We all know that street art can be controversial, political and beautiful, but it takes an extra spark of creativity (or luck) to create the sort of street art that can cleverly make use of its surroundings and location to give it extra depth.
These clever site-specific arrangements take these pieces of street art above and beyond. Rather than just painting a preconceived painting on a public canvas, these artists found locations that work together with their artwork. Whether it’s meaningful, beautiful, funny, or a bit of each, these clever and imaginative pieces of site-specific street art are definitely worth checking out.

great ideas! i love the small pieces, they gave me some cool ideas.
This is a favourite Artfido piece of mine. It’s a funny thing how graffiti bugs us but when it is art like this we are totally amazed with delight. How I wish artists would do a picture of the river Styx in Hell flooding with all the paraphenalia of the tobacco companies.
