Anat Ronen: Urban Legend
September 10, 2019 – January 11, 2020 Rebecca Cole Gallery It is in the street that I feel the best. The vast canvas that the street offers, the instant exposure, the affordability, the accessibility, the unfiltered public outlet–all this fits me like a glove. In the street, all humans are seemingly equal; there are no pretenses or social snobbery, age or gender differences, cultural origins, or physical appearances. In the street, it’s just you, the structure, and the passerby. Urban art, a style of art that relates to cities and city life, has become a global phenomenon of the 21st century. Urban artists, who often live in cities and have a passion for city life, have propelled the urban art scene into our popular culture, creating pieces of art set to brick, cinder block, or sidewalks. While urban art started at the neighborhood level, where people of different cultures live together, the art form quickly spread globally, which is evidenced by the work of urban artist Anat Ronen, whose work is displayed nationally, as well as internationally in Israel, China, Colombia, the United Kingdom, and Germany.
