How Knitted Street Art is Brightening Cities Worldwide

Knitted street art, sometimes called guerrilla crochet, is a fun and creative way people are changing their neighborhoods.

Instead of using spray paint or drawing, these artists use yarn to decorate everyday things like trees, benches, and bikes. They turn plain spaces into colorful and eye-catching works of art. This type of art combines the coziness of handmade crafts with the boldness of outdoor art. It’s not just about making things look pretty — it’s about adding happiness, color, and a sense of togetherness to our streets.

For some truly inspiring knitted street art, check out the works of artists like B-Arbeiten and Agata Olek (Olek). Their creative installations have transformed urban spaces around the world, showcasing just how powerful yarn can be in reshaping public spaces.

Street Artist Näutil

By Näutil in Siouville-Hague, France.

Näutil: I am forwarding a project that I’ve released these days, made with paint and graffiti bomb on 3D pattern, the basic idea was to revitalize an abandoned place full of history: a world war 2 blockhaus, collapsed, almost lying on its side. At first it was about to humanize this place with some poetry: before, the eye of the soldiers were watching the dead coming from the sea, and now there is this big blue eye, looking at the life and moves coming from waves movements, talks and answers, interactions of two creations coming from man and nature… And then also I’ve wanted to point out the damage that may make human at some sites (into the pupil, the silhouette of the nuclear power plant from La Hague).

It’s truly amazing how mother nature can carve out such a perfect shape

By Jimmy Swift near the shore of Palolem Beach, South Goa, India.

“When I first saw this rock it looked like a perfect place for a great white. Hopefully it doesn’t scare the shit out of people! This was inspired by the movie posters from Jaws…. A movie that scared the shit out of me when I was a kid!” – Jimmy Swift

“This was the hardest thing I’ve ever painted. I was literally beat up by the waves and rising tide and forced to stop before it was finished. I could have done better, but between the blowing sand and wind, splashing waves, burning hot sun and the fact I’ve never painted a shark before or painted on a 3 dimensional surface like a rock…. I think it turned out OK” – Jimmy Swift

“Sometimes I plan things but for most of the time, I just see something and create it. For example, the shape of the rock was just soo perfect that I didn’t need to think about much. The shark was already there. I just pumped a little life into him/her. So I basically just brought those lines out with a little white and black spray paint,” – Jimmy Swift

Mosaic in old town of Hvar, Croatia

Roman mosaic re-discovered last year (2021) in Stari Grad, Hvar island, Croatia. Photos from Muzej Staroga Grada / Stari Grad Museum.

Muzej Staroga Grada / Stari Grad Museum: The mosaics are decorated with multicolor geometric and floral motifs and are of superior workmanship. By analogy with similar mosaics and known workshop styles, thy can be dated to the 2nd century AD. We will have a better insight into the purpose of this luxurious building of the Roman Faria after the analysis and interpretation of archaeological finds and after merging all the plans of rooms with mosaic floors under surrounding houses, which were excavated in previous decades.

Amazing Mosaic Repairs (15 Photos)

In the world of street art, where walls, buildings, and other vertical surfaces often steal the show, Ememem brings something refreshingly different to the table — or rather, to the pavement.

Known as the “pavement surgeon,” this French street artist transforms cracks, potholes, and other urban blemishes into stunning mosaic artworks. With a trowel in hand and tiles at the ready, Ememem has made a name by bringing beauty to what most people overlook.

1.

The Art of Flacking

Ememem’s unique practice is known as “flacking,” a term the artist coined to describe the act of filling urban cracks with intricate designs. The colorful patterns often stand out against the dull grays of asphalt and concrete. Each piece transforming damage into art.

---

2.

The first flacking by Ememem

From Lyon to the World

Based in Lyon, France, Ememem started flacking in 2016. The artist’s works have since spread to streets across Europe, making appearances in cities like Paris, Madrid, and Milan. Every piece is site-specific, tailored to the unique shape and character of each crack or hole. Whether it’s a geometric explosion of color or a more subdued design that blends with the environment, Ememem’s mosaics are unmistakable.

---

3.

Democratizing Public Space

Ememem’s art does more than beautify streets; it also reclaims public spaces for everyone. By addressing overlooked areas and elevating them through art, the artist highlights the power of creativity in transforming everyday environments. The work is accessible to all, reinforcing the idea that art doesn’t need to be confined to galleries or museums.

