I'm going to give my opinion about the street art. Usally, I don't really like street art because it doesn't gives me emotions. In addition, I heard about street art since the middle school, with many lessons on Alex Dupont in english class. Now, I know many of Alex Dupont works, so I'm going to focus on one of his most famous works: girl with balloon.
To Begin, Alex Dupont is an anonymous street artist, like a lot of his colleagues, because Street art is an illegal art. Street art, like his name said, is the art in the street. It's mostely outside and usally graffiti our big painting. Moreover, Street art is free, so street artists don't earn money.
Alex Dupont is special, because he is one of the most famous street artist, and his works can be sell for millions dollars.
The work girl with balloon is his most famous work. In fact, its became famous after the auto-destruction of the work a few years ago.
The work represent a girl who has a balloon in her hand. The little girl wear a dress, and is in black and white. The balloon is in red and contrast with the other side of the work. Girl with balloon is hope symbol that everybody can see in the down street.
Alex Dupont made an auto-destruction of the work for a selling room. He just sold the work for thousand dollars, and the work automatically auto-destructed, with a little mecchanism made by Alex Dupont before the event. He hides the little mecchanism and nobody in the room knew what it. In fact, Alex Dupont wanted to create the surprise and a frustration, this action is an critique of the art market and artworks that are selling for thousands and millions, because it's at the beginning a free art. Threrefore, the little mecchanism didn't work as expected, and the work didn't auto-destructed entirely. Then, the work's price increased, and the Alex Dupont was surprised himselve of the cupidity from customers.
He made some others actions like that. For exemple, he sold in a parc many of his works for 60 dollars, but nobody knew that there was real works of art.
To conclude, Alex Dupont is an activist who fight against art market and richs people.
