URBAN EXPRESSIONISM 

A simplistic yet profound artistic style, and movement, in Art which speaks with the deliberate position of using art as a communicative tool. It is an art-form in which art and communication could reasonably merge and become one flesh; through the use of flowing brushstrokes, markings, words, text, signs, and symbols

Did you see that painting in the other gallery? It had that way cool and urban flow style with the words and symbols in it? It looks simple but it makes you think Is it Jean-Micheli Basquiat? Not, it is URBAN EXPRESSIONISM
