One perk of visiting different cities is seeing the different styles of street art. Charleston has its own distinct style, which our readers showcased, and then we went across the globe, seeing the different ways that humans decorate the areas they live.
From Sherrill Biggers of Charleston, “Walking north on Anson Street and looking down Guignard Street, you have to look twice to see that the horse, and his/her window, are not real, but instead are street art at its most realistic. Taken in the summer of 2021 at Old South Carriage Co. in Ansonborough.”
This week’s winner is Sue Austin with a photo of an Italian street artist at work.
The honorable mentions are Sherrill Biggers, with an image of a realistic horse mural in downtown Charleston, and Lara Wilson, with a photo of a street mural in Portugal.
From Lara Wilson of Mount Pleasant, “A mural on a street in Lisbon, Portugal.”
