With the number of creatives that frequent the city, it is not a surprise that most of the buildings are sprayed and tagged with graffiti and street art.
City Buzz thought it was time to take residents for a tour of the street art and find out if they’d know where they were on seeing these pieces of graffiti.
ARTISTIC IMPRESSION: This piece will let you know that you’re at the bottom of Braamfontein, where Viljoen and Smit streets merge.
ANTIQUE: Antique noted plates are stuck to the wall at the intersection of Kruger and Fox streets in Maboneng and this makes for some beautiful vintage street art.
DOWN BELOW: You are below the M1 highway and next to Newtown Junction if you see this artwork on Henry Nxumalo Street in Newtown.
ICONOGRAPHY: Historical icons are painted on the wall on the corner of Fox and Kruger streets in Maboneng.
STREET ART: Ryza paints his Boss Fish on the corner of Gwigwi Mrwebi and Henry Nxumalo streets in Newtown.
CORNER CULTURE: If you see this abstract street art, you are on the corner of Henry Nxumalo and Gwigwi Mrwebi streets in Newtown.
BACK IN TIME: If you see Shakespeare, you are opposite the Museum of African Design (MOAD) on Albrecht Street in Maboneng.
WATCHING OVER: This painting of the late Nelson Mandela watches over Braamfontein on 70 Juta Street.
FIERCE: Lower Page Street in Maboneng is where you are if you see this fierce roaring tiger.
