Galerie Guillaume Daeppen - Basel - Switserland

.
Since 2006 the gallery focus on a generation of young artists working essentially with new medias. With the show BORN TO BE PUNK (2009) the gallery confirms his new direction and continues to develop his programm and to question the concepts White Cube, Street, Urban or Guerilla Art as well the relations between art, fashion, illustration, design, music, internet and photography.
Urban art is a style of art being inspired by urban architecture or urban life style.
Urban art represents a broader cross section of artists that as well as covering street artists working in formal gallery spaces also cover artists using more traditional media but with a subject matter that deals with contemporary urban culture and political issues.
