From 3-dimensional water phoenixes to underground Santa chambers in the middle of the street, we count 20 seriously awesome street art ever created by massively talented people.
20 – Santa’s Grotto
- This one was created by Julian Beever the veteran 3D street painter in December last year – it depicts an underground cave with Santa and his elves hard at work building presents
- Today it lies in Camberley, United Kingdom – and it only took him a total of 4 days to complete
19 – Ronzo
- This one is part of a series of birds randomly placed in London’s Brick Lane as well as council estates by independent artist Ronzo the “Vandal Extraordinaire”
- They’re meant to contrast the bland, mundane environments around them – gansta birds wearing bling and filled with colour in a grey street
18 – Shopping Mall Waterfall
- This one was created by German artist Edgar Muller in Shanghai, 2009
- In total the blue waterfall extends in a massive 300-square-meter diameter corded off by gates – and the reason it was made was to promote Shanghai’s 2010 World Expo happening one year afterwards
17 – Phoenix
- This is also by Edgar Muller, a giant flying water phoenix flying up from a rocky pool in Michigan, USA
- It was originally created for the City Art Gallery mid-2011 and drew crowds from all around the world to pose for photographs and the like
16 – Fallen Soldiers
- A publicly collaborative effort headed by British artists Jamie Wardley and Andy Moss to honour International Peace Day
- They were joined by over 50 volunteers and 500 locals to rake and stencil in body lines on the beaches of Normandy
- They only lasted a few hours before the tide rolled in and washed them away, but they managed 9,000 bodies
