not gonna leave this ship without you!" A characteristically beautiful and melancholy work by German artist duo Herakut, painted to mark the opening of their solo show “Rental Asylum” at Corey Helford Gallery in Boyle Heights.
10. This year HiJack continued to hone his craft and evolve his game, hitting the streets with frequency, skilled stencil work, unexpected placements and themes of scathing social commentary. This global warming-themed piece appeared one morning directly on the sands of Venice Beach on an unseasonably hot January day.

Native American Heritage Month.
This November, we're proud to honor Indigenous people & leaders who have been instrumental in advocating for social justice & cultural continuance.
Many Indigenous communities come from a matriarchal tradition where women and 2-spirit people have long held positions of power and prominence in their tribal communities.

#Repost @amplifierart ・・・ As part of the next phase of our open call, we are looking for artworks that uplift mental health, resiliency and the future we want to live in after this crisis. This artwork by @votanik is a great reminder of the way that this crisis has affected the indigenous community, and the continued resiliency of indigenous people. Votan shared that he created this work to show that “Amidst this pandemic, and those in the past that have reached our shores, we continue to thrive. We have faced more difficult times in the past and can transcend as resilient indigenous people have for centuries. When lack of resources, and government aid fail to assist our communities, we must use our gifts to uplift each other and prevail.” https://www.instagram.com/p/B_srUY7AMYB/?igshid=18bbm07ox6mz1