---

4.

Themes and Inspiration

The mosaics often reflect themes of repair, resilience, and humor. Some designs include playful patterns that mimic flowers, mandalas, or traditional tilework, while others incorporate messages or hidden symbols. This blend of craft and commentary invites viewers to look closer and engage with the art on a personal level. Each piece tells a story of renewal, where broken streets are given new life.

---

5.

Viral Appeal

With the rise of social media, Ememem’s works have gained global recognition. The striking visuals are a favorite for Instagram, where hashtags like #flacking and #urbanart help spread the artist’s creations to audiences far beyond the streets where they’re found. The visually compelling mosaics often go viral. Follow Ememem Instagram here.

Mosaic Artist Gary Drostle

By Gary Drostle in London, UK.

Gary Drostle: On leaving Art College in 1984 I was determined to create work outside of the gallery system. I wanted to make work out in public spaces. Works which harmonized with, and were part of, our built environment.

This vision was inspired by my long fascination with classical and ancient art and my own belief in art as an expression of all of our existence, open and accessible to all.

Over the course of more than thirty years dedicated to creating site specific artworks that original passion has only increased as I have become more aware of our relationship with our environment and my skills to create such work have broadened and developed.

Gary Drostle: The whole world of graffiti and street art I find extremely vibrant and inspiring and I am very honored to have had the opportunity to create with or alongside some great street artists including an amazing project with InkCrew in Bogota and international mosaic artists in Santiago, Chile. I have also taken part in the UpFest, Bristol and the Street Art Biennale in Cali, Colombia.

Gary Drostle: Koi lily pond mosaic – There’s something about making the surface of water in mosaic that completely captivates me but at the same time is endlessly frustrating as inevitably I fail to capture it. Each one pushes me on to the next.

Ancient Inspiration

Gary Drostle: My first and greatest inspiration has always been ancient art. From cave paintings to Greek Black Figure vases and on to the fabulous mosaic floors of the Roman world.

I studied Classics at school and find the British Museum in London is the place I return to again and again. My ‘logo’ of course was inspired by the many ghostly hands found on ancient cave sites around the world, perhaps the original signature.

Not a hand print but the impression left by a hand removed these ancient signatures for me symbolize the effect we leave behind on our environment and also represent a very open and democratic view of artistic participation.

There are two attributes of much of these works that particularly inspire me. One is the integration of these works with the human environment, they are knitted into the everyday life and culture in a way that our society seems to have almost forgotten. The second attribute is the balance of meaning, pattern and abstraction that is something I continuously aspire to.

Sasha Korban: This mural supports the idea of finding a good balance in life. The young fragile girl reflects the human’s internal harmony together with the joy of existence. A bunch of chairs is a metaphor for the world’s chaos and the diversity of different moments we all go through – positive, tragic, happy and sad. They make us balance and find the harmony.

Norway-based street artist Skurk has done quite a few impressive murals, but this time an art collective called BART gave him quite a challenging task – a building wall with a staircase and light bulbs. Skurk found a perfect solution.

He used the lamps to create a nightmarish anglerfish, a bony sea creature famous for a luminescent ‘antenna’ on its head. Anglerfish use this organ to lure their prey in dark water environments. Also, females use it to attract males for mating. “Those lamps asked for some mean incorporation,” Skurk said.

“Flight” by Tatyana Fazlalizadeh at 1228 Spruce St. in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with Mural Arts Philadelphia. Photos by Steve Weinik and James.

Tatyana Fazlalizadeh: This painting, 100 ft in the air, is so special to me. I lived in the building it is painted on when I was 17 years old. This series is so special to me. I’ve long wanted to create it, and join the long list of Black artists and writers who have used the mythology of Black folk flying in their work. I’ve interviewed so far several Black people about the idea of our ability to fly. Photographed them. Discussed freedom and healing with them.

Tatyana Fazlalizadeh: “I let go of what has weighed me down. Light as a feather, I ride the wind. Like Black folks have always done. Flying free above the structures built to confine us.” It took me a while to get to this final writing of prose for the mural. I wanted to convey both my own personal weightlessness as a means to fly, inspired by Toni Morrison’s writing. As well as a reference to the collective ability found in historical stories. My work is generally about how we experience particular environments on the ground through the lens of race and gender. This project is breaking that open, offering public images of us traversing a new space – the air – above societal structures and boundaries.

