French Street Artist

We often see street art as murals and graffiti. Our office being situated in Surry hills, we notice and admire these creative outlets every day. Oak Oak is a French street artist, who unlike Banksy, doesn’t necessarily create to send a message. He brings the street to life, using street ornaments and urban decay as his canvas. As a creative, I love how he sees the outside world as a playground, transforming cracks in walls into lightning bolts and street and oil spills into comic characters. His outlook on life is brilliantly playful and witty, constantly asking himself: “what else could this be?” or “what does that remind me of?”

Below are just some amazing examples of his work. Find his blog here: http://oakoak.canalblog.com