ATTORREP: Life is an alternation of fluctuating situations. It is a fluctuation of opposing thoughts and feelings. Each of us has a different perception of what is constantly happening around us in relation to our sensitivity.

Why do girls and boys love swings?
Why do they love looking at the sky trying to get closer and closer?
Why do dizziness like to run down your back?

The swing is the best metaphor of life: the breeze of the present gives the push towards the future, while a shiver rises and dusts off the past.

Origami fox mural by Annatomix for St Modwen Homes in Longbridge, Birmingham, UK.

Annatomix: So pleased to have finished these foxes for #stmodwenhomes in #longbridge. They’re sitting on a future nature / art trail that’s not open yet, but I will update you all when it is. These lads are all around 15ft tall and painted on some of the wettest brickwork I’ve ever had the pleasure of tackling. And that’s why this job took weeks.

What are your inspirations or what inspires you?

Annatomix: I get inspiration for my work from a huge variety of places, but my main focus is around the relationship between humanity and nature – such as how humanity tries to force nature to do what it wants, and how futile that is.

I read a lot and I particularly enjoy philosophy, theology and mythology – the more ancient, the better – and this also has a big influence on what I create.

“Floating World” by Ray Bartkus in Marijampolė, Lithuania.

This remarkable mural by Ray Bartkus was intentionally painted upside-down to create a magical effect. The swimmers, rowers, and swans appear right-side-up only when reflected in the waters of the Šešupė River, which flows through the heart of the city.

Visitors to the old dam are invited to rediscover the mural’s beauty time and time again. As Bartkus explains:

“The drawing itself is created in reverse, and its true form is revealed only in the water’s reflection. I hope that every time people pass by, they will discover something new, because this artwork, like our days in life, is never the same as it was yesterday.”

What do you think about the mural that reveals itself when you look at its reflection in the water?

Located in the charming Śródka district of Poznań, Poland, an eye-catching mural by artist Radosław Barek has become a beloved attraction.

Found east of Ostrów Tumski on ul. Śródka 3, the mural transports viewers to Śródka in the 1920s, featuring a vibrant cast of characters that include a rotund butcher, a trumpeter, a cat, and Władysław Odonic, the Duke of all Greater Poland during that era.

What makes this mural particularly impressive is its clever use of three-dimensional illusions, making the artwork appear to rise up as a colorful mirage amidst the quaint village atmosphere of Śródka when approached from the east (tram stop Rondo Śródka).

The idea for the mural was conceived by Gerard Cofta, a long-time Śródka resident.

Artist Radosław Barek then utilized preserved photographs of the old Śródka as inspiration for the concept of painting several houses on the wall using spatial illusions. The mural, titled “The Story of Śródka with a Trumpeter on the Roof and a Cat in the Background,” brings to life the red roofs, colorful facades, and lively atmosphere of the past.

Śródka has always been a unique and historically rich district, with its origins dating back to the 13th century. After a period of decline in the 1960s due to urban development, the area underwent a major revitalization in 2007, transforming it into a hip and bustling neighborhood that attracts crowds every weekend.

The mural, which was painted by a team of four to eight people over a month, has drawn attention not only from Poland but also from around the world. Its images have been featured on prominent websites dedicated to architecture and beyond. This stunning piece of street art has breathed new life into the Śródka district and may inspire similar projects for other buildings in the area.

In the heart of Lyon, France, adorning the façade of a building, stands the magnificent Wall of the Silk Weavers (La Fresque des Canuts)

This enormous mural, painted in the trompe-l’oeil style, mesmerizes viewers with its hyperrealistic imagery and intricate details, offering a captivating glimpse into the everyday life of the La Croix-Rousse neighborhood.

Created by the talented group of mural painters known as CitéCréation, the mural first came to life in 1987 as a tribute to the neighborhood’s rich history. La Croix-Rousse once served as the bustling center of Lyon’s silk industry during the 19th century, earning it the nickname “the hill that works.” The mural, known as “Le Mur des Canuts,” pays homage to the silk weavers who resided and toiled in this vibrant community.

The mural captures the essence of the neighborhood’s past, featuring colorful buildings, pastel-hued high windows, a stone stairway, a charming Guignol theater, and, of course, a silk shop. Every detail is meticulously crafted to create a three-dimensional effect, seamlessly blending art with the architectural heritage of Lyon.

La Croix-Rousse’s silk industry may have diminished over time, but the mural stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of the silk workers who once rebelled against their oppressive working conditions in 1831. Their courageous spirit continues to echo through the vibrant streets of La Croix-Rousse.

Throughout the years, the mural has undergone two updates, in 1997 and 2013, reflecting the evolving landscape and spirit of the neighborhood. Today, it remains one of Europe’s largest displays of public art, drawing visitors from far and wide to admire its grandeur and immerse themselves in Lyon’s rich cultural heritage.

As you wander the streets of Lyon, be sure to seek out this awe-inspiring mural, marvel at its trompe-l’oeil mastery, and become enthralled by the story it tells. The Wall of the Silk Weavers is not just a painting; it is a living testament to the history, artistry, and indomitable spirit of La Croix-Rousse.

WALLART about the mural: A three-dimensional mural at Iness Hotel is ready! Although it is only 90 m2, the details would be enough for a few larger murals. The interior design was modeled in 3D by Studio Zahora – Thank you for your great cooperation! Thanks to this, we managed to achieve a perfect 3D illusion effect when we observe the mural from one specific place. We are impressed that it turned out so well.

For centuries, the women of Ondarroa managed the most important activities of village life. This mural is a tribute to many of those women

By Muraleslian in Ondarroa, Spain.

Muraleslian: For centuries, the women of Ondarroa managed the most important activities of village life. This mural is a tribute to many of those women.

The weaver, methodical and austere is an archetype that refuses to submit, she is living memory. When she weaves, she weaves something more than what we see with the naked eye.

The net’s creation is individual and collective identity… and we already know that collective identity is impossible without memory, it must be maintained by memory. To remember is to make visible, to claim, to repair. And as a weaver in Ondarroa said not long ago: “you have to fix things, you have to dignify them”.

The nets she and many others weave are networks that hold and maintain the community together. In between the threads arise woven tales through which lived stories are narrated.

Sometimes the practice of a trade leads to introspection, silence and remembrance, and other times it leads to words, solidarity and the search for solutions to common problems. When the activity is publicly exposed (when it is practised outdoors), the ability to transmit, the desire to share experience and the importance of the processes are made public.

This mural is also, in part, a legacy in the practice of sharing. Its anchored in this town, in this neighbourhood – as a contribution to the exercise of memory: meticulous hands of women, hands of woman past and present, THE HANDS OF MANY IN THIS TOWN, creating reality and at the same time eroding old archetypes based on oblivion and invisibilization.

It is an invitation to continue threading the true legacy of all those who have not ceased to weave/create/concoct, that is: let us continue to weave together!…

5 years of work to complete this masterpiece

Marcoguoli: This property called “The guitar of trees” is located in the extreme south of the province of Córdoba, 20 km north of General Levalle. The idea of ​​creating this drawing visible from the air was conceived by Graciela Yraizoz. But due to her premature death, it was her husband Pedro Ureta who carried out the work in the late ’70s. The park is 25 hectares, 2,500 meters long and 400 meters wide. It is made up of pine, California cypress, pineapple cypress and medicinal eucalyptus.

It took Pedro Ureta and his employees 5 years of work to complete this masterpiece, starting from little plants between 15 and 25 cm 🌿. Pedro passed away on September 19, 2019, when he was 79 years old. The ranch is still under the care of his children Ignacio, María Julia, Soledad and Ezequiel.

The characteristic form of the stay can be appreciated only from the air, but by contacting the official blog estancialaguitarra.blogspot.com you may be able to book a visit within the premises.

Muralist Claire Daliers

By trompe-l’oeil painter Claire Daliers and a team of five artists at Quai des Charbonnages 40 in Molenbeek, Brussels, Belgium (2003). Mural depicts the struggle of an imposing ship, caught in a restless swelling sea.

The Drunken Ship: “This 400 m2 fresco which covers the three facades of the building is not strictly speaking a mural comic. It is the realization of a man’s dream. Guy François, owner of the Chien Vert stores and madly in love with the sea, decides to fit out a building he has just bought next to his stores. His passion for the sea had already decided for him: the decoration of the facade would consist of a magnificent fresco representing the image of a sailboat. “.
